affect the life cycle of organisms? survive.

B. EXPLORATION Present the pictures and guide questions

will be answered by the pupils.

Activity: “What is in the Picture?”

Directions: Look at the picture

below. Describe and Identify the
environmental factors affecting
life cycle of organisms in the
following environments.

factors affecting the life cycle of
organisms?
The water is the one needs of all the
living organisms to survive also it is use
4.In what way does water help
to live or the aquatic organisms needs
in the life cycle of organisms?
water to have a habitat and also it
food? shelter? space?
helps many organisms regulate
metabolism and dissolves compounds
going into or out of the body.

 Without foods all the living

organisms will be sick because of
the malnutrition.
5.What will happen to the organisms if
there is:
 Without water all the living
a. limited food?
organisms will die because of the
b. insufficient water?
hot or the sunlight from the sun.
c. Limited space for the
organism?
 If the space of the habitat of the
d. no shelter?
 living organisms it will be harder
for them to find food and shelter
also this will cause many
consequences for their species,
like starvation and death of their
kind.

 It will be harder for them to live

and it increased danger for all
the living things.
C. EXPLANATION

 A habitat is a place where

an organism makes its
home. Some examples of
habitats are the forest,
farm, wetlands, ocean,
freshwater, and desert. A
habitat meets all the
environmental conditions an (student can raise their hand if they
organism needs to survive. have an answer.)
 The main components of a
habitat are shelter, water,
food, and space. A habitat
is said to have a suitable
arrangement when it has
the correct amount of all of
these.
 The environmental factors
affecting the life cycle of
organisms are as follows:
food, water, shelter and
space. Each factor affects in
 the life cycle of the
organisms.

 Food is an environmental
factor needed by all
organisms. They use it to
get energy and perform life
processes. Food is also
needed for organisms’
growth and development of
the body.

 Living organisms need

water to survive. Other
organisms require water to
break down food molecules
or generate energy during
the respiration process.
Water also helps many
organisms regulate
metabolism and dissolves
compounds going into or
out of the body.

 An organism’s shelter
protects it from other
animals and extreme
weather. Shelter also
provides space for eating,
sleeping, hunting, and
raising a family. Shelters
come in many forms. A (student can raise their hand if they
single tree, for example, have an answer.)
can provide sheltered
habitats for many different
organisms.

 Organisms need a living

space or enough area for
them to obtain resources
like food, water, and
oxygen. It is also an area
where they can express
their physical and social
behaviors.

D. ELABORATION A. Directions: Look at the picture below and answer the questions that
follow.

Questions:

1. What can you say about the picture? What organisms can you see?

2. What environmental factors are present in the picture of habitat?

3. Why do you think are water, food, shelter, and space important
to the organisms in that particular habitat?

4. What do you think will happen to the life cycle of organisms if all
environmental factors are present in a habitat? What if one or all
of the factors are absent?

5. How can you help organisms continue having a normal life cycle in
the environment?
 Directions: Complete the table below by describing the effects of the
kind of environment to the life cycle of organisms. Then, answer the
questions that follow.
