A. Everyday Routine
A.1. Greetings Good morning class. Good morning, Sir.
A.2. Prayer Before anything else. May I Our Father, who art in heaven,
request everyone to stand up for a hallowed be Thy Name. Thy
short prayer. Kingdom come, Thy Will be
done, on earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day, our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses, as
we forgive those who trespass
against us. And lead us not into
temptation, but deliver us from
evil.
AMEN!

B. Engage
I have pictures of different
animals here. Your task is to
identify the correct animal in
each picture.
If you identify the correct animal,
you will earn points.
Is that clear? Yes, sir.
Let’s begin! Yes, sir.
C. Explore
Before we begin let’s have
another activity. “Green flag, Red
flag”.
I will read a statement about the
evidence of evolution, and your
task is to determine whether it is
true or false.
If you think the statement is true,
raise a Green Flag. If you think
the statement is false, raise a Red
Flag. Those who give the correct
answer will earn points.
Listen carefully, as I will explain
why each statement is true or
false after you respond. The
student with the most points at
the end of the game wins.
Yes, Sir.
Is that clear?
Green Flag (Fact/True)
Fossils provide physical
evidence of organisms
that lived millions of
years ago.
Homologous structures in
different species suggest a
common ancestor.
DNA similarities between
species provide molecular
evidence for evolution.
Red Flag (Bluff/False)
Evolution is just a guess
and has no scientific
evidence.
Only physical traits, not
genetics, can be used as
evidence of evolution.
The presence of vestigial
structures means the
species has no
evolutionary history.
Let’s begin!"
D. Explain
Let's dive into our lesson. Can
someone tell me what evolution
is all about? Evolution is the change in
inherited traits over successive
generations in populations of
organisms.
Very good! In addition, this
change allowed organisms to
adapt and survive in their
environment.
There are four evidences of
evolution.
Fossil records
Comparative anatomy
Embryonic development
Genetic information
Let’s start with fossil records.
What are fossils or fossil records? Fossils records are traces of
organisms that lived in the past
and were preserved by natural
process of catastrophic events.
Fossil document the existence on
now extinct past species that are
related to present day species.
Fossils are usually found in
sedimentary rocks.
There are six main types of
fossils. However, we will be
focusing on two. Those are
imprints and compressions.
What is the difference between Imprints are shallow external
the two? molds left by animal or plant
tissues with little or no organic
materials present.
Compression are animal or plant
tissues preserved in sedimentary
rocks is formed with more
organic material.
The next question is, how are the
ages of fossils determined?
Scientists have two methods;
relative dating and radioactive Relative dating the age of rock is
dating.
compared to other rock layers.
Radiometric dating and
radioactive dating, the isotope of
carbon-14, is used.
Next, the next evidence is

of the similarities and differences
in the structures of different
species.
And here we will be discussing
three types of structures. We have
homologous structures, analogous
structures and vestigial structures.
What is the difference?
Homologous structures are body
parts of organisms that may
perform different functions but
are the same origin.
So why are we called the same Because we can see that even
origin? though their functions are
different, their parts, their
segments are almost the same.
Homologous structures are
related to a concept we call
divergent evolution. Divergent
evolution simply tells us that
although specific species have
common ancestors.
Analogous structures are body
parts of organisms that may

And if homologous structures are
related to divergent evolution,
analogous structure are related to
convergent evolution. This means
that two different species evolve
similar traits in spite of having
distinct ancestors, just like bats
and whales. Vestigial structures are body parts
that are useless or left over from

Many organisms have similar
