DETAILED LESSON PLAN IN GRADE 4 SCIENCE

CONTENT STANDARD:

1.Greetings Good morning Good morning,
class! Ma’am!

I am Peachee
Soliman but you
can call me Teacher

teacher for today.

How are you? Expected answer:

great po.

Very good. Let us

start the day with a
prayer.

meeting? No Ma’am!
3 minutes A. ELICIT Class, what we had Last meeting, we
discussed last had discussed
meeting? about Body parts
of animals live in
water

Now that you

already understand
about Body parts of
animals live in
water, let us now
proceed with our
discussion for
today.

5 minutes C.ENGAGE Review

I am going to show
a picture of animals.
You have to label PowerPoint
and write the name Presentation/

the animal.

 Ears
 Nose
 Legs
 Paws
 Claw
 Mouth
 Eyes

the Lesson had done a while
ago is examples
what we are going
to discuss today.

Expected Answer:
What do you think is
Body Parts of
our lesson for
Animals that live
today?
on Land

Very good! That

was correct.
Presentation of Before we start with
Objectives the proper
discussion, here are
the
targets/objectives
for today’s lesson.

post the objectives Presentation/Vi

expected to read
those objectives on
their own).

Very good students.

You made it right.

5 minutes D.EXPLORE Instructions: Visial Aids

Identify the
following animals if
it is live on land or
in water.

I will group you into

three groups.

Group 1 will get 5

pictures of animals
in the box that live
on land and paste it
in the Venn
Diagram.

Group 2 will write

five examples of
animals that lives in
water in the Venn
Diagram

Group 3 will paste

the names of the
animals that live
both in land and
water.
 -The teacher will
select random
students to answer
on the given
questions.

5 minutes E.EXPLAIN -What had you (Answers may vary

learned from the in students
activity? learning and
understanding).
15 minutes F.ELABORATE Based on the A habitat is a place
activity that you
where an organism
had, can you define makes its home.
what is habitat?

Why do animals live All organisms need

in certain places? to adapt to their
habitat to be able
to survive.

How animal’s body an adaptation is

part helps to adapt something on their
in their particular body to help them
habitat? find food, water,
mates, and shelter.
That was great!
Nice observation
students.

Now, let us proceed

with the discussion
proper. I know that
you already have
the idea about the
Body Parts of
Animals that live on
 Land but let us
discuss the topic
further

(PRESENTATION
OF DISCUSSION)
5-10 G.EVALUATE All the information
minutes presented is
beneficial towards
your learning.
However, to test if
you really learned
from the discussion,
I want you to
perform an
individual activity

Draw an animal
which adapted to (The student will
land. perform the
activity)

(The Teacher show

suggested rubric for
scoring to the class)

H.EXTEND Alright, for you to

better understand
our topic,

A habitat is a place

where an organism
makes its home. A
habitat meets all the
environmental
conditions an
organism needs to
survive.

Some animals are

covered with fur to
keep them warm.
 Others are covered
with feathers. Some
have smooth skins
for breathing like
worms. Most body
coverings of
animals are for
protection.

Animals have body

parts for moving like
legs for walking and
wings for flying.

Land or terrestrial
animals have lungs
for breathing.

GENERALIZATION Again, who among the place or

you can define environment where
habitat? a plant or animal
naturally or
normally lives and
 grows

Very good! Now,

Can you give me at Horse

least 3 examples of Cow
animals that live on Dog
land?

Very good!
5 mins. VALUES Would it be possible No because their
INTEGRATION for these land body structures are
animals to live in adapted only to
other habitat? land.

An adaptation is a
way an animal's
body helps it
survive, or live, in
its environment.
