IV. PRESENTATION

TEACHER’S ACTIVITY STUDENT’S ACTIVITY

A. PRELIMINARY ACTIVITY
 Opening prayer
 Greetings
Good Morning my dear students!
 Checking of Attendance
Let us check first your attendance. Say
present once I call your name.
Is everybody called?
The students stands up before the
praying and sits down after praying
The students greets back the teacher.
The students will say Present if their name
is called.
The students says either Yes or No
Ma’am!

 Motivation
I have here set of pictures and you have to
classify it whether it shows Biodiversity or The students will count off, go to their
Evolution. Count off from 1-7 and find your places and do the activity.
place by group inside the classroom. You
have 10 minutes to do the activity.

 Review of the past lesson

In your previous years, do you remember
talking about nature? The student will speak their answers.
So, what can you remember from your
discussions?

B. LESSON PROPER
For now let’s talk about Biodiversity and
Evolution and we will find out if your answers
are correct.
 Are you ready to listen my students?! The students will either say Yes or No,
So, what is Biodiversity and Evolution? Ma’am!
The students will state an answer.
BIODIVERSITY- It means the richness and
variety of life of genes, species and The students starts to listen.
ecosystem.
- It maintains the health of the earth and
its people.
- It provides us with food and medicine
and contributes to our economy.
- The greater the variety of species, the
healthier the biosphere.

4 TYPES OF BIODIVERSITY
 Genetic diversity describes how closely
related the members of one species are in
a given ecosystem. In simple terms, if all
members have many similar genes, the
species has low genetic diversity.
 Species Diversity-Every ecosystem contains
a unique collection of species, all
interacting with each other. Some
ecosystems may have many more species
than another. In some ecosystems, one
species has grown so large that it
dominates the natural community.
 Ecosystem Diversity-A region may have
several ecosystems, or it may have one.
Wide expanses of oceans or deserts would
be examples of regions with low
ecological diversity. A mountain area that
has lakes, forests and grasslands would
have higher biodiversity, in this sense.
 Functional Diversity-The way species
behave, obtain food and use the natural
resources of an ecosystem is known as
functional diversity. In general a species-
rich ecosystem is presumed to have high
functional diversity, because there are
many species with many different
behaviors.

EVOLUTION- is the variety of ecosystem that

are present in the biosphere.
- Is a component of biodiversity that
generally concerns the range of things
that organisms do in communities and
.
ecosystems.
- Here are eight examples, amongst
many, of evolution in action:
 The Peppered Moth.
 Live Birth in Three-toed Skinks.
  The Arms Race between Crabs and
Mussels.
 Italian Wall Lizards.
 Cane Toads.
 Darwin's Finches.
 Butterflies and Parasites.
 Evolution in the Lab.

C. POST ACTIVITy
Class, let’s have an activity to see if you really
learned about our topic. The students will participate in the game.

ACTIVITY:
Direction: Divide the class into 2 groups. I have
here set of words with me from our discussion.
One person from the group will spell out the
word to their group. The group to get the
highest points is the winner.

V. EVALUATION
A. QUESTIONS
Direction: Circle the correct answer.

VI. ASSIGNMENT
A. FOLLOW UP
In a long bond paper draw/cut/print
pictures showing biodiversity and
evolution. The students brings the activity on their
home.
B. FOR THE NEXT TOPIC
Do a research on how Evolution
happens.
