SEMI – DETAILED LESSON PLAN IN SCIENCE 9

I. OBJECTIVES
The learners demonstrate an understanding of how changes in the

Review the meaning of biodiversity.

What do you mean by biodiversity?
B. Establishing a purpose for the Vocabularies
lesson
ENGAGE  Biodiversity refers to a variety of life in the area

 Extinction occurs when the last member of that species dies.

 When the population of the species begins declining rapidly, the

species is said to be a threatened species.

 A species is endangered when its population has become so low that

it is possible of becoming extinct.

 Population is a group of living things within a certain area that are

all of the same species..

 Species a group of organisms that have certain characteristics in
common and are able to interbreed.
 Limiting factors keep a population from increasing in size and help
balance an ecosystem.
 Carrying capacity the maximum population size an environment
can support.
A. Photo Quiz: The words in the box are some of the causes of species
extinction. Look at the pictures below and identify which cause of extinction
matches each group of pictures.
Taking animals for profit Introduction of species
Hunting and Trapping Destruction of habitat
Overharvesting Pollution
(Please refer to Learner’s materials page 51-52 for the pictures)
In any ecosystem, organisms need a balanced environment. A balanced
ecosystem is one in which all living and non-living things are interacting
harmoniously. If one part of the ecosystem is disturbed, other parts will also
be affected.
Activity “Measuring Population Density”
Objectives:
 Determine the pattern of population distribution using mathematical
formula; and
 Compare the distribution patterns of the different populations.
 Explain the limiting factors and carrying capacity.
What happens to a community when its species diversity is reduced?
Does loss of biodiversity affect an ecosystem’s ability to sustain the species
that remain or to perform certain functions that may contribute to the needs
of that ecosystem?
Explain the importance of biological diversity.
Give and explain 5 causes of species extinction.
You will make a multimedia presentation of a timeline of extinction of
representative microorganisms, plants, and animals.
