Guide Question and Answer:


1. What is the function of the heart in the human body, and why is it
important to keep it healthy?
Answer: The heart pumps blood throughout the body, delivering
oxygen and nutrients to cells and removing waste products. It is
important to keep the heart healthy through regular exercise, a
balanced diet, and avoiding smoking to prevent heart disease.
2. How do the lungs help us breathe, and what are some ways to

balance, and produce urine. To protect kidney health, it's crucial to stay
hydrated, maintain a healthy diet low in salt and sugar, and avoid
excessive use of painkillers.
5. Which part of the brain is responsible for controlling thoughts, memory,
and emotions, and how can we support brain health?
Answer: The brain's cerebrum controls thoughts, memory, and

these?
Answer: Predation, Competition, Mutualism and Commensalism
9.How does predation occur in the grassland ecosystem?
Answer: Predation can occur when a lion hunts a zebra for food. The lion
preys on the zebra as part of the predator-prey relationship in the grassland.

Topic: Ecosystem
Title of the Activity: Explore Me! Interaction among living things (Use of
Technology)
Materials: Smartphone , Data Connection, Printer

Procedures:
 Research an example of pictures of harmful and beneficial interaction
among living things ( e.g Commensalism , Predation ).
 Provide at least one (1 ) picture for each interaction.
 Use your smartphones or Laptop.
 Use a long bond paper and print it out.

Guide Questions and Answer:

Answer: There are four and it is Commensalism, Predation, Mutualism,
Competition and Parasitism
2. Based on what you have researched on Predation, what does the picture
says?

Answer: We use the force of our hands.
3. Based on the object you have created, if you are going to throw a rock,
or any hard objects to it, what do you think will happen to that object?
Answer: It will be destroyed, or it will be flattened.
4. Do you think that force will have an effect to object when applied? How
so?
Answer: Yes, because when we apply force to any object, it will change its
size, shape, and movement.

Title of the Activity: Learning While Having Fun - Angry Birds (Technology)
Materials: Smartphone

Procedures:
 Teacher will instruct the students to download the app “angry birds” to
their phone. (If not all students have phone, then this activity can be
done as a groupwork.)

Guide Question and Answer:


1. While playing the game, what did you do to proceed to another level?
Answer: Using the slingshot, the bird is put there then we pull the rope to
make it destroy the houses of the green pigs.

2. What do you think was applied when you pull the rope and the bird
went to the other side?
Answer: Force

3. What happened to the houses of the green pigs at the other side after
you throw the birds?

 Second, focus the flashlight in a distance wall or at the ceiling and
observe the path of light
 Next, get a cardboard/illustration board that has a hole in the middle
then block the path of light coming from the flashlight
 Then, get a three (3) cardboard/illustration board that has a hole in the
middle then tape it and put it in a empty box in a parallel form with 2
inches away from each other. Make sure that the cardboard/illustration
board are aligned so that it will be seen through the holes.

through it?
Answer: With the 3 holes aligned, the light was able to pass through it.
4. When one of the illustration board was not aligned with the other
illustration board, was the light able to pass through the other
illustration boards? Why?
Answer: The light could not pass through the other illustration boards. The
illustration board in the middle blocked the path of light.

Answer: The similarities of light, heat and sound is they are all form of energy.
5. Can you differentiate the Light, heat, and sound?
Answer: Heat can be transferred by radiation, conduction and convection.
While light can be produced, reflected, refracted, and separated into light of
various colors. Lastly, sound is created by vibration and cannot travel through
a vacuum.
