A. Preparation
Good morning class!
Before we start our session for today, I would
like you to align your chairs horizontally and
vertically and see to it that there are no pieces
of paper or plastics on the floor.
Are all of you present today?
B. Motivation
Are you familiar with the game HAVEY &
WALEY?
If that so, I will explain it how will you going
to do. When we say HAVEY it means yes


Good morning Sir!

(Students follow the instructions.)


Yes sir.



No sir.


and when we say WALEY it means no. I
am going to read statements which are
answerable by HAVEY or WALEY. When
you know the answer, you will stamp your
feet 3 times, clap your hands 3 times and
shout your answer. The fastest group who can
answer correctly will get 10 points.
Understand?
(the teacher will group the students into 3)
Okay, you have with you now your group
members. Select a leader and write your
names in a sheet of paper.
This is your first question.

KINGDOM ANIMALIA sir!

observers. At this point in time, we will
discuss about kingdom animalia. What are
the four traits of animals? Yes.


Thats right! Animals really cant make their
own food. It means they are Heterotrophs.
The cells of animals make up tissues and
organs that form systems or they are
multicellular. They have no cell wall. They
are organism with membrane -bound nucleus
(Eukaryotic).
All animals belong to one of two groups- the
vertebrates and the invertebrates.
What are vertebrates and invertebrates? Yes.

Exactly! People and the animals most closely
related to us, such as fish, amphibians,
reptiles, birds and other mammals and these
are vertebrates. Worms and insects are
examples of invertebrates. What is
symmetry? Yes.

Thats right! Only a few very simple animals
do not show symmetry. These animals grow
in variety of shapes. There are two types of
symmetry. What are they? Yes.
Exactly! In radial symmetry, the body parts
are arranged in a circle around a center point.
The sea anemone is an example of an animal
that has radial symmetry. All vertebrates and
some invertebrates have bilateral symmetry.
In an animal with bilateral symmetry, the
body can be divided lengthwise into two
equal sides, a right side and a left side.
For us to identify the nine major phyla of
Kingdom animalia, lets have a game. So this
game is called decoding the number. I will


Animals cant make their own food. Most
animals can move from place to place. Most
animals have symmetry. And lastly animals
have many cells.










Vertebrates are those animals with backbones
while invertebrates are those animals without
backbones.





Symmetry is the balanced arrangement of body
parts around a center point or along a center
line.




Radial symmetry and bilateral symmetry sir.











be giving you numbers that you have to
decode. We will use cell phone for us to
identify what is being decoded. While having
a game, well have a brief discussion after we
identified each phylum using powerpoint
presentation.
For example:
22-444-666-555-666-4-444-222-2-555 space
7777-222-444-33-66-222-33-7777
Answer: Biological Sciences
Did you understand my instruction?
Okay lets start the game. Are you ready!
I will give you 1 minute to decode the
number.
1. 7-44-999-555-88-6 space 7-666-777-
444-333-33-777-2
Time is up! What is the answer? Yes.
Very good! Its phylum porifera. What are
the characteristics of phylum porifera? Yes.

Absolutely! (the teacher will show pictures of
phylum porifera)
Phylum porifera (sponges) are so called
pore-bearing animals. They have pores,
have skeleton of silicon or calcium containing
spicules or their skeleton made of spicules
(endoskeleton), have body cavity and have
osculum, large opening at the top of the
sponge body. And most especially they are
asymmetrical, it means no symmetry.
Since sponges cant move, how do they get
food? Yes













Yes sir.
Yes sir.






Phylum Porifera sir.



Phylum porifera are the simplest animals and
they live in shallow and deep oceans.













All sponges must live in water. Water has
small organisms in it that sponges can use for
food. The pores in the sponge allow water and
any food in the water to flow into the animal.

Thats right! next decode the number
2. 7-44-999-555-88-6 space 222-66-444-
3-2-777-444-2-66-7777
Time is up! What is the answer? Yes.
Thats right! They are consisting of animals
whose tentacles contain stinging cells called
nematocysts. What are the major
characteristics of cnidarians? Yes.

Very good! Phylum Cnidarians have two
body forms and these are medusa and polyp.
Stinging-cell animals have radial symmetry
and saclike bodies made of two cell layers. A
jellylike layer lies between the two layers.
Inside the body of each animal is a body
cavity. The cavity has one opening called the
mouth. The only way into and out of the body
is through the mouth.
How then do they get food? Yes.
Thats right! Addendum, phylum cnidarians
reproduce asexual reproduction and sexual
reproduction. next decode the number
decode the number
3. 7-44-999-555-88-6 space 7-555-2-8-
999-44-33-555-6-444-66-8-44-33-
7777
Time is up! Whats the answer? Yes.
Youre correct! When you hear the word
worm, you probably think of an earthworm,
but there are many different kinds of worms.
So what is phylum Platyhelminthes? Yes.





Phylum cnidarians




Cnidarians are radial symmetry and they are
hollow-bodied animals. Many stinging-cell
animals have armlike parts called tentacles.










They catch it with their tentacles.









Phylum Platyhelminthes



They are unsegmented worms. They are long
ribbon-shaped worms. They are free living
while others are parasitic and live in freshwater
Absolutely! Worms are more complex than
sponges and stinging-cell animals. Flatworms
are the simplest worms. They have a flattened
body and three layers of cells. These layers
include the outer, an inner layer and a thick,
middle layer. Organs and systems develop
from cells of the middle layer. As what you
have said that flatworms are parasites.
Remember that parasites are live in or on
other living things and get food from them.
The organism that provides the food is the
host. Some flatworms can cause serious
problems. What is the common freshwater
flatworm that is not a parasite and it has less
than one centimetre long? Yes.
Thats right! decode the number
4. 7-44-999-555-88-6 space 66-33-6-2-
8-666-3-2
Time is up! Whats the answer? Yes.
Correct! One example of the Phylum
Nematoda is the roundworms. Will you
describe the characteristics of nematode?
Yes.

Very good! The free-living ones are
important as they are decomposers in the soil
in both marine and freshwaters and a lot of
them are found in decaying organic matter.
Phylum nematode is also bilateral symmetry
just like the other phyla. They have mouth
and anus. They live in soil and some are
parasitic.

or sea water.










Planarian sir.





Phylum Nematoda sir.




They are long, cylindrical and slender bodies.
And some roundworms are free-living while
others are parasites of animals and plants.













Time is up! Whats the answer? Yes.
Youre correct! Also known as annelids,
these animals are characterized by a
segmented or repeated body parts. Who can
briefly characterize the phylum annelida?
Yes.
Thats right! In addendum, annelids have
nervous, circulatory, digestive and excretory
systems. One example of annelids is
earthworms and leeches. Are we benefited?
Why? Yes.

Absolutely! Leeches secrete an anti-clotting
chemical that has been used in medicine.
Earthworms take soil through their mouths.
Soil contains decayed matter, such as dead
leaves, insects and seeds. These things are
food for the earthworm. The soil itself is not
food and passes through the anus.
Earthworms move large amounts of soil from
place to place by passing it through their
bodies. They enrich the soil and loosen it,
helping plants grow.
Annelids are also bilateral symmetry and they
reproduce through internal fertilization or
sexual reproduction.

444-66-666-3-33-777-6-2-8-2
Time is up! Whats the answer? Yes.
Thats right! You can be fascinated by the
star-shaped sea star of the spine-studded sea
urchin and the appearance of the sand dollar.
Along with the brittle star and the sea
cucumber, they belong to Phylum
Echinodermata.
Phylum Annelida sir!




Phylum Annelida are those most are burrowers
in the sand and some are hermaphrodite.


Yes because leeches use to be used in medicine
to clean blood as well as earthworms also
aerate the soil and the castings serve as
fertilizer.

















Phylum Echinodermata







What are the characteristics of
Echinodermata? Yes.


Very good! Phylum Echinodermata have hard
bodies covered with spines, have no head nor
tails and have no left nor right and have
mouth and anus at its top and bottom ends.
Sea stars have the ability to regenerate. A cut
arm easily regrows into a new sea star. What
type or reproduction is this? Yes.
Thats right! What part of their body they
used to get their food, moving around and gas
exchange? Yes.
Alright! A sea cucumber is dried and used as
ingredient for chopsuey and soups.
decode the number
7. 7-44-999-555-88-6 space 6-666-555-
555-88-7777-222-2
Time is up! Whats the answer? Yes.
Correct! So, what is all about the Phylum
Mollusca? Yes.

Exactly! Of course they have no skeleton
because they are soft-bodied animals. They
are bilateral symmetry. They are both
reproduce through internal and external
fertilization (Sexual and asexual). What body
is covered by a thin, fleshy tissue? Yes.
Thats right! The mantle makes the shell. The
shell is the outermost covering. It protects the
soft body. Soft-bodied animals have a


Phylum Echinodermata are also radial
symmetry, they live in marine environment and
they have a dermal skeleton with spines and
plates.

Tube feet







Phylum Mollusca sir!

Phylum Mollusca are soft-bodied animals,
have protective shells and have a mantle which
secretes the shells.



Mantle sir.

muscular foot for moving from place to place.
What do we mean by univalves and bivalves?
Yes.
Exactly. And I know that most of you are
very familiar with these phylum mollusca.
Many mollusk species are utilized as food
like tahong (mussels), talaba (oyster), halaan
(clam), scallops, and kuhol or suso to name
some. Ant other species are made into
decorative items.

777-666-7-666-3-2
Time is up! Whats the answer? Yes.
Youre correct! Have you observed what
grasshoppers, spiders, crabs and centipedes
have in common? If you take a look at each
of these you will notice that they have jointed
legs. These animals belong to Phylum
Arthropoda. What do they characterize? Yes.

Exactly! Their exoskeleton is made of chitin.
They are animals with Molting- shedding
exoskeleton to grow. Phylum Arthropoda
divided into 5 class and these are:
Class Crustacea- Five pairs of legs
Class Insecta- Three pairs of legs
Class Arachnida- Four pairs of legs
Class Chilopoda- One pair of legs per
segment
Class Diplopoda- Two pair of legs per
segment
Class crustaceans form one group of
arthropods which includes water fleas, crabs,
shrimps, lobsters and barnacles. They have

Univalves mean they have only one-part shell
while bivalves have two-part shells.








Phylum Arthropoda sir!



Arthropods have jointed legs, have
exoskeleton, have segmented bodies with 2 or
3 regions and most have antennae.








hard exoskeletons and have mandible to bite
and grind food.
Class insect form the largest group among the
arthropods. They have three body sections,
three pairs of legs, a pair of antenna and one
to two pairs of wings.
What insects do you familiar with? Yes

Alright! 3
rd
class is the class arachnida
(arachnids). They have 2 body sections, most
with four pairs of legs and mouthparts are
called chelicerae and pedipalps. They use
book lungs to respire.
Will you give me an example that you see
around your house or outside your house?
Yes.
Very good! Spiders with thin and flexible
exoskeleton are the largest members of the
group.
And lastly the class chilopoda and diplopoda
or the millipedes and centipedes. They are
close relatives of insects have long, wormlike
segmented bodies. They have a pair of
antenna and each segment bear a pair or two
legs.

9. 7-44-999-555-88-6 space 222-44-666-
777-3-2-8-2
Time is up! Whats the answer? Yes.
The chordate phylum is probably the most
familiar to you. The structures and ways of
life of these animals are most like yours.
They are your food, your pets, farm animals,





Dragonflies, grasshoppers, aphids and
butterflies.




Spiders, mites and ticks sir.









Phylum Chordata sir!



the animals you see all around you. Chordates
live in water as well as on land. Some
chordates, such as bats and birds are able to
fly. You, too, belong to this phylum.
How do you identify chordate? Yes.


Exactly! Phylum chordates Have a notochord
at certain stage of their life cycle; have gill
slits and a tail at a stage in their development.
However, there are lower chordates that do
not have a backbone. Examples are the
tunicates and lancelets.
Three of the seven vertebrate classes are fish.
All fish have certain traits in common. Will
you give some characteristics of fish? Yes.

Thats right! Cold-blooded means having a
body temperature that changes with the
temperature of the surroundings. Fish have
gills on each side of the throat region.
There are three different classes of fish in the
chordate phylum. What are they? Yes.
Exactly! Jawless fish are fish that have no
jaws and are not covered with scales. The
skeletons of jawless fish are made of
cartilage.
What are the examples of jawless fishes?
Yes.
Thats right! Lampreys have tubelike bodies
covered with slime that protects the skin.
They dont have paired fins. The hagfish is a
wormlike and use a toothlike tongue to eat



A chordate is an animal that, at some time in
its life, has a tough, flexible rod along its back.
The chordate phylum is named for this trait.






Fish are cold-blooded vertebrates that live in
water and breathe with gills.




Jawless fish, cartilaginous fish and bony fish.



Lampreys and hagfish sir.



dead organisms.
Next is the cartilaginous fish. What are they?
Yes.


Thats right! an examples of cartilage fish are
the sharks and rays. Some of them eat
floating planktons while others feed on
invertebrates at the bottom of seas and
oceans.
And lastly bony fish. These are the fishes that
have an endoskeleton made of hard, calcium
material called bone. Bony fishes are more
familiar to you like bangus (milkfish), tuna,
goldfish, and tilapia.
Amphibians include frogs, toads, and
salamanders. What is an amphibian? Yes.
Very good! Usually, young amphibians live
in water and adult amphibians live mostly on
land. Both frogs and toads jump. Frogs and
toads eat worms, insects or small animals.
And generally, amphibians are cold-blooded
vertebrates. The state of being inactive during
cold weather is called hibernation.
What are reptiles? Yes.


Very good! Some traits of reptiles are cold-
blooded vertebrates with a backbone and an
endoskeleton. Most reptiles can move
quickly.
Examples of reptiles are the following:

Cartilage fish are fish in which the entire
skeleton is made of cartilage. They have no
bone. Unlike the jawless fish, cartilage fish
have jaws, toothlike scales, and paired fins.
Sharks and rays are cartilage fish.








An amphibian is an animal that lives part its
life in water and another part of its life on land.




Reptiles are animals that exhibit more
adaptations for living on land. They lay eggs
with shells to protect them from drying. They
also have smooth or rough scales for protection
from loss of body water.



1. Lizards and snakes
2. Crocodiles and alligators
3. Bodies of turtles and tortoises
If reptiles are adapted to fly. Characteristics
of birds that enable them to fly include:
presence of wings and feathers, large flight
muscles in the breast bone and reduced
weight. Aside from the characteristics of
birds that enable them to fly, what else do
you know about their traits? Yes.

Thats right! Warm-blooded means
controlling the body temperature so that it
stays about the same no matter what the body
temperature of the surroundings. Feathers
help the body keep a constant body
temperature. Birds have no teeth, what part of
their body they use to get food? Yes.
Exactly! Birds have beaks that they use to get
food. Birds are important to us in many ways.
Will you site some instances that birds help
us to a real life situation? Yes.

Thats right! Chickens and ducks provide
eggs and meat. Some people have birds as
pets. Many people enjoy watching and
feeding wild birds.
And lastly mammals. I know that all of you
are very familiar with mammals right? So,
what are mammals then? What traits do they
have? Yes.








Birds are warm-blooded. Like reptiles, birds
have scales, but the scales are only on their
legs.




Their beaks.


They help farmers by eating insects and the
seeds of weeds. Some birds eat rats and mice.





Mammals differ from other animals because
they have mammary glands that produce milk
to nourish their young and most have hair or
fur. They breathe in air, have four-chambered
hearts and are warm-blooded. Most of them

Exactly! A mammal is an animal that has hair
and feeds milk to its young. You are
mammal. What do we mean by marsupials?
Yes.
Exactly! Kangaroos and opossums are
pouched mammals. After birth, the young are
kept inside pouches and are nourished with
the milk from the mammary glands within
these pouches. What are eutherians? Yes.


Now that you have studied the entire animal
kingdom. What phylum do you belong? Yes.
Absolutely! Remember that you are also a
chordate and a mammal. The name of your
genus is Homo. Your species name is
sapiens. These means make up the scientific
name of humans, Homo sapiens. The Latin
word Homo means man and sapiens means
wise. Together Homo sapiens means wise
man.
D. Generalization
Before you take the quiz, do you have any
question?
Okay lets summarize what we have
discussed today.
also give birth to live young and care for them.


They are the pouched mammals that also give
birth to live young.


Eutherians comprise the largest group of
mammals. Known as the placental mammals,
they bear fully developed young inside
mothers uterus.

Phylum Chordata sir.







None sir.
We tackled about the traits of animals have.
We also came to identify those nine phyla of
animal kingdom using our cellphones(game)
and we were able to characterize each. We also
came to scrutinize the presence or importance
of these nine phyla in our daily living.
