What a memory!
 (3 minutes)
Now, what is Non-Mendelian? Non-Mendelian refers to the inheritance of traits that

two alleles and complete dominance.

What are the three types of Non-Mendelian

inheritance? Incomplete dominance, codominance, multiple alleles.

what is species diversity?
How about Genetic diversity?
How about Ecosystem diversity?
F. Finding practical 1. Discussion of the concept.
Ecosystem diversity Ma’am.
Species diversity is the number of different species
present in an ecosystem and relative abundance of each
of those species. To make a more efficient, productive
and sustainable ecosystem, it is important to maintain
high species diversity.
Genetic diversity is the range of the different inherited
traits within a species. This component of biodiversity
is important because it allows populations to adapt to
environmental changes through the survival and
reproduction of individuals within a population that
have particular genetic characteristics that enable them
to withstand these changes.
Ecosystem biodiversity can be defined as the variety of
different habitats, communities and ecological
processes. It boosts the availability of oxygen through
photosynthesis among plant organisms living in a
certain habitat.

skills in daily living/ Making
generalizations and
abstractions about the lesson
(Elaborate)
(15 minutes)
Have you enjoyed the activity?
Yes, Ma’am.
Now let’s discuss the Biodiversity.
What is Biodiversity?
Biodiversity is the variety of life Ma’am.
Excellent! What is BIO and DIVERSITY means?
BIO means “life” Ma’am and DIVERSITY means
“Variety” Ma’am.
Terrific! What are the three level of Biodiversity?
Species diversity, Genetic diversity and Ecosystem
Diversity Ma’am.
Precisely! What is Species diversity? Anyone?
Species diversity Ma’am refers to the species richness
and evenness of the species abundance Ma’am.
Very good! What does species richness mean?
It tells the number of species Ma’am in an ecosystem, if
a community has more species, it is said to be more
diverse.
Awesome! What does Evenness of species
abundance mean?
It refers Ma’am to the number of individuals of a
particular species in a community, if the abundance of
species is even, it is more diverse.
Very good! Now give me an example of Species
diversity.
Humans, animals, insects, plants and soon so forth.
Exactly! How about the Genetic diversity?
 It is genetic information and/or inherited traits that
organisms contain Ma’am.
Awesome! Can you give me an example of Genetic
diversity? Anyone?
Different breeds of dogs Ma’am.

Very good! How can you say that the dog has
different breeds?
Based on their physical appearance such like colors,
sizes, furs and etc.

Very good! Now, what is the Ecosystem diversity?

It is the different kinds of places where organisms live
and the interconnections that bind these organisms.

What are the examples of Ecosystem diversity?

Grass lands, deserts, mountains, rainforest, tundra and
soon so forth.

Did you understand what biodiversity is?

Yes, Ma’am.

How about the three levels of biodiversity? Yes, Ma’am.

Are there any questions? Clarifications? None Ma’am.

2. APPLICATION

Now let’s have an activity. I will group in this class

into 3 groups. I will give you an envelope
containing the materials that you need. What you
are going to do is to make a Slogan about the
Biodiversity and present it in front of one
representative. I will give you 12 minutes to do
your activity and 3 minutes for the presentation.

Did you understand? Yes, Ma’am.

Here’s our rubric for the presentation.

(see the rubric sheet)

Your time is up! Back to your proper seat. To rate

your performances, the group 1 will rate the group
2, the group 2 will rate the group 3 and the group
3 will rate the group 1.

Understand?
Yes, Ma’am.
Okay group 1 please present your output.

Okay let’s give them an excellent clap. (The group 1 present their output)

(The remaining groups perform the clap)

Okay group 2 please.

Okay let’s give them an excellent clap. (The group 2 present their output)

Group 3 please. (The remaining groups perform the clap)

Okay let’s give them an excellent clap. (The group 3 present their output)

Thank you for your excellent performance! (The remaining groups perform the clap)

4. GENERALIZATION

What is Biodiversity?

Biodiversity is the variety of life Ma’am.

What is BIO and DIVERSITY means?
