and transferring it to all parts of the body while absorbing carbon dioxide from the body and
releasing it into the air.

III. ESSAY

Directions: Read and understand the passage carefully. Write an essay on the space provided in
answer to the given question below. Your essay will be graded based on the rubrics presented. (5
points )

“COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 or the coronavirus. It directly

affects our respiratory and circulatory systems.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), most people infected with the
COVID-19 virus will experience mild to moderate respiratory illness, and others have no
symptoms at all. In some cases, however, COVID-19 can lead to respiratory failure, lasting lungs
and heart muscle damage, nervous system problems, kidney failure or death.
If that is the case, how can you make your respiratory and circulatory systems healthy to
prevent being infected by the virus?”

WEEK 3 . SPECIES EXTINCTION

PERFORMANCE TASK NO. 1 .Conduct an advocacy campaign through a poster-slogan

Instructions/Situation:
In 2020, deaths due to ischemic heart diseases were the leading cause of death with 99.7
thousand cases or 17.3 percent of the total deaths in the country. This was an increase of about 2.3
percent from the 97.5 thousand deaths or 15.7% of the total deaths in 2019. This according to the
Philippine Statistics Authority.
Because of people’s lifestyle today, especially the youths, they are more prone to this kind of
diseases. As Grade 9 students, you are tasked to conduct an advocacy campaign through a poster-
slogan on effective ways of taking care of your heart and practice healthy eating habits that support
active lifestyle most especially today that our country is facing a healthcare crisis.

SCIENCE 9 QUARTER 1 3
 Product:
You are expected to create a Poster-Slogan which illustrates and fosters healthy eating habits to
protect your circulatory system particularly your heart to support an active lifestyle. Moreover, your
Poster-Slogan should have argumentative statement that uses conditionals.

For MDL
- In accomplishing your product, you shall use oslo paper/ bond paper, drawing and coloring
materials, and other resources in accomplishing your product.
For ODL
- You shall create Poster-Slogan using MS Word, MS PowerPoint, MS Publisher, Canva, or
any other application that you know. After creating an Infographic, you are expected to pass
your output via e-mail, messenger, or anywhere your teachers asked you to do so.

WEEK 4 . PHOTOSYNTHESIS

Performance Task No. 2 . Make a comic strip .

Instruction/Situation:
Photosynthesis is one of the important biological reactions in the environment. In this
process, plants and some bacteria used the energy of sunlight to create their own food. Likewise, it
produces oxygen that sustains life on earth. Without photosynthesis there would be little to no
oxygen on the planet.
In relation to this, supposing you are an illustrator in a magazine company. Your next
assignment is to make an educational material in a form of a comic strip which could be
distributed to the different public schools in the whole province of Rizal, to provide evidence that
plants can manufacture their own food through the process of photosynthesis.
