A Detailed Lesson Plan in Science V (Classification of Vertebrates)

I. OBJECTIVES General 1. Science V aims at improving the students' performance of simple experiments about the human body, animals and plants, matter, electricity, simple machines, weather, earth science and solar system. 2. Unit II helps the students to different plants from animals and their advantages to the human existence. 3. The students will be able to appreciate and be concern on the animal and plant lives. Specific At the end of the lesson, the students are expected to: 1. Differentiate them according to their characteristics and features. 2. Arrange the animals according to their classes. 3. Appreciate the existence of these animals. II. SUBJECT MATTER Topic: Classifying Vertebrates Reference: Science and Me V by Efrain Abracia Materials: flash cards, visual aids III. LESSON PROPER Teacher's Activity A. Routine Activity a.1. Greetings a.2. Prayer "Good Morning Class" "First, let us pray" Students' Activity "Good Morning Ma'am" (one student will lead the prayer)

a.3.Classroom management

"Arrange your chair properly and (the students will sit properly) take your sit. How does a bright student sits?" "let us check the attendance (the teacher will call them one by one based on the class record)" "present (the student will raise his hand as called)"

a.4. Checking of attendance

a.5. Daily Health News

"So, who will have the news for today?" (the teacher will also comment on this)

(One student will read the news he provided and give his insight)

a.6. Review of the past "Did you still remember our last lesson lesson? Have you enjoyed it?" "Ok, as a review we will have a short group game, you can form your chairs into circle. The grouping will be according to your column, groups 1-5. Every group will receive two colored cards, green for vertebrates and blue for invertebrates, you just have to raise the appropriate color as I show you the flash card showing pictures of animals. When I say go, you will raise your answer." B. Motivation "These animals, after being grouped according to their backbones, they are then grouped according to their characteristics. On board, posted are different names of animals, you grouped them according to who you THINK goes together or belonging in the same, everyone is allowed to go to the board." "Ok class, these animals can be group in five classes: Fish 1. Fish are ectothermic, aquatic vertebrates. 2. Their skin is generally covered with scales. 3. Their limbs are modified into fins for swimming. 4. They breathe with gills. 5. They lay eggs that must be in water.

"yes ma'am" (the students will form their chairs and the game commends)

(the students will go to the board and put together those whom they think belongs to one family)

C. Presentation of the Lesson

(discussion and recitation)

Amphibians 1. Amphibians are ectothermic vertebrates. 2. They have three-chambered hearts. 3. They lack claws on their toes. Reptiles 1. Reptiles are ectothermic vertebrates. 2. Their skin has scales, but no hair or feathers. Birds 1. Birds are endothermic vertebrates. 2. Their skin is covered with feathers. 3. They have four-chambered hearts. Mammals 1. Mammals are endothermic vertebrates. 2. They have hair, which varies greatly among species. 3. Most have sudoriferus (sweat) glands. D. Activity Proper "Now that you already know the classes of vertebrates, I want you to form a group of 8-10 members and make a jingle regarding the five classes; you can use the tunes of some songs." "Each of the five classes leaves us some values we could live by. (the students will do the activity)

E. Application

1. Recognize the importance of fish in our diet and economy 2. Recognizing the characteristics of amphibious animals in order that we can fully understand how to care for and protect them. 3. Avoiding fear and developing interest in observing snakes and other reptiles but following safety measures to avoid harm. 4. Be kind to birds; protect them from harm instead of shooting or putting them on cages. 5. Thanking God for making us human being who can think and express different emotions as a mammal.

IV. EVALUATION Seatwork: Answer the following questions 1. What do we mean by cold blooded animals? Give 3 examples 2. What is the common characteristic of amphibians? 3. What do we call a group of fish? 4. What do we call the protein found on the coverings of reptiles? 5. What senses are birds good at? 6. What do we call the gland to produce mother's milk? 7. What part of the fish helps them move easily through water? 8. Why do amphibious animals called amphibians, meaning dual life? 9. How do fishes breathe? 10. Why do you think we have to classify animals? V. ASSIGNMENT Answer page 78 of your book Activity 4 How do vertebrates differ from one another? You need:

Several sheets of paper Pictures of vertebrates 1. Prepare an album containing several sheets 2. Draw or collect pictures of different vertebrates. 3. Group them into five as follows: Fish Birds Amphibians Mammals Reptiles 4. Paste the pictures into your album according to the group they belong to. 5. Prepare a chart like the one below. Kind of Vertebrate Fish Amphibian Reptile Bird Mammal Common Characteristics Examples
