Lesson Plan in Science

Grade 6

I. Objectives

At the end of the lesson, students should be able to:

A. Demonstrate understanding of the different characteristics of vertebrates and

invertebrates; and S6MT - IIe - f - 3
B. Make an inventory of vertebrates and invertebrates that are commonly seen in
the community. S6MT - IIe - f - 3

II. Subject Matter

A. Topic: Vertebrates and Invertebrates

B. References:
C. Materials: small box, animal pictures, strips of paper
D. Value Focus: Love and care for animals

III. Procedure

A. Opening Activities
 Greetings
 Prayer
 Review of the past lesson

B. Lesson Proper

a. Motivation
 The teacher will show a picture of a dog and a spider.
 The teacher will ask the students to raise their hands if they have a
pet dog or spider.
 The teacher will ask the students to describe their pets.

b. Activity
 Getting to Know the Creatures of the Animal Kingdom
 The teacher will draw two columns on the blackboard labelled as
vertebrates and invertebrates.
  The teacher will show students a picture of an animal (6 pictures in
total) and then the teacher will ask the students to name the animal
that’s in the picture.
 The teacher will then paste the animal picture in its corresponding
category on the column. (This will serve as a guide for students in
doing the activity)
 The teacher prepared a small box that contains different pictures of
animals.
 The teacher will let each one of the students to pick a picture of an
animal inside the small box.
 In their lecture notebooks, the students will paste the picture of an
animal that they had picked from the box and then they will describe
it.

c. Analysis
 Then, the students will answer these questions:
o In what category is this animal belongs? Vertebrates or
invertebrates? Why?
 After doing the activity in their notebooks, the teacher will ask some
students to share their works in the class.

d. Abstraction
 The students will now determine the different characteristics of
vertebrates and invertebrates.
 The teacher will show two strips of paper with a characteristic of
vertebrates written on it and a characteristic of invertebrates on the
other one.
 The teacher will ask the students which one should be paste in the
column of vertebrates and in the column of invertebrates.

e. Generalization
 Then, the teacher will ask two students to read aloud the
characteristics of vertebrates and invertebrates.

f. Application
 The teacher will divide the class into small groups.
 The students will draw a Venn diagram in a Manila paper to compare
and contrast the characteristics of vertebrates and invertebrates.
 Then, the students will present their works in the class.

IV. Evaluation
 The teacher will give an assessment with two parts.
  The first part will be a 10-item modified true or false about the different
characteristics of vertebrates and invertebrates.
 The second part is the enumeration wherein the students will have to list 5
vertebrates and 5 invertebrates that can be seen in their community.

V. Assignment
 In a short-sized bond paper, the students will make any form of art work that
shows one of their favourite vertebrates and one of their favourite
invertebrates.
 On the next meeting, students will share their work in the class and will
explain why they chose those vertebrates and invertebrates as their
favourites and how do they take care of them.
