A. Preparatory Activities
a. Prayer
Everybody, please stand. May I
request Annabel to lead the prayer? Yes, Ma’am.
Everyone let us pray.

Good morning, class! Good morning, Ma’am!

Good morning, classmates!
Mabuhay!

You may now take your seats. Thank you, Ma’am.

How are you today? We’re great!
That’s good to know.

b. Checking of Attendance
I will check your attendance
according to your seat plan.

c. Checking of
Assignment
Please pass your assignments.

d. Setting of Standards
Before we will start our
lesson this morning, and to
have a productive discussion,
please listen and pay
attention to our discussion.
Do not do unnecessary
actions that can disturb your
classmate or the whole class
and cooperate to group
activities. Are we clear? Yes, Ma’am!

Very good!

A. Reviewing Previous A. Review

Lesson or Presenting
the New Lesson What was our topic last meeting?
Yea, Kurth? Mollusks and Echinoderms,
Ma’am!

Yes, you are right, Kurth!

Thank you.

What are the three classes of

mollusks?
Yes, Maybe? We have gastropods, bivalves
and cephalopods, Ma’am.

Very good!

How can we differentiate

gastropods, bivalves and
cephalopods to each other?
Yes, Magdalino? Gastropods are univalves
having only one shell. Bivalves
are mollusks with two shells
 attached to each other. And,
cephalopods has internal and
external skeleton, and some are
shell-less, Ma’am.
Very good, Magdalino! Please take
your seat.

What are the examples of

echinoderms?
Yes, Judy Ann? We have sea stars, sea urchins
and sea cucumbers, Ma’am.

Exactly, Judy Ann!

Any clarifications about our previous

topic? None, Ma’am.

B. Motivation
Before we start our new lesson this
morning, let us have an activity
entitled 4-PICS-1-WORD.
Please proceed now to your
respective groups and form your
chairs into a circle in 5, 4, 3, 2, and
1.

Are you now with your groupmates? Yes, Ma’am.

Now, I will be distributing an

envelope to each group. Inside the
envelope are a chart with 4 pictures,
scotch tape and scissors and cut
letters. The pictures in the chart are
the hint to the one word answer.
Paste the cut letters in the provided
boxes in the chart to form a word.
The first group to tack on the board
and also get the correct answer will
have a 5 points on their tally sheet.
The remaining groups will still have a
chance to get a points on the next
group activities.
Am I clear? Yes, Ma’am!

ARTHROPODS
In 3, 2 and 1. Start! (Group Activity)

And the answer is in the 4-pics-1-

word is?
Yes, Group 2? ARTHROPODS

Very good! You get a 5 points for

being the first group to answer in our
todays’ activity.

B. Establishing the This morning, our topic will be about

objectives.
A. identify the different
groups and
characteristics of
arthropods;
B. explain the process of
molting in arthropods;
and
C. describe the importance
of insects in propagation
of plant species.

C. Presenting Examples Unlocking of Difficulties

/Instances of the New
Lesson Before we proceed to our discussion
this morning, let us first define the
unfamiliar words that we’re going to
meet along in our discussion. Please
read.
Jointed – a point where two
bones meet in the body
Exoskeleton – an external
supportive covering of an animal
Chitin – a polysaccharide that
forms part of the hard outer
covering especially of insects,
arachnids, and crustaceans
Molting – to lose a covering and
replace it with new growth in the
same place
Appendages – a body part that
is connected to the main part of
the body
Mandible – a part of an insect’s
mouth that looks like a jaw and
is often used for biting things
Book lungs – a saccular
breathing organ in many
arachnids
Venom – poison that is
produced by an animal and
used to kill or injure another
animal usually through biting or
stinging
D. Discussing New
Concepts and This time, let us have another group
Practicing New Skills #1 activity entitled I LOVE
ARTHROPODS. I will be distributing
an envelope that has a handout,
pictures, marker, scotch tape and
scissor and, a manila paper inside.
Each group are given 5 minutes to
discuss within their group the
different group and the general
characteristics of arthropods
(Phylum Arthropoda) and write on
the manila paper the important
details that you have discussed in
your group. Afterwards, I will be the
one to choose a group
representative for the presentation of
your groups’ output with these
criteria:
 Time management – 5 pts.
Content – 10 pts.
Presentation – 10 pts.
Cooperation – 5 pts.
Total 30 pts.

We also have a MINUS POINT

Time’s up!
Please tack on the board your
groups’ output now.

E. Discussing New
Concepts and Let us have the first group first.
Practicing New Skills #2 Keith, you’ll present your groups
output.
Animals in Phylum Arthropoda
or the arthropods have a jointed
legs. The group is considered
the most successful of all animal
phyla as they represent in
almost all types of habitats.
There are arthropods that walk
or crawl, some can fly, while the
other swims in salty and
freshwaters.
Arthropods have an
exoskeleton. This is made of
chitin and varies from thin and
flexible to thick and hard
exoskeletons. These animals
grow a new skeleton many
times in their life to give way to
growth, specifically, increase in
size through the process of
molting.
Arthropods are grouped based
on the type of exoskeleton, the
number of body sections and
the kind of appendages like
mouthparts present.
Appendages may be used for
avoiding predators, getting food,
Thank you, Keith! walking or swimming.
Let us give 5 claps to Keith and to
the first group.
(5 claps)
Why do arthropods considered as
the most successful of all animal
phyla?
Yes, Bernadeth?
That is because arthropods
represent in almost all types of
habitats, Ma’am! There are
arthropods that walk or crawl,

as their group representative.

Crustaceans form one group of

arthropods which includes water
fleas, crabs, shrimps, lobsters
and barnacles. They have hard
exoskeletons and have
mandible to bite and grind food.
All crustaceans live in water with
the exception of the pill bug.
You see it in the soil as the
small creature that rolls into a
tiny ball when disturbed. Aquatic
cructaceans have gills for
breathing. Many crustaceans

How do aquatic crustaceans

breathe? (5 claps)
Yes, Virginia?

Very good, Virginia! Next, let us Aquatic cructaceans have gills

Arachnids have two body

sections, most with four pair of
legs and mouthparts called
chelicerae and pedipalps. They
use book lungs to respire.
Spiders with thin and flexible
exoskeleton are the largest
members of the group. Mites
and ticks are parasitic
arachnids. They cause itching to
some mammals including
humans. Scorpions have a
poisonous sting. The horseshoe
crab, a close relative of

What do arachnids use for their

respiration? (5 claps)
Yes, Rey?

Very good, Rey! Now, let’s have

Kearl for the fourth group. They use their book lungs,
Ma’am!

Millipedes and centipedes, close

relatives of insects have long,
wormlike segmented bodies.
They have a pair of antenna and
each segment bear a pair of or
two legs. These animals live in
 the soil, under rocks or rotting
logs and leaves. Millipedes have
two pairs of legs per segment
and roll up when disturbed.
They feed on decaying matter.
Centipedes have a pair of legs
in a segment. They have

arthropods and small animals.
What does millipedes feed on?
Yes, Charice? (5 claps)

You are right, Charice! Now, let us They feed on decaying matter,
have the last group with Glemar as Ma’am!
their group representative.

Insects form the largest group

among arthropods. They have
three body sections, three pairs
of legs, and a pair of antenna
and one to two pairs of wings.
Insects are more adapted for
flying and have tracheal tubes
for respiration. They are present
in great numbers in all kinds of
environments except in marine
waters. Exoskeleton of insects
as that of a fly is thin. Insects
are also successful animals
because they reproduce rapidly.
Thank you, Glemar and to the rest of Dragonflies, grasshoppers,
