B. Establishing a Porifera, commonly known as sponges, represent a fascinating group of animals. These
purpose for the animals are often referred to as “pore bearers also they are multicellular but lack true tissues
and organs. Instead, they have specialized cells that perform various functions. Unlike more

design has allowed them to thrive in diverse aquatic habitats.

Procedure:
 Divide the students into 4 groups.
 Provide each group with pictures or diagrams of different sponge species.
 Ask them to observe the structures and identify the following characteristics:
o Loosely organized cells
o Radial or asymmetrical body shape
o Presence of pores (ostia) and a central cavity (spongocoel)
o Lack of organs
o Ability to regenerate lost parts
o Holozoic nutrition (filter feeding)
o Reproduction through budding and fragmentation
