B. Performance The learners should be able to recognize and practice proper handling of
Standards keeping animals and plants healthy.

II. SUBJECT MATTER

A. Topic: Animals and Plants: Parts, Functions and Importance To Humans
B. Science Ideas The physical environment where we live is non-living the waters, land
and air. An organism is a complete, individual living thing. They do
things to maintain life which called life processes.
Life Process or Characteristics of Living Things
 Growing or increasing in size according to its kind
 Responding or reacting to stimuli /surroundings
 Producing more individuals of their own kind or reproduction
 Obtaining energy from food, air and other sources
 Releasing wastes surrounding
Animals have parts that enable them to live in various places. The
animals around us provide services for us to survive. Food,
transportation, medicine, clothes recreation, even protection are
provided to us..
The common plants that we see around us are seed plants. These plants
have roots, stems, leaves, fruits and seeds. Plants provide us food,
medicine, materials for clothing, shelter, boat, furniture, resin, dyes and
many more. Plants protect the environment from erosion by providing
cover to the ground.

C. Science Processes Observing, identifying, describing

D. Value Focus Proper care of plants and animals
E. Materials Video presentation showing the importance of animals to us and why do
we need plants in our life, puzzle pieces of the different animals and

III. LEARNING ACTIVITIES

A. Engage
1. Drill Unscramble the words below. After identifying them, say best word to
describe it and where you can see it.

SPLTAN STOOR DESSE

SLAMANI TEMS FILE
SHUNMA SURIFT MENTORVINNE
2. Review Four Pics One Word
Four pictures will be flashed on the screen and the learners will guess the
mystery word by studying how are they related.

B. Explore
IV. 1. Motivation What is your favourite plant/animal? How do you take care of them? Do
you know what will happen to know if they are forgotten and ignored?

2. Presentation Now watch the video and find out what are the importance of animals to
us and why do we need plants.

3. Pre- Activity Divide the class into 5 groups. Remind them the standards in performing
a group activity. Let them recall the acronym of GROUPS.
Get along
Respect others
On task
Use quiet voices
Participate
Stay in your group
4. Activity Proper Distribute the envelope containing the puzzle pieces. Tell the class to
arrange the puzzle pieces so that they can form an image. Identify what
is the image and state its function/importance in our everyday lives.
Then, accomplish the worksheet. Assign one group member to be the
reporter/presenter.
*see attached worksheet.
C. Explain
1. Group Reporting After all groups have done performing the activity, let them post their
work on the board. Ask one volunteer from the class to describe the
image and its function/importance in our daily lives.
2. Discussion Based on the activity 1, what are the common parts of the domesticated
animals like a dog and its characteristics that enable them to live on
land?
1. Head- there is eyes, ears, nose and mouth. It is connected
to the body by a neck.
2. Body- it is covered by a hair. The end of the body has a
tail. The male external reproductive parts are found in the
belly area.
3. Legs- Attached to the body are two front legs and two
hind legs for movement. The feet have toes that are
covered by thick horn.
What are the common parts of the fish and its characteristics that enable
them to live on water?
1. Head- in the head are the eyes, mouth, nostrils and gill cover.
2. Body and tail- the body may or may not be covered by scales.
The fins are found in the upper side and lower side of the
body, and at the tail. Its slender body and fins enable the fish
too swim.
Based on the activity 2, what are the parts of the plants?
Roots- it anchor the plants to the ground. These also absorb water and
minerals from the soil. Plants either have taproot system or a fibrous root
system.
1. Stems- it supports the leaves, flowers and fruits. These also
transport food, minerals and water to other parts of the plant.
Some stems are woody while others are herbaceous or soft.
2. Leaves- it is generally green, expanded and attached to a stem by
a petiole. A simple leaf has stalk, base, margin and tip. It has
veins that may run parallel to the midrib or netted. Leaves have
different shapes, size and arrangement on the stem and may have
other colours such as violet, yellow, red, pink and orange. The
main function of the leaf is to produce food, the process is known
as photosynthesis.
3. Flowers- are mainly for plant reproduction and attached to the
stem by pedicel. The outermost part is sepal while the second
 layer is the petals and the reproductive parts of the flower are the
stamen (male) and the pistil(female).
4. Fruits- it comes from the flowers. Some are fleshy or dry.
5. Seeds- are attached inside the middle layer of the fruit. These
germinate to produce new plants.

Take Note: the flowers, fruits and seeds are characteristic features of
flowering plants.

D. Elaborate
1. Generalization What have you learned today? Make a paragraph about it.
2. Application Ask:
What do you think will happen if we will continue to use the animals
and plants around us without taking care of them?
Do you think they will continue to feed or help us if we continue to
benefit ourselves without us helping them to be better/grow?
How will you show your care and gratitude for them?
