A. EXPLORATION

Let’s play a game called 4 pics 1

1. Motivation word.
Are you familiar with this game “Yes/No, teacher”
class?

Okay, that’s good! This game is a

word puzzle game wherein you are
going to guess the word out of the
four pictures I will be showing.

Let’s begin the game.

So, I have here a set of pictures:

water, food, house, air.

What do you think is the right word

that relates to these things I have
mentioned?

The one who could guess the correct

word will receive a chocolate after *Raise their hands
our class.
2. Presentation Alright! The word that we are looking
is “needs.” These pictures show the
needs of humans, animals, and
plants, which will be our topic for this
morning.

Now, I want you to watch and

3. Pre-Activity observe the video that I am going to
play.

While you are watching, take down

notes of important needs you’ll see in
the video.

Later on, I will group you into 4

groups and each group will assign a
reporter to share your learnings
about the video.”
Yes, teacher.
Did you get it class?
*The students watch
Great! Let’s watch this. the video.

*Start the groupings

BASIC NEEDS OF
4. Activity Proper
HUMAN ANIMALS PLANTS

Now, each group will list all the basic

needs of humans, animals and plants
you have seen from the video.

B. EXPLAIN

1. Group reporting I will give each group 5 minutes to

present what you have gathered with *Each group will
your group. report
 Great! Your works are correct.

2. Discussion The basic needs to live:

Water- is the most essential element

of life. Our bodies is made up of 70%
water, that’s why it is so important to
stay dehydrated.

Air- Without oxygen, humans and

animals will die. Without Carbon
Dioxide, plants won’t survive.

Shelter- Provide protection from

predators or harsh elements.

Food- Give us energy to function

Apart from that, humans and

animals, sunlight to warm their self.
Plants cannot make their own food
without sunlight and without plants,
we have nothing to eat.

We also need some clothes to cover

our body or for us to protect our body
from bad weather.

So, these are some important things

that we need in order to survive.
Without it, we will definitely die.

C. ELABORATION
All right!
1. Generalization To sum it up, again what are the 4
basic needs of living things? Food, water, air,
shelter

Very good! Aside from those things Sunlight, Clothes

you have mentioned, what else?

That’s right. So again, why are It helps us to

these things important to us? survive.
To gain energy.
You are all right, very good! For our protection.

I could see that you have really

understood our lesson for this
afternoon.

2. Application This time, I want you to meet your

group again for we will play another *Meet their group
game.

This game is called “I need it,

provide it.” Basically, this game is
about providing what I am asking
based on the statement or scenario
I will be sharing to you later on. So
with your group, you have to gather
ideas and write the right thing that
you should provide based on what is
being asked in the statement. I will
give each group a piece of chalk
and a small cardboard where you
will be writing your answers.
Yes, teacher.
Understood?

Okay, that’s good!

So let’s have this example.

-The dog is barking too loud

because he is hungry, what does
the dog need?
Food/Water,

class?

Correct! So that’s how the game

works. You just have to write your
answer in the card board and after 5
seconds, all group should raise their
answers, otherwise, your group will
not earn a point. The group who will
accumulate the highest points will
receive a price after the class. So I
have prepared here 11
statements/scenarios.

Shall we start now?
