D. Discussion

The Human Life Cycle Stages

Let’s discuss the Stages of Human Life Cycle. And as we discuss, I will ask you to identify the
pictures you were able to form and paste it where it belong among the 5 Stages one at a time.
Okay?

Birth – The start of human life cycle begins after the baby is delivered out by its mother
to the world.

Infancy – Is categorized as lasting birth through the first year of life. The infant is
completely dependent upon its parents or caretakers for survival.

Childhood – Takes place between ages 1-10. The first 2 years, the child is called a
toddler. During this time, the child learns how to walk, talk, running, jumping, identifying
things, eating by themselves and be more self-sufficient. The child is susceptible during
this time to learned habits and behaviours.
 Adolescence – Takes place between ages 12 and 18 and is critical turning point
because it is when puberty takes place. Boy’s voices change and girls get their periods.
As such, they begin to separate more from the parents and become more independent.

Adulthood – Lasts from age 18 throughout old age, Adulthood is when human beings
are fully grown and must provide entirely for themselves. This is also significant time that
adults can give birth.

All of us go through distinct periods of development as they move from infants to young
adults. During each of these multiple changes in development of the brain are taking
place. What occurs and approximately when these developments takes place are
genetically determined. However, environmental circumstances and exchanges with key
individuals within that environment have significant influence on how each child benefits
from each developmental event.

Teacher: Among the 5 Stages of Human Life Cycle, what is your most favourite, and why?

V. Application

Now we are going to have a short activity to see if you have understood well the lesson
 we had today. In your group, you will present the Different Stages of Human Cycle through variety of
activities. I want you to pick One (1) representative from your group to pick one kind of activity you will
present our lesson.
(Pupils will pick one representative and come up front to choose what activity they will present the
topic)

Activities:
Reporting Poetry Jingle/Song

I will give you 15-20 minutes to discuss and formulate your presentation. Good luck!

Criteria: Mastery (30%), Enthusiasm (25%) Content (45%) = 100%

VI. Evaluation

Read and answer the following questions correctly.

1. A child cannot eat alone. He needs help of his parents. What stage of human development does he
belong?

2. What skills can a child display between ages 2-10? Give at least 5 skills.

3. What is the last stage of human development? What distinct characteristic describes individuals under
this stage?

4. What stages of development is being described in this riddle – “In the morning, he moves with four feet,
at midday with two and in the afternoon, with three. Who am I?” (3pts.)

5. If a child learns to walk directly without passing through a crawling in his development stage, did he
skip one of the identified human development stage? Explain your answer.

VII. Assignment
Pick at least 3 members of your family and record their age. Identify what stage of human cycle they
are and observe what skills they can do according to their age.
