Hi Everyone!

Welcome to Week 6

What did you

expect for this week?
CONTENT STANDARD: The learners demonstrate understanding of…

How changes in the environment may affect species extinction

PERFORMANCE STANDARDS: The learners should be able to...

Make a brochure about local and global environmental issues/ problems

that are also affecting the community.

LEARNING COMPETENCY:

Relate species extinction to the failure of populations of organisms to adapt

to abrupt changes in the environment
Eight million seven hundred thousand (give or take 1.3
million) is the latest estimated total number of species on
Earth and the most precise calculation ever offered,
according to a new study co-authored by a researcher with
the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP,2015)

What is species extinction?
Extinctions occur when the last individual of a species dies out.
Functional Extinctions occur when individuals remain but the odds of sustainable
reproduction are low i.e. the species is effectively extinct even though
individuals remain

Threatened Species – species that have rapidly decreasing numbers of individual.

Endangered Species – a species in which the number of individuals falls so low that
extinction is possible
Extinct or not
extinct
 WHAT’S
THE
WORD?

word/s that best
describe the

RELATING SPECIES EXTINCTION TO ORGANISMS' FAILURE TO ADAPT TO THE ABRUPT CHANGES IN THE
ENVIRONMENT

The extreme heat that the world is feeling or experiencing right now is due to the climate change. We are already experiencing global
warming. Not only humans but also every other organisms including animals and plants. The human race can still thrive in this climate
change, however other organisms like animals and plants hardly adapt to this climate change.

The inability of other organisms to adapt to this change poses great and serious challenge and a problem to the environment. Some if not
all organisms, hardly adapt to the abrupt changes in the environment, thus resulting to extinction. Extinction happens because organisms
cannot withstand the change. For example, global warming, some animals do not thrive in a hot environment and because animals are
not prepared to this change, the tendency is they will fail to adapt. If animals fail to adapt, animals die.
