Lesson Plan Integrating Biodiversity in Science Socio Scientific Issue based I Learning Objectives A. Science Objective: (contextualization) 1. Identify the human activities that destroy the cycle of an ecosystem 2. Enumerate ways of controlling/preventing harmful effects of human activities to the environment. 3. Participate in campaigns and activities for improving/managing ones environment. B. Biodiversity Objectives (Contextualization) 1. Define biodiversity 2.

II Subject Matter: (De contextualization) A. Humans in the Ecosystem B. Biodiversity C. Value Focus: Collaboration and collaborative effort toward accomplishing a given activity and love of nature D. References: >Science and Technology for the Modern World >Learning Guide on Biodiversity Materials: pictures, manila (mahjong) paper, marker pens, crayons, slides III Learning Activities: A.

a) b) c) d) e) Which picture show activities that disrupt the cycle of an ecosystem? Which picture show forest protection? What government policies/programs that fight abuses against nature? Which picture show water pollution Which picture show air pollution

D. Application (Re contextualization) Application: Make a poster-slogan about conservation of natural resources in a long bond paper and post it in the places where people usually passing, standing by or in the market. IV Evaluation Evaluate the output of the students using a scoring rubric (holistic) Scoring Rubric 4 Excellent such that the work satisfies all the following: a) relevance to the (theme) topic b) neatness c) promptness in submission of work d) creativity 3 Very Satisfactory satisfies four of the following: a) relevance to the (theme) topic b) neatness c) promptness in submission of work d) creativity 2 Satisfactory satisfies three of the following: a) relevance to the (theme) topic b) neatness c) promptness in submission of work d) creativity 1 Needs Improvement a) relevance to the (theme) topic b) neatness c) promptness in submission of work d) creativity Target Assignment: We will coordinate to our local government unit to ask for financial assistance to conduct symposium in one of our villages about the loss of biodiversity in our farmland which might trigger a low productivity of food crops. In the next session we will decide when, how much, who lead, on this activity (this is only 4 hours affairs usually in the afternoon).
