LESSON PROPER
ZOOM
A. Engage
The students will watch a video about the big five mass extinction.
B. Explore
The students will do the activity on pg. 73 entitled “Last Animal Standing”.
C. Explain
1.How is extinction evident in the activity?
2.What causes the extinction of the organism?
3. What environmental change can make the cactus still alive?
D. Extend
With the environmental changes happening in the present, do you think another mass extinction will occur?
E. Evaluate
A. Identify what mass extinction is being described in each statement. Write D if Devonian, O if
Ordovician, P if Permian, T if Triassic, and C if Cretaceous.
_____ 1. Roughly 80% of life was lost, including most mammals, paving the way for the ancestors of the dinosaurs.
_____ 2. The asteroid impact released abundant debris in the atmosphere, leading to brief superheating followed by
rapid cooling.
_____ 3. It is characterized by algal bloom, which eliminated marine animals.
_____ 4. Theory suggests that tons of CO2 was in the atmosphere due to volcanic eruptions.
_____ 5. This mass extinction is characterized by an asteroid impact in Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico, and wiped out
all dinosaurs, along with roughly 60% of all life on Earth.
_____ 6. This mass extinction occurred 365 million years ago.
_____ 7. This extinction is caused by a massive volcanic activity in Siberia. The volcanic activity caused huge
amounts of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and CO2 to be released.
_____ 8. This is the first mass extinction.
_____ 9. Organisms that were once adapted to cooler climates vanished due to the increase in temperature.
_____ 10. This mass extinction is considered the deadliest because 96% of life was lost.
B. Give one natural and anthropogenic causes of extinction and describe each.
GENYO
Objectives:
1. Identify the two classes of natural resources; and
2. Enumerate ways to conserve biodiversity.

Engage: The students will watch a video about conserving natural resources.
Explore: The students will read about conserving biodiversity on pp. 75-77.
Explain:
Checkpoint
1.What are Earth’s natural resources?
2. What is the difference between renewable and non-renewable resources?
Extend: The students will play the game about renewable and non-renewable resources.
Evaluate:
A. Write R if the given natural resource is renewable and NR if it is nonrenewable.
1.minerals
2.air
3. water
4. natural gas
5. rocks
B. What can you contribute to ensure that the next generation will enjoy Earth’s resources that you are using now?
