III. PROCEDURE

Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity

A. Preparation

Requesting everyone to please stand for

our prayer.
(The students stand.)

Let’s put ourselves to the holy presence

of the Lord. Amen!
Amen!

Good morning class!

Good morning ma’am!

Are you excited to learn today?

Yes ma’am!
Very good! But before we start to our
new discussion let me remind you first
our classroom rules.
A-ttention
L-isten
 C-ooperation

Are all rules clear?

Yes ma’am!
B. Motivation
I will show you a picture about different
kinds of animals.

Teacher’s question:
 What have you observed from the
picture?
 What do you think our possible
topic for today?

Possible answer:
 I observed that there are
different kind of animal’s
ma’am just like grasshopper,
cockroach and the like.
 I think our topic for today is all
about the animals.

C. Presentation

Brilliant you all have a great idea. But our

topic for today is all about “Life Cycle of
Selected Animals with Incomplete
Metamorphosis”

(The teacher will present the objectives

of the lesson).

Can anyone read the objectives?

(The students raise their right hand to
answer).
(The teacher calls one student to read
the lesson’s objectives).

D. Discussion

To understand more about our lesson,

we will be having an activity.

I will group you according to your grade

level.
 Grade 4 will be going to paste the
picture of the animal’s cycle and
identify the different stages.
 Grade 5 will be going to label
each different stages.
Yes ma’am!
I will give you 5 minutes to do this for
grade 4 and after that five minutes for
the grade 5.

Are all instructions clear?

(Let us start the presentation of the

grade 4 followed by the grade 5)
(Presenting their given activity)

Let’s give ourselves a very good clap!

How does the life cycle of animals start?

Different answer.
Gradual metamorphosis

About 12% of insects go through the

three stages of gradual metamorphosis,
including the mayfly, cicada, grasshopper,
aphid, louse and cockroach.
 Egg- a female insect lays eggs.
Sometimes the eggs are in group
and protected by a covering or
case.
 Nymph- the eggs hatch into
nymphs. Nymphs look like small
adults, but usually don’t have
wings. They eat, grow and
change. Nymph most their
gradually begin to look more and
more like adult.
 Adult- once the nymph has grown
to an adult size, they stop
molting. Generally, adults are the
only stage in an insect’s life when
it has wings. Adult’s primary
interest is mating.
What are the stages of gradual
metamorphosis?

Okay Michelle

(Students raised their hand)

Very good! Let’s give her a barangay clap.

The stages of graduals metamorphosis
When do we say that a certain life cycle is start with egg, nymph and adult.
an incomplete metamorphosis?
Who wants to answer?

Okay Mark.

(Students raised their hand)

The life cycle of insects that undergo

incomplete metamorphosis takes
Brilliant answer lets him a Kris Aquino place in three stages egg, nymph and
clap. adult. When they hatch from the egg,
nymph often already look like adults.
Before we proceed to our next activity.
do you have any questions/
clarifications?

E. Application

With the same group, None ma’am!

 The grade 4 will formulate a data
table on Life Cycle of insects with
incomplete or gradual
metamorphosis.
Animal Egg Nymph Adult
Louse
  The grade 5 will create a poster
making about the Life Cycle of
insects with incomplete or
gradual metamorphosis.
