A. Content standard: The learners should demonstrate an understanding of the one-way flow
of energy and cycling of materials in an ecosystem.
B. Performance standard: The learners should be able to make a poster comparing food
choices based on the trophic levels.
C. Learning Competencies: The learners should be able to describe the transfer of energy
through the trophic levels.
I. LEARNING OBJECTIVES
At the end of 60-minute session, 75% of the students should be able to achieve 75% proficiency to be
able to:
a. Identify the components of a food chain;
b. Determine the process of energy transfer in trophic levels;
c. Construct their own food chain;
d. Differentiate food chain from food web; and
e. Analyze the importance of every organism in the food chain and food web.
f. The learners should be able to describe the transfer of energy through the trophic levels;
g. The students perform skit about food chain and food web.
Before you take your seats, please arrange your chairs The students arrange their chairs and pick up the
and pick up the pieces of papers around you. pieces of papers.
Who are absent todays? The class secretary reports the day’s attendance
What did you observe in the game we played? There is a series of organisms in the game, which
are dependent on the next by being a food
source.
Can anyone elaborate that? The grass is a food source for rabbits. Snakes eat
rabbits and snakes are eaten by hawks.
Very good.
LESSON PROPER
Our lesson for today will be about food chain. To easily
remember what food chain is, let us listen to a short Who eats what, what eats who?
song and analyze its lyrics. Who eats me, and what eats you?
I got some news, it’s not a game.
We’re all just links in the food chain!
(We’re all just links in the food chain)
Based on the game earlier and the song we listened to, Food chain is the series of organism all eating the
how can we define food chain? organisms before them.
Very good.
Food chain is the sequence of organisms all related to
one another as prey and predator, or what we call food
source. Hence, the name.
Very good! All plants are producers. What do we mean Producers are autotrophic organisms. They can
by producers? make or produce their own food using sunlight or
chemicals.
Very good. Producers are being eaten by consumers, Herbivores feed directly on plants,
Carnivores feed on meat of other animals
where in the chemical energy is being passed to every
Omnivores feed on both plants and meat of
consumer. There are different types of consumers based animals.
in their food source. What are they?
Do you understand?
Yes ma’am
I will grade you according to the following criteria:
Cooperation of the group ---5 pts
Voice of the presenter -------5 pts
Eye contact --------5 pts
Gestures -------5 pts
For the total of 20 points.
GENERALIZATION
What is food chain? A food chain is the sequence of feeding
relationships of organisms.
What are the components of a food chain? Producers, usually plants which can make their
own food.
Consumers which pass on the energy.
Decomposers which break down materials to be
used by other producers.
COLUMN A COLUMN B
1. food chain a. autotrophic organisms
2. food web b. consumer that eats plants and meat
3. omnivore c. series of feeding relationships of organisms
4. producers d. consumer that feeds on plants only
5. decomposers e. break down organic materials
f. complex interlocking feeding relationships of
organisms
V. ASSIGNMENT

2. Draw and explain the following ecological pyramids.
a. Pyramid of numbers
b. Pyramid of biomass
c. Pyramid of productivity
