IV. PROCEDURE
DAILY ROUTINE A. Prayer
(10 mins.)
Okay everyone let’s pray. Heavenly Father, we come before you today, asking
for your guidance and inspiration in our learning
journey. Bless our teachers with wisdom and
patience to guide us, and grant us students the
eagerness to absorb knowledge and the courage to
ask questions. May our classroom be a place of open
minds, respectful dialogue, and a love for learning.
Help us to use our talents to their fullest potential,
and to always strive for excellence in all we do. In
Jesus' name, Amen.
B. Greetings
Good afternoon everyone! Good afternoon Ma’am!
C. Classroom Management
Okay before we proceed to our activities and
lesson, kindly pick-up those piece of paper and
[Link] your chair. So again what are
classroom management? Everybody read.
Respect Everyone
Raise Your Hand
Be Prepared
Follow Directions
Keep the Classroom Clean
Use Inside Voices
Stay Focused
Be Responsible
Your phones
Is that clear? Yes Ma’am
D. Checking of Attendance
Okay is everyone presents? Yes ma’am
that’s greate!
E. Checking of Assignment
Pass your assignments forwardly. Okay ma’am
F. Review
ELICIT What makes an ecosystem healthy or stable?
What do you hink happens when ecosystem is
disturbed?
Can you name human activities can harm the
ecosystem? Deforestation, Kaingin (Slash-and-Burn Farming),
Urban Expansion, Air Pollution, Water Pollution,
Soil Pollution, Illegal Logging, Overfishing,
Poaching & Hunting, Introduction of Invasive
Species, Burning Fossil Fuels, Landfills & Improper
Waste Disposal, Plastic Pollution, Mining,
Monoculture Farming
Activity 1: “ Ecosystem Jenga”
Think this DIY jenga tower represent an
ecosystem each block represent a species or
environmental factor plants, animals, water and
air.
I need a representative to remove one block and
observe how the structure becomes unstable.
What does this tell to us about ecosystem rely on balance and stability
stability?
ENGAGE In your own group yesterday we have an activity
entitled ECOSYSTEM PASS THE MESSAGE
Ecosystem Pass
the Message
Here’s a mechanics everybody read. A leader or representative had to guess the riddle I
showed and then pass the answer to the next
member, who continued passing it down the line
until it reached the last person. The person at the
back had a coupon and a marker and had to
determine the correct order of producer, first
consumer, second consumer, third consumer, and
decomposer. Once they arranged them correctly,
they ran to the front
As they held it up, their teammates shouted, We did
it!"
What would if one role disappeared from the
ecosystem?
In circle of your family, what would feel if one Its became imbalance ma’am
member of the family was left?
We felt saf ma’a,
I will show you a video and watch carefully and
takedown notes.

What threats to the biodiversity were shown in the
video?
What is HIPPO?
How does this threats affect human and nature? Habitat deforestation, invasive species, pollution,
population of human, and overharvestion
What does this tell us about the importance of
biodiversity?
Says healthy and balanced planet.
Okay today we talk about. Stability of
Ecosystem, Threats to Biodiversity, and
Conservation Measures
Read our objectives
At the end of the lesson, the students are expected
to:
-Explain the factor that contribute to a stable
ecosystem and the threats that lead to biodiversity
loss.
-Appreciate the importance of biodiversity and
develop a sense of responsibility for protecting
ecosystems.
-Create cause and effect diagram showing how
threats affect biodiversity and propose solutions to
protect ecosystem.
EXPLAIN Who wants to read? A stable ecosystem ensures that populations sustain
across generations through nutrient recycling,
sunlight as an energy source, balanced consumer
populations, and biodiversity maintenance.
The factors that contribute to our stable ecosystem
are air, water, animals and plants
Who wants to read? Benefits of High Biodiversity
-Supports ecosystem stability and productivity
-Provides clean water, soil protection, nutrient
recycling, and pollution control
-Helps ecosystems recover from natural disasters
Who wants to read? Threats to Biodiversity
-Habitat destruction (deforestation, kaingin, illegal
logging)
-Pollution (biological, chemical, and waste)
-Invasive species (e.g., cane toad affecting native
amphibians)
-Overexploitation (poaching, hunting, and illegal
fishing)
-Climate change impacting species survival
Who wants to read? Conservation & Protection Measures
To address biodiversity threats, Republic Act No.
9147 (Wildlife Resources Conservation and
Protection Act) was implemented to protect wildlife
and their habitats. Other conservation efforts
include:
Protected areas & critical habitats for
threatened species
Centers of Plant Diversity in locations
like Mt. Kitanglad and Mt. Apo
National Greening Program to promote
reforestation and sustainable farming
What are the factors that contribute to stable
ecosystem? Air, water, animals and plants
Very good.
What are the threats that lead to biodiversity says Habitat deforestation , invasive species,pollution,
in the video? population of human and over harvesting
What is Republic Act NO. 9147? (Wildlife Resources Conservation and Protection
Act)
What are other conservation efforts? Protected areas & critical habitats, Centers of
Plant Diversity,National Greening Program
ELABORATE
Cause And Effect
