 how these feedback mechanisms help the organism maintain homeostasis to reproduce and survive;
 the information stored in DNA as being used to make proteins;
 how changes in a DNA molecule may cause changes in its product;
 mutations that occur in sex cells as being heritable;
 how evolution through natural selection can result in biodiversity;

M: ESSENTIAL UNDERSTANDING

The learners demonstrate an understanding about organisms as having feedback mechanisms, which are
coordinated by the nervous and endocrine systems, how these feedback mechanisms help the organism
maintain homeostasis to reproduce and survive, the information stored in DNA as being used to make proteins,
how changes in a DNA molecule may cause changes in its product, mutations that occur in sex cells as being
heritable, how evolution through natural selection can result in biodiversity, the influence of biodiversity on the
stability of ecosystems and an ecosystem as being capable of supporting a limited number of organisms

ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS
1. How the nervous and endocrine system help the organism maintain homeostasis to reproduce
and survive?
2. How the information stored in DNA as being used to make proteins and small change in it would
be responsible for a deformation in the appearance of an offspring?
3. How is the variation in the organisms in our environment is the stability of ecosystems and how
an ecosystem is capable of supporting a limited number of organisms?

T: TRANSFER GOAL
The learners in their own and in the long run will demonstrate how small efforts in lessening the ecological
footprints in the environment could later give a big impact in conserving the environment.

Performance You are a graduate of environmental science in a very famous university
in the United States of America. You chose to return to the country and inspire
other people, especially the youth, to adapt to changes in the environment, now
that climate change is very evident. You then decided to create an inspiring
essay that will stop the captivation of different organisms in the wild just to be
displayed in the zoo, or even make as pets. You will be graded based on
grammar, your own writing style, clarity of the idea, and persuasive claim.

GRASPS
You are a graduate of environmental science in a very famous university in the United States
of America. You chose to return to the country and inspire other people, especially the youth, to
adapt to changes in the environment, now that climate change is very evident. You then decided to
create an inspiring essay that will stop the captivation of different organisms in the wild just to be
displayed in the zoo, or even make as pets. You will be graded based on grammar, your own writing
style, clarity of the idea, and persuasive claim.
