GLOBAL RECIPROCAL COLLEGES
A Detailed Lesson Plan in Science

Grade 5
Prepared by: Villanueva, Lauren may O.
Section: Beed-203
Parts of the Lesson Contents and Activities

I. Learning Objectives At the end of the lesson, the pupils are expected to:
a. Identify the effects of human activities and the cycles in an ecosystem.
b. Illustrate the cycle in an ecosystem
c. Give importance to the ecosystem

II. Subject Matter Human Activities and the Cycles in an Ecosystem
Skills: Observing, identifying, describing, enumerating
Science Concept: The cycles of ecosystem may be disrupted by natural disasters such as
typhoon, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and by human activities such as uncontroled cutting
of trss, kaingin, combustion of fossil fuels, and throwing of garbage in the river.
Instructional Materials Pictures, chart

III. Learning Activities A. Preliminaries
1. Prayer
2. Greetings
3. Checking of attendance
4. Classroom Inspection
Preparatory Activities T- The atmosphere normally has about 21% oxygen and 0.03% carbon dioxide. The continuous
exchange of these gases between green plants and animals maintains the oxygen-carbon
dioxide level. Unfortunately, man’s destructive activities disrupt this balance.
Class, why do you think that man’s destructive activities disrupt this balance? (The teacher will
call one pupil)
(The pupil will answer)

T- Very Good! So class, if trees and another green plant become scarce in an ecosystem , the
supply of oxygen is reduced. As a result, the amount of CO2 in the air increases, and the O2
and CO2 is disrupted.
Class, what do you think will happen to animals And human if the amount of air is reduced?
P- Many animals and humans will die.
T- Very good! Many animals and humans may die due to the shortage of the amount of oxygen
in the air. (Show some pictures about Oxygen-Carbon Cycle)
In the Oxygen-Carbon Cycle, green plants Use the carbon dioxide in the air and it also dissolve
in the oceans and seas.
Marine plants take in carbon dioxide to manufacture food. These plants are the energy source
of marine animals. The continuity of the cycle depends on the materials and energy available in
the system. Class, what do you think is the cause of disruption?
S- Ma’am. Because of the natural disaster and human activities.
T- Very good. Can you give me examples of natural calamities? (Call 3 pupils)
P- - Typhoon
- Earthquakes
- Volcanic Eruptions
T- (Show pictures of the natural disasters.)
Typhoon, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions can destroy an ecosystem.
What about human activities that disrupt The cycles in ecosystem? (Call some pupils)
P- - Throwing of garbage in the river

- Cutting of trees
- Kaingin
- Spraying of insecticides
- Combustion of fossils
T- Very good! (Post the picture of “Throwing of Garbage”) Throwing garbage can
destroy the ecosystem. The river’s natural capacity to break the material slows down.
As a result, the once clear pond becomes dirty due to the amount of materials
dumped in it.
T- The cutting down of trees has resulted in the rapid denudation of our forest. Without trees
there is nothing to absorb excess amount of Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere which results to
the abnormal warming of the earth.
The next human activity is “Pagkakaingin”. Why do you think pagkakaingin destroys the
ecosystem?
(The teacher will call pupils)

P- The birds and other living organisms will be deprived of natural habitat.
T- Yes. Kaingin brings harmful effects to our ecosystem. Kaingin is a way of clearing a forest
area and convert it into an agricultural lands, or housing projects to accommodate the growing
population. Therefore, the birds and other wild animals will be deprived of natural habitat.
Another example is the use of insecticides
Class, why do you think the use of insecticides Also destroys the ecosystem?
P- It pollutes the land

T- Right. The use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and pollutes the soil. Also, these chemicals
harm plants and is also possible to harm humans and animals once taken.
Developmental Activities How can you help the ecosystem?
Put in the box the best picture that can help our ecosystem
Generalization T- Children can you give some examples of natural disasters
P- Teacher typhoon
T- Very good
Another one?
P- Teacher earthquake
T- Very good
The cycles of ecosystem may be disrupted by natural disasters such as typhoon, earthquakes,
volcanic eruptions and by human activities such as uncontrolled cutting of trees, kaingin,
combustion of fossil fuels, and throwing of garbage in the river.
Application Let us have another exercise.

Arrange the jumbled letters
1. TUNARAL SASDITERS – NATURAL DISASTERS

2. MANHU TIACVIESTI – HUMAN ACTIVITIES
3. OEC TESYSM- ECO SYSTEM
4. PHTYOON- TYPHOON
5. TIPOLLNUO- POLLUTION
IV. Assessment TRUE OR FALSE.
1. Typhoon is a natural disaster. (True)
2. Throwing garbage can destroy the ecosystem. (True)
3. Kaingin is a way of clearing a forest area and convert it into an agricultural lands, or
housing projects to accommodate the growing population. (True)
4. The birds and other living organisms will be deprived of natural habitat is not a
harmful effect of pagkakaingin. (False)
5. Without trees there is nothing to absorb excess amount of Carbon Dioxide in the
atmosphere which results to the abnormal warming of the earth. (True)
V. Assignment ON YOUR NOTEBOOK:
List down fast growing trees that should be planted to increase forest cover.
