Performance
Task:
The students are
asked to form a
team and conduct
 a study about the
ways that human
should minimize
in order to protect
our environment.
They are asked to
conduct a survey
in a concerned
barangay and
gather data and
related
information about
the suggested
ways on how to
minimize human
impact on the
environment.

SUBJECT: SCIENCE 8

UNIT TOPIC:Structures and Functions: Focus on the Digestive System Heredity: Inheritance and Variation of Traits: Biodiversity: Ecosystems

UNIT DESIGNER: Catherine Claire Anito and Michille Ann Equia

CONTENT STANDARD: The l earners should be able to… explain ingestion, absorption, assimilation, and excretion;explain how diseases of the digestive system are
prevented, detected, and treated;identify healthful practices that affect the digestive system;compare mitosis and meiosis, and their role in the cell-division cycle;explain the
significance of meiosis in maintaining the chromosome number;predict phenotypic expressions of traits following simple patterns of inheritance;explain the concept of a
species;classify organisms using the hierarchical taxonomic system;explain the advantage of high biodiversity in maintaining the stability of an ecosystem;describe the transfer of
energy through the trophic levels;analyze the roles of organisms in the cycling of materials;explain how materials cycle in an ecosystem; and suggest ways to minimize human
impact on the environment.

PERFORMANCE STANDARD: The learners should be able to:present an analysis of the data gathered on diseases resulting from nutrient deficiency;report on the
importance of variation in plant and animal breeding;report (e.g., through a travelogue) on the activities that communities engage in to protect and conserve endangered and
economically important species;make a poster comparing food choices based on the trophic levels.
