 “For example, those organisms that you find just
around you and other places in the country.”

“You were also introduced to the cells that differ in

plants and animals.”

(ELICIT)

“Some of organisms consists only of a single cell

while others have many”

“There are also an organisms that are so small and

can be seen only with the microscope”

“For this module, we will understand the concept of

biodiversity, specifically of organisms living on
Earth. We will also discuss how these organisms are
classified and named.”

“How these organisms are classified?”

“For today’s topic, we are going to discuss about

biodiversity. Specifically, the variety of organisms
living on Earth”

“This will discuss how they are classified and

named”

“It will also show the differences and similarities

among organisms, and it will described the different
groups to which these organisms belong”
D. Discussing new “Let’s have an activity first” After performing this activity, the
concepts and student should be able to;

PROCEDURE: naming organisms.
1) Get the pictures of organisms from your teacher.
 2) With your group, discuss how each of these
organisms is called in your community. Accept
any name which your group mates will give for
an organisms. If you know other names which
an organisms is called in another place, include
them. Write these on the worksheet provided.
3) Be ready when you teacher asks you to present
your work to the class. Take note of how the
other groups named each of the organisms
shown.
Answer the following questions:
Q1. Are there organisms that other gave the same to
as your group did? Give examples.
Q2. Are there organisms that others gave a different
name to as your group did? What are these
organisms?
Q3. What can you say about your knowledge of the
organisms before the other groups’ presentation?

“Today’s activity has to do with our next topic.”

“Let us explore how these organisms are classified

and named. It will also show the differences and
similarities among organisms, and it will describe the
different groups to which these organisms belong”

E. Discussing new “ Bio comes from two words: bio which is short for
concepts and biology (living things) and diversity (variety)”
practicing new
skills #2 “Kindly read what is biodiversity!” “Biodiversity refers to every living
(Explore) thing, including plants, bacteria,
animals, and humans.”
“Biodiversity is the variety of life forms found on
Earth. It encompasses all living organisms, from tiny
bacteria to large animals, including plants and
humans.”

“There are three levels of biodiversity”

“We have species diversity, Genetic diversity, and
ecosystem diversity”

“Do you have any idea what is species diversity?” “Different species”

“Good point!”
“What is species diversity? Kindly read!” “Species diversity refers to the
variety and abundance of different
species within a specific area or
“Thank you! Species diversity is all about the ecosystem.
different types of living things, like animals, plants,
and tiny organisms, that exist in a specific area or
environment.”

“Next is genetic diversity. Kindly read”
“Genetic diversity refers to the
variety of genetic information
contained within a population or a
species. It includes the DNA
sequence, genes, alleles, and genetic
traits.

“Genetic diversity is essential for the long-term

survival and adaptation of populations to changing
environmental conditions.

“Ecosystem diversity refers to the

“How about the ecosystem diversity?”
variety of different ecosystem or
habitats in a specific area or across
the globe. It includes the various
types of environments, such as
forests, grasslands, wetlands, deserts,
oceans, and coral reefs”

“Ecosystem is simply the different types of

homes for plants and animals. These homes can
be forests, rivers, oceans, deserts, or anywhere
else living things live”
F. Developing
mastery (leads “If there are lots of organisms living on Earth, do you
to Formative think you will still know about them?”
Assessment)
(EXPLAIN) “Do organisms have to be classified? What do you
think?”

“Okay! Let’s discuss the different levels of

classification”

“But before that let us define the word “Taxonomy is the science of
TAXONOMY” classifying organisms to construct
internationally-shared Classification
“What is Taxonomy?” systems with each organisms placed
into more and more inclusive
groupings”
“Thank you! Taxonomy means Arrangement law”

“Think of it as if you were going to a grocery store or

supermarket. How did they arrange their products? Is
it mix? Or by group?” “No, ma’am”
“In one large space or the space of supermarket for
example, it is divided into departments such as
produce, dairy, meats. Each department further
divides into aisles. Then, each aisle into categories
and brands. And finally, a single product”

“This organization from larger to smaller, more

specific categories is called the HIERARCHICAL
SYSTEM”

“Again, when we say TAXONOMY, this is a part of

science that focuses on naming and classifying or
grouping organisms”

“Are you familiar with Carolus Linnaeus?” “Carolus Linnaeus is considered to

be the Father of Taxonomy. In
“Who is Carolus Linnaeus? Kindly read!” 1700s, he developed how the species
should be named or grouped, which
“His two most important contributions to Taxonomy we are studying right now.”
were; Hierarchical classification system, and The
system of binomial nomenclature (a two-part naming
method)

“In taxonomy classification system, there are 8 main

levels. From the most inclusive to the most
exclusive.” “Domain, Kingdom, phylum, class,
order, family, genus and species”
“The 8 main levels of the taxonomy classification
system are, kindly read, everyone!

“For example”

Domain Eukarya
Kingdom Animalia
Phylum Chordata
Class Mammalia
Order Primata
Family Hominidae
Genus Homo
Species Sapiens

“Scientists uses scientific names to prevent

confusions, especially when they are using common
names for organisms. What do you think is the
reason? Do you have any idea?”

“The common names of the organisms are changing

according to the language you are using in different
countries”

“That’s why we have scientific names that served as

universal names to help scientists to clarify the
organisms they are referring to without confusing
anyone”

“Scientific names also provide the identity of

organisms and indicate their true nature”

“The Domain is the largest category into which

organisms have been classified. This is followed by
the kingdom category subdivided into various phyla
(sing. Phylum). A phylum consist of different
classes, each class with several orders, an order with
different families. Families consist of several genera
(sing. Genus), and each genus comprise the smallest
group of various species.”
“ Ma’am! It is a group of animals or
“Do you have any idea what is species means?” plants”

“Good idea. Now, kindly read what is species” “Species is a group of similar
organisms and capable of
reproducing their own kind”
 “Example, we as humans, is an example of species,
just like the dogs, cows, gumamela and others.”

“Scientists came up with the three-domain system of

classification. Before the organisms were just divided
into two. These are the Eukaryotes and prokaryotes”

“Can someone differentiate eukaryotes from

prokaryotes? Do you have an idea?

“Correct! Eukaryotes have a materials that are

enclosed in a membrane, however the prokaryotes
are not. Most of the prokaryotes are tiny and
unicellular, thus, are referred to as microorganisms.
A lot of eukaryotes are multicellular, thus, are larger
in size because of the greater number of cells their
bodies contain”

“Recently, prokaryotes have been divided into two

domains, namely: Archaea and Bacteria. The
eukaryote group was retained and now consists the
third domain (Eukarya) that includes protists, fungi,
and animals.”

“What you see in this table is the sample

classification of organisms. So, we have here the
category; the kingdom, phylum, class, order, family,
genus, and species. And on the other hand, we have
the different classifications of organisms. We have
the domesticated cat, dog, bangus, wolf and lion”
“Bacteria and fungi are examples of
prokaryotes, while animals and
plants are examples of eukaryotes”

“Eukaryotes have nucleus while

prokaryotes have no nucleus”

“Let us have the dog for example.”

“The dog are classified in the kingdom anemalia.

Phylum, belong in chordata. Its class is mammalia,
order is carnivora, family is Felidae, Genus is Felis,
and species is familiaris”

“That’s why, dog has a scientific name Canis

familiaris”

“And take note that if you are going to write the

scientific name of an organisms, you have to
combine the genus and species”
