To give us insight into today’s

lesson, we will watch this video.

Ma’am, the video is interesting.

It is very informative too. It

Thank you, Ern! From that, we can
define mammals as the vertebrate
animals that have a backbone, fur,
and not only those characteristics
we still have and that is? Next

based on the picture?

the given pictures and definition.
You only have 10 seconds to do
it.

Thank you, Paul. Okay, let’s start!

What do you think is the answer?

Yes, Mean?

Very good! It is the fur. Mammals

have the Fur. Must all mammals (Mean will raise her hand.)
have fur?
The answer for number 1, is Fur.

(The students will answer.)

No, Ma’am.

Yes, that is correct! Because just

like what is stated here.  It is one
of their defining biological
characteristics. However, there are
a few species with hair so reduced
by evolution that they appear to be
naked. Let’s proceed to the
second picture. What is the next
characteristic of mammals wants
to answer the third picture?

Ma’am, the answer to that

(which means its body temperature
is kept at the same level regardless
of the outside temperature). What
are the examples of Warm-
blooded mammals?

(The students will answer.)

Dogs, lions, cats, vultures, and
raccoons.
Great! Not only warm-blooded
animals include birds and
mammals. There are many birds
and mammals in the world, but not
nearly as many as there are
insects, fish, and reptiles.
Now, let’s proceed to the next
picture. What is the answer to
number 3?

(The students will answer.)

The answer is live birth, Ma’am.
Correct! Before they are born, they
develop inside the mother’s body
in a special organ called a?

Yes! How about number 4?

Uterus, Ma’am

(The students will answer.)

Mammary Gland Ma’am.

Exactly! It produces milk;

structurally, they are modified
sweat glands. Located in the breast
overlying the pectoralis major
muscles, are present in both sexes,
but usually are functional only in
the female.

Thank you, Paul. That is correct.

Let us discuss Placental mammals
as it is one of the types of
mammals.
.
Brenan, kindly read the slide.
(Brenan will read the slide.)

Thank you, Brenan! A placental
mammal develops inside its
mother's body until its body
systems can function on their own.
The name of this group comes
from the placenta, an organ in
pregnant female mammals that
passes materials between the
mother and the developing baby. (The students will answer.)
Food and oxygen, carried by whales, elephants, shrews,
blood, pass from the mother to the humans, and armadillos
baby through the placenta. Wastes
pass from the baby to the mother,
where they are eliminated by her
body. Most mammals, including
humans, are placental mammals. (Niki will raise her hand.)

Very good.!! It seems that you all

understand the three types of
mammals.

three types of mammals. You were

 (The students will answer.
Answer may vary)
Now, what can you say about the
video? Is it interesting?  It is interesting ma’am
because I did not know
at first that, the three
types of mammals have
different ways of giving
birth.

 After watching the video

ma’am, I was moved to
watch the whale
nurturing its baby. I
imagined my mom's
hardships when she is
carrying me in her
womb. I know it is not
easy.

 Ma’am, upon watching

the three ways in which
three types of mammals
give birth, I realized that
even though they are
different from one
another, I can still say
that they are unique
because they succeeded
in bringing new life.
I am happy to hear that
observation and realizations. Now
to give us additional knowledge
let’s proceed with the continuation
of our lesson. Mean, kindly read (Mean will read the first slide.)
the first slide.

(Mean will read the slide.)

Thank you! Mean.
Marsupials, such as kangaroos,
give birth to live young when their
offspring are still very small and
undeveloped. After the babies are
born, they must finish out their
development in the pouch of their
mother, where they spend several
months suckling on the milk from
their mother.

11
Did you know that a kangaroo has
three vaginas?

Kangaroo, Koalas, wombats, and

Tasmanian devils all share the
three-vagina structure. The side (Student will answer.)
ones carry sperm to the two No, ma’am
uteruses (and males’ marsupials
often have two-pronged penises),
while the middle vagina sends the
joey down to the outside world. I
hope you are taking down all the
important keys that I am uttering
those might be included in our
long quiz next meeting.

Now for our next slide, Brenan (Student will answer.)

kindly read it. Yes, ma’am

(Brenan, will read the slide.)

The third type of mammalian birth

comes from monotremes -
mammals that actually lay eggs,
like the platypus or echidna. This
type of mammal is quite rare
nowadays. Have you seen platypus
and echidna before?

Me too. But according to studies,

DNA analysis of the land-loving,
spiny echidna has found it was
(Student will answer.)
once an amphibious platypus-like
No, ma’am. We haven’t seen

evolutionary biologists shows that
platypus and echidna diverged .
from the same ancestor between
19 and 48 million years ago.

Alright, let us have the next one.

Christian, could you read the
slide?

(Christian, will read the slide.)

12
Thank you, Christian. This
category of mammals grows their
offspring in the uterus of the
mother, where the baby is
provided with all the nutrients and
oxygen it needs via the placenta.
Because the baby has everything it
needs to develop, these mammals
often have relatively long
gestation periods Are there any
questions? Or clarifications?

Now, let’s begin your activity.

Who wants to read the direction?
None, Ma’am. Everything is
Yes, John Paul? clear.

(John Paul will raise his hand.)

F. Developing Mastery
For you to fully understand the
concept of our lesson, let us have
an activity titled “Fact or Bluff”.
Who wants to read the direction?
(John Paul will raise his hand.)
Activity: Fact or Bluff
Yes, John Paul? Direction: Read the following
statements carefully. Analyze if
the statement is correct or
incorrect. Answer Fact if the
statement is correct and Bluff if
the statement is wrong. I will
only give you 10 seconds to
answer for each statement.
What is the answer for number 1?

(Ace will raise his hand.)

Yes, Ace? My answer ma’am is Fact.
That’s right! How about number
2? (Ern will raise his hand.)

Yes, Ern? My answer ma’am is Fact.

Very good! Then for number 3?

(Erika will raise her hand.)
Yes, Erika?
My answer is Fact ma’am
That’s correct! How about number

Yes, Joana? Ma’am my answer is Fact.

(Brenan will raise his hand.)

because monotremes are a group
of unusual mammals that lay

understood and mastered our
lesson for today.
Now, class since we are done
discussing mammals, their
characteristics, their types, and
their reproduction, I want to know
your opinion and feelings towards
the current situation of mammals
here in our country. (Marou will raise her hand.)

Yes, Marou?
Ma’am the common problem
regarding wildlife conservation
of mammals are includes habitat
loss and fragmentation, limited
water for environmental flows,
invasive species, and climate
change.
Thank you, Marou!. There are so
many factors affecting mammal
conservation just like what Marou
shared. Now, what are the things
that you can do in promoting
mammal conservation?

can share how to protect mammals
nowadays?

Yes, Mean? (Mean will raise her hand.)

 One of the most common pieces

of rhetoric you will hear from
environmental conservationists
is that you should recycle, and
this is oft-repeated for a good
reason. Recycling is a great way
to minimize our use of non-
renewable resources and make
the most out of our materials.

mammals’ life depends on it.
With that, can see that you deeply
understand the concept of our
lesson. Do you have any
questions?

15
 None, ma’am.
Now, before we end our class
discussion let’s have the
summarization about the topic that
you have learned today based on
the given diagram that I will show.

(Brenan will raise his hand.)

Yes, proceed Brenan.

Ma’am today, we discussed

mammals and their different
characteristics of it. Those are,

H. Making
Generalization and (Mean will raise her hand.)
Abstractions about
the Lesson

Ma’am, I remember that we also

Proceed, Mean.
discussed the three types of
mammals and their
reproduction. The three types of
mammals are the placental,
marsupial, and monotremes.
Monotremes are
the platypus and echidnas and
the females lay soft-shelled eggs
while the Marsupials give birth
to small, poorly developed
young and most female
marsupials, such as kangaroos,
wallabies, and the Koala, have
pouches and last is the placental
mammal. Placental mammals,
like humans, whales, rodents,
and bats, differ from
monotremes and marsupials in
that they generally give birth to
well-developed young.
