    Shyrene M. Gumban
    This document outlines a detailed lesson plan about food chains for an 8th grade science class. The objectives are for students to define key terms like producers and consumers, distinguish between them, construct a food chain, and understand the importance of food chains. Examples of activities include grouping students to identify terms and present sample food chains. Key concepts covered are the roles of the sun, plants, primary and secondary consumers, decomposers, and the transfer of energy between each link.

    Detailed Lesson Plan in Science Grade 8

    I. OBJECTIVES

    At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:

    A. define food chain


    B. distinguish between producers and consumers
    C. construct a food chain
    D. cite the importance of food chain in the biotic community

    II. SUBJECT MATTER

    A. Topic: Food chain


    B. References: Learner’s Module Grade 8 (page 273- 275)

    Biology: The Web of Life by Scott Foresman and Addison


    Wesley (pages8899-900)

    C. Materials: Printed Materials, cartolina, illustration board, chalk,

    III. LEARNING PROCEDURES

    Teacher’s Activity Teacher’s Activity


    A. Motivation

    (The teacher will divide the class into six


    groups. Each group will be given illustration
    board and chalk)

    Let’s imagine our classroom as a big android


    phone and we’ll be playing 4pics 1 word! As I
    post the puzzle pictures on the board, the
    group will brainstorm for one minute. As I say
    GO, the group leader shall write the group’s
    answer on the illustration board provided to
    you. Show your answer as I say RAISE
    YOUR ILLUSTRATION BOARD.
    Every correct answer worth’s five coins on
    the scoreboard.

    Are you ready?

    B. Presentation

    Take a look at the words that we are able to


    guess in our game. Are you familiar with
    these words? Had you encountered them in
    your previous grades? Yes ma’am.
    Could you think of a topic where these words
    are associated with? Food chain.
    Then what do you think is the focus of our
    topic for today? Food chain.
    C. Lesson proper

    1.Pre-activity:

    What do you know about food chain? Food chain is a model of how organisms
    obtain energy in an ecosystem.
    Food chain shows the feeding pattern of
    organisms in a community.
    For you to learn more about food chain, let us
    perform “Road chain to Foodchaintandia”

    2.Activity Proper

    For clearer and better understanding, I will


    divide the class into 3 groups. The Mendel’s
    group (1), Darwin’s group (2), and the
    Einstein’s group (3)
    I have here the instructions and materials you
    needed to finish the task.
    Time frame: 5 – 10 minutes.

     Based on students prior knowledge of


    food chain, complete the food chain by
    filling out each cabins with the picture
    of organism starting from the main
    source of energy
     The students are asked to paste the
    name strips (above the picture) on
    their corresponding cabins
     The group will clap their hands to
    signal that they are finished.
     Each group will post and present their
    work.
     Each correct picture and name worth’s
    one point.

    3. Post-activity
    (each representative will present the
    correct arrangement of their food chain)

    Sun grass mouse snake hawk

    Sun rice grasshopper frog snake

    Sun corn worm chicken human


    Let us take a look at your work class.

    Consider the second food chain, what do you


    think will happen when there is an
    overpopulation of snake; (say in a rice field
    there are 20 snakes and only 5 frogs)? All frogs will be eaten by the snakes.

    If that is the case, what will happen to the


    number of grasshopper in the field? Grasshopper will increase in number.

    What is the effect of this increase in


    grasshopper population to rice? Rice yield will decrease.
    What is being transferred for the producer to
    first order, second order and third order
    consumers? Energy.

    Which is the ultimate source of energy? Sun.

    Which one is the producer? What is its role in


    a food chain? Plant. It converts radiant energy to food.

    Plants are called autotroph because they can


    produce their own food via photosynthesis.

    In the food chain which are considered the


    first order consumer? All organisms who eat plant directly are
    the first order consumers. These are the
    mouse, grasshopper and locust

    How about the second order consumers? All organisms who eat the first order
    consumer are the second order
    consumers. These are snake, frog and
    chicken.
    Where can we classify the hawk, snake and
    human? Third order consumers.

    Animals for example are called heterotrophs.

    What happens when an organism dies? Bacteria will decompose or break down
    the unused dead material and turn them
    into nutrients in the soil which plants
    used to grow.
    D. Application

    Imagine the world when bacteria do not act on


    dead organisms, do you think there would still
    be producers? No, because bacteria/decomposers act
    on dead organisms and change these to
    simple nutrients which plants use again.

    Without producers, will consumers stay alive? Without bacteria/decomposers, nutrients


    needed by producers will not be
    available as a result, producers cannot
    stay alive and without producers there
    will be no food for consumers.
    E. Generalization

    Let’s have a recap or sum up the topic!

    What does food chain is all about? Food chain is a model of how organisms
    obtain energy in an ecosystem.
    Food chain shows the feeding pattern of
    organisms in a community.
    Who among you could give the correct flow
    of a food chain? Food chain starts with the ultimate
    source of energy which is the sun. Plants
    utilize this radiant energy to
    manufacture their own food through
    photosynthesis. First order consumer
    then eats these plants. Consequently,
    First order consumer are eaten by
    second order consumer, lastly second
    order consumer are eaten by third order
    consumer. The chain ends with the
    decomposers.

    IV. EVALUATION

    V.ASSIGNMENT

    A. Follow up:

    Essay test! (Rubrics in grading student’s essay test was provided on the next page)

    1. Explain what would happen if there are more consumers than producers in a biotic

    2. Illustrate the Oxygen-Carbon dioxide cycle in a whole sheet of pad paper.
