PRELUDE

I. Rationale

In teaching biodiversity and stability, I aim to cultivate a comprehensive

awareness of the intricate relationships within ecosystems. By employing diverse
teaching methods, that I let them participate in hands on experience of a game activity
to motivate them to easily engage in the topic. I intend to integrate concepts of
biodiversity and stability into various subjects to emphasize their real-world relevance.
Through practical application, I ask them to cites the factors that affects the population
of organism in their soundings and how to conduct an action for it. The instructional
focus is not only on conveying facts but also on nurturing a sense of responsibility,
encouraging students to become advocates for biodiversity conservation.

I teaching this topic beacuse it's crucial as it fosters an understanding of the

interconnectedness of ecosystems. Biodiversity enhances resilience, ensuring
ecosystems can adapt to environmental changes. By imparting this knowledge, we
empower individuals to contribute to conservation efforts, promoting sustainability and
a balanced coexistence between human activities and the natural world. Moreover,
Students equipped with this knowledge are more likely to make informed decisions that
prioritize environmental conservation. Understanding the role of diverse species in
maintaining ecosystem equilibrium reinforces the importance of preserving natural
habitats, fostering a harmonious relationship between humanity and the diverse array of
life on Earth.

II. Performance objectives (indicated the code)

 Explain relationship between population growth and carrying capacity (S10LT-IIIi-

42)

 Suggest ways to minimize human impact on the environment. (S10LT-IIIi-43)

III. Topic: Biodiversity and Stability

IV. Materials: laptop, projector, and ppt

OBJECTIVES

At the end of the lesson the students will be able to:

 To analyze the impact of biodiversity to the stability of an ecosystems

 To identify the factors that can affect the populations size of organism

 To appreciate the beauty and importance of biodiversity in our lives

About what? biodiversity and evolution

Yes, you have learned how

evolution through natural
selection can result in biodiversity.
In this module you will learn how
biodiverse can influence the
stability of an ecosystem.

different puzzles. Each of the leader of
the group will get 1 envelope here.
Do you have the envelope now?
(Leaders of the group will
go to front and get one
envelope)

Each envelop has 7 puzzle pieces, right?

Yes, ma'am!
Now, I want you to build the following
designs in the screen, use your tangram Yes, ma'am!
that match to your puzzle pieces.
Yes, ma'am!

Are you done class?

What form did you arranged?

Yes, ma'am!

Group 1: Cat

Group 2: Cow

Group 4: Butterflies

After doing the activity, what do you think (The students will shout

Student: Ma'am
Very good something about
biodiversity.
That is our topic for today, is all about
biodiversity. (Other students answer
may vary)

Group 3: Pollution

Time: 50 minutes Group 4: Floods

The content of your essay should

only focus in convincing your
classmates on how to stop the said title
of each group. I will give 10 minutes to do
your activity.

If you done in your persuasive essay, you

will present your persuasive speech in

we’ve discussed today. So, who among varied living things that
you here can define biodiversity? are in specific area.

Very good!

So, every living organism around us

has its own important role or value for us
to live. It can be economical, ecological,
and aesthetical value.

The value of species can be divided into Students': Direct

three various categories. What are those economic value, indirect
categories? economic value, and
aesthetic value

and contributes to the environmental

our environments without plants,
animals and nothing around us, just the
human being? What will happen to us?
Students: answer may
vary

Ok, that's right. All your answer may occur

if no biodiversity surrounding us.
Remember that less biodiversity, the
ecosystem will become unstable, but
the greater biodiversity, the more
chances that stability can be attained in
an ecosystem. Is it clear class?

That's why populations size of species Yes, ma'am!

values that include many basic needs
humans obtain from biodiversity such as
food, fuel, shelter, and medicine. Right?

Populations is a group of organisms of

the same species that live in a certain
area, right?
Yes, ma'am!
So, there are many factors that can cause
a populations size to change such as
density-independent and density
dependent. So,who can give an example
of these? Yes, ma'am!

Did you understand the lesson? Any
clarifications? Additions? Questions?

Application

Since you have no questions, we will

have an activity. In a one whole sheet of
paper, write down (in a bullet type) the
factors of population growth ups and (Students will do their

grow and cite at least two ways on
how to conduct an action for the
decreasing population.

I will give you 10 minutes for you to do it

Students: yes, ma'am!

Okay, class submit your answer on my

table.
