B. Review (this will take 5 mins)

Before we proceed to our lesson, Ma’am bacteria and protozoa.

let’s have a review about
unicellular organism. Can you give
me an example of a unicellular
organism?
Ma’am, unicellular algae and
Very good, what else? unicellular fungi or yeasts.

Ma’am because they are single-celled

Yes. That’s correct! And why are organism. From the root word “uni”
they called unicellular organism? which means one or single.
 Very good. These unicellular
organisms are single-celled and
also called prokaryotes. Now, do Ma’am Bacteria!
you have any idea if what is the
smallest type of unicellular
organism?

You’re right!

C. Motivation (this will take 10 mins)

Class, I have here a picture which

shows different words that are (students choose a word and explain)
related to bacteria. I want you to
choose one word and use it to
describe or define bacteria.

(show picture)

D. Developmental Activities
(this will take 20 mins)

Okay class, since we already

describe and define bacteria; let us
now study the different shapes of

carefully and tell me the shape of
each bacterium. (show picture)
Ma’am the bacterium on the center

has a rod shape.

Ma’am it is a spiral shaped bacterium.

Correct. And the last one?

Yes. Very good. These are the

three basic shapes; rod shaped
called bacilli, round shaped called
“cocci” and the spiral shaped also
called “spirillum”. Some exist as
single cells, others are clustered
together.
Yes ma’am!
Do you think bacteria are alive?
Ma’am because the bacteria can

reproduce.

Ma’am because they eat.

You’re right. Very good! What else
can make you think that a
bacterium is alive?

Ma’am because the bacteria can

Yes. What else?
move.
 Ma’am they use their flagella to move.
Very good. What do they use to
move?

Yes. Most motile bacteria move by

the use of flagella There are helical
bacteria which have a specialized
internal structure known as the
axial filament which is responsible
for rotation of the cell in a spiral
fashion and consequent
locomotion and others are gliding

on how bacteria reproduce, what is
it? Ma’am some make their own food
from sunlight, like the photosynthetic
bacteria.
You’re right! Now, what do you
think do they eat? Ma’am some are scavengers like the
bacteria in our stomach which eat
what we eat.
Yes. Another?
Ma’am some bacteria eat other
bacteria which are also called
pathogens.
Correct! What else?

Ma’am bacteria that make us sick.

Very good! So what are Ma’am they produce poisons that

And how do they make you sick? Ma’am through direct contact with
people who are sick.

Yes ma’am. For example, you could

contact with equipment that has
been touched by an ill person.
Is it also possible that you get
infected through indirect contact?
How?
Ma’am some pathogenic bacteria rely

 mosquitoes, fleas, lice or ticks to

No ma’am.

foods like cheese for fermentation.
