and Time

I.OBJECTIVES

A. Content standards The learners demonstrate an understanding of;

The influence of biodiversity on the stability of ecosystems.

B. Performance Standards Write an essay on the importance of adaptation as a mechanism for the survival of a species.

C. Learning Competencies/Objectives
At the end of the lesson, the learners should be able to:
1. define biodiversity and stability;
2. explain how species diversity increases the probability of adaptation and survival of organisms in changing
environment (S10LT-IIIi-42;
3. identify species and determined their value; and
4. recognize the significance of biodiversity and stability.

 IV.PROCEDURES

A. Reviewing previous lesson or Let learners recall the previous lesson.

presenting the new lesson (ELICIT) Ask the students about THEORIES OF EVOLUTION. (5 mins)

Yes, that's right! THE THEORIES OF EVOLUTION stated there the occurrence of the different species that lived in the past
and continued their generations today.

B. Establishing a purpose for the lesson Ask the students what they know about biodiversity. (3 mins)
(ENGAGE)
Motivation (activity#1)
-Each student is asks to give word/s that is related to Biodiversity.

Let's discover the properties of biodiversity, as we move on with our lesson. But before that, let me present the learning
objectives for this lesson.
At the end of the discussion, then you should be able to:
A. define biodiversity and stability;
B. explain how species diversity increases the probability of adaptation and survival of organisms in changing
environment S10LT-IIIi-42;
C. identify species and determined their value; and
D. recognize the significance of biodiversity and stability.

MATERIALS: PPT, Chalk, Chalkboard, SMART TV

C. Presenting examples/instances of the The teacher will relate the motivational activity by letting the learners give and share their ideas about the topic and asking
new lesson (ENGAGE/EXPLORE) questions about it. (5 mins)

ACTIVITY 1 What’s In
Directions: Below are pictures of some animals and their different forms of adaptation. Match the words in Column B (forms of
adaptation) and the related use of adaptation in Column C with the pictures in Column A. Write the letter and number (in
Roman Numeral) for coding your answer. An example has been given as your guide. Use a separate sheet of paper to record
your responses.
D. Discussing new concepts and Ask the following questions about the actitivy above. (5 mins)
practicing new skill #1 (EXPLORE) 1. What would happen if an animal’s habitat changes due to climate change or destruction?\
2. How could it adapt to survive in a new habitat? Could it move to another habitat?

E. Discussing new concepts and Biodiversity and Stability (20 mins)

practicing new skill #2 (EXPLORE) Biodiversity is a term that describes how varied living things are in a specific area. The variety of life forms in a particular
ecosystem- a community of organisms that live, feed and interact with the environment.

Stability of an ecosystem can be described as the resilience to withstand changes that may occur in the environment. There are
many changes that occur in the environment which may be a result of natural or human activities. These changes may severely
reduce biodiversity and result to the instability of the ecosystem.

Organisms are part of biodiversity and may be economically and ecologically valuable. Their products are source of food,
medicine, clothing, shelter, and energy. These organisms are also important in maintaining balance in the ecosystem as they are
performing their specific roles. Some species maintain the quality of natural bodies of water; some prevent soil erosion and
floods, cycle minerals in the soil and absorb pollutants. Others feed on insects and pests which control the population of
organisms in a certain environment, thus making the ecosystem balance and stable.
Every organism has a unique ecosystem within which it lives-its natural habitat. This is where its basic needs to survive are met:
food, water, shelter from the changing weather and climate and place to breed its offspring. Habitats are constantly changing
and evolving. Animals living within must constantly adapt to environmental changes, big or small.
Adaptation is all about survival. When the environment dramatically changes, some animals move to other places, others die,
and some develop adaptations over generations to survive.

Animals have variety of ways to adapt to their environment. These include:

1. Structural or Physical or using body structures to help an animal survive.
a. Camouflage- a defense mechanism or tactic that the organisms use to disguise their appearance,
usually to blend in with their surroundings.
b. Mimicry-ability of an organism to imitate and copycat another species in terms of sound,
appearance, smell, behavior, or location to protect itself. It also refers to the resemblance of an
animal species to another species or to natural objects.
c. Chemical defenses include substances utilized by prey which are harmful to invading organisms.
d. Body coverings- cover the body and protect animals from external factors.

2. Behavioral or how animals respond or act to life needs. Behavioral adaptation could be instinctive or happen
naturally.
a. Hibernation- when animals bare sleep as a response to cold weather and survive the cold winter.
b. Migration-a behavioral adaptation that involves an animal or group of animals
travelling from one place to another and then back again when seasons change.
c. Learned Behaviors. These animal behaviors are obtained and acquired by
interacting with the environment and cannot be passed on to the next generation
except by teaching. Examples are swimming, playing, walking, jumping, etc. .

Each adaptation has been produced by evolution. This only means that the adaptations have developed over many generations.
Adaptations of species of plants and animals in their environment could result to high biodiversity.
  Biodiversity benefits people in many ways. The greatest value to humans, however, comes from the ecosystem services
it provides. The value of species can be divided into various categories:

F. Developing Mastery (EXPLAIN) Enrichment Activity 2 (5 mins)

Directions: Visit a specific area in your school or at home (e. g. garden). Using a pen and a clean sheet of paper, list down five
(5) organisms found in that area and describe the value of each organism. Then, classify the value of the organisms by putting a
check mark (/) on the space under the correct column. An example has been given. If you think that an organism has more than
one value, put a check mark (/) on each.

concepts skills in daily living

H. Making generalizations and
abstractions about the lesson
