Group Game: Form two groups with 5 members. Each group will identify if the living
things written on the board are plants or animals. Put a ( / ) if that is a plant and an (X)
if that is an animal. The group who answers all the items correctly in a faster way will
win the game.
________1. Butterfly
________2. Snake plant
________3. Grass
________4. Grasshopper

4. Motivation:
Setting up Group Standards while Working
(Collaborative and Cooperative Learning)
House Rules/Standards/Guidelines:
(Follow the mnemonic/memory device.)
G- Give thoughtful feedback
R- Respect others & their thoughts
O- On task all the time
U- Use soft voices
P- Participate actively
S- Stay with your group
Guessing Game: Form four groups with seven members. Each group will arrange
the picture puzzle and identify what kind of environment is shown in each picture. Let
each group present their output in front after 2 minutes.
Relate the pupils’ outputs to the activity that they will be doing for the day.
B. EXPLORATION
a. Pre-Activity
1. Group the class into four with seven members. Each group uses Group Activity
Hats for Collaborative and Cooperative Learning. The members of each
group are composed of leader, assistant leader, writer, timer, discipliner,
reporter and reader. After the grouping the pupils, the teacher will set of the
standards to be followed and distribute the materials and the activity sheets
needed by each group.
Setting House Rules/Standards/Guidelines:

Rubrics in Participation/Group Activities:
POINTS INDICATORS
5 -Shows eagerness and cooperation to do the
task, participate actively, do great help to the group
4 -Shows eagerness and cooperation to do the
task, good followers only
3 -Participated but late, with teacher’s supervision
2 -Activity was done but does not show eagerness
to participate or cooperate
1 -No interest in participating the activities
Special Reminders to pupils before doing the activity:

1. Be polite by listening attentively with each other during group activity.
2. Group planning and sharing is 10 minutes only while group presentation is 2
minutes or less.
b. Activity Proper
Let each group perform the activity following the standards. (See attached
Activity Sheet). The teacher will supervise the group work. (USING GROUP
ACTIVITY HATS)
(The pupils will go an educational field trip. They will visit the Science Garden. The
answers from the activity can be seen and found in the trip)
C. EXPLANATION
c. Post- Activity Discussion
Allow each group reporter to report their findings /observations about the activity
performed. The teacher will check the groups’ outputs/responses and will clarify
misconceptions when needed.
Values Integration: How do you feel about the activity?

How will you take care of the ecosystem? How will you show concern to
our environment?
Using the video presentation, the teacher tells additional background of

Information about the ecosystem (other examples aside from garden)
D. ELABORATION
a. Generalization:
Answer: What is an ecosystem?
What are the examples of ecosystem?
What are the living (biotic) and non-living (abiotic) components of these
ecosystems?
b. Application
USING DIFFERENTIATED INSTRUCTION
(Setting House Rules/Standards/Guidelines in Participation for Group Activities)
Form four groups with seven members. Each group uses Activity Hats for
Collaborative and Cooperative Learning. Present the output after five minutes.
Group I - Compose a poem about ecosystem and how to take care of it
Group II - Draw a sample ecosystem
Group III - Create a song about ecosystem
Group IV - Make hugot/pick-up lines about taking care of ecosystem
E. EVALUATION:
Direction: Read the statement carefully. Choose the letter of the correct answer.
_____1. What is an environment where both living (biotic) and non-living (abiotic)
things exist and interact with one another?
A. organism C. ecosystem

*Checking of answer sheets, monitoring the scores and submission of papers

for recording is done right away after the test to interpret the result of the
learners’ progress.
