DETAILED LESSON PLAN IN SCIENCE AND HEALTH IN GRADE VI

I. Objectives:
1. Indentify producers and consumers as parts of a food chain.
2. Differentiate producers from consumers.
3. Define food chain.
4. Analyze and describe the flow of energy and nutrient through a food chain.

II. Subject Matter:

III. Procedure:
Teacher’s Activity Pupil’s Activity
A. Preparatory Activity
Good Morning Children! Children: Good morning Ma’am!

Okay, everybody stand and let us pray. (Do what is told)

(Our Father) (Praying)…

Class how are you today? Children: Were fine Ma’am.

Very good…

Okay class who is absent? Children: None Ma’am.

Okay very good!

Class before we start our lesson let us sing first..

Everybody stand! (Do what is told)
Do you know the action song entitled Banana? Children: Yes, Ma’am!
Okay, let us sing. (Children are singing)
Very good class! Please take your sit.

Class let us read first our agreement.

Everybody read. (Listen Attentively and Participate (Children are reading)

Actively)

Okay you need to listen and participate actively so

that you can understand our lesson.

Do you understand class? Children: Yes, Ma’am.

Okay class! let us review our past lesson to

determine if you still remember.
What was our topic yesterday class? Janizza: Part of the Plants Ma’am.
Very good!
What are those parts of the plants can you give me
one? Yes, Rowena! Rowena: leave’s Ma’am.
Okay, Rowena!
Great!
Another one? Cha: roots Ma’am!
Okay, very good!

Who can name all the different parts of the plants? Gil: The different parts of plants are
flower,leaves,stem,fruit and roots.
Very good!

B. Motivation

Okay class! Do you know the song Bahay Kubo? Children: Yes,Ma’am!

What vegetables are mentioned in the song can you

give me one Grace? Grace: Talong

Very good!

Another, Yes Tanyap! Tanyap: Sigarilyas

Very good!

So class do you eat vegetables? Children: Yes we are.

Very good!

So class why do we need to eat vegetables? Joylyn: to become healthy and strong ma’am
Yes, that’s right!

Do you all believe that vegetables are foods that are

good for our health? Children: Yes Ma’am
Very good children!

C. Presentation

I have here an illustration of an organism

Corn worm bird rat cat

How are we going to read it? Or how we are going to

interpret the arrow?

(Answer-The arrow is read as – eaten by)

Okay, class I am going to read it first, then after me
you do the same. Do you understand class? Children: Yes, we are!

Everybody read! (Children are reading)

(The corn is eaten by the worm, energy in the form of

food is now pass on to the worm. The worm is eaten
by the bird some energy from the plant which is in the
worm is now transferred to the bird. The bird is eaten
by the rat. Less energy from the plant is now in the rat
and the rat is eaten by the cat, the cat receives the
least energy from the plant.

Okay class, what have you noticed of these illustration

or what is this illustration all about?
Yes, Joylyn? Joylyn: Food chain Ma’am!
Yes you’re right, very good!

So our topic for today is all about food chain.

A food chain is a feeding sequence of organism in a

community. A food chain always begin with producers
also called authotrops. These producers are the green Children are listening.
plants around us chlorophyll which is the green
coloring of the plants is change to starch and sugar
with the help of sunlight, carbon dioxide and water.
These now serves as the food for the plants. This
process called photosynthesis. The animals that feed
on the plants are called consumers, animals that feed
directly on plants are called first order consumers.
They receive great amount of energy from the plants.
The amount of energy decreases as it transfers to the
next order consumers.

Do you understand class? Children: Yes,Ma’am!

Class I have here another illustration of a food chain

with the decomposer.

Grass is eaten by the grasshopper, grasshopper is

eaten by the frog, and the frog is eaten by the snake,
the snake is eaten by the eagle. When the eagle die
the dead body of the eagle will decompose with the
help of fungi and bacteria. This bacteria and fungi are
called decomposer. Decay materials will fertilize the
soil and it can use again the grass.

D. Unlocking the difficult words found in the

topic.
Okay class let us unlock some difficult words that are
found in the topic.

Direction: Pick the correct word and paste it to its

corresponding meaning.
Producers: Organism that can produce their
own food.
Organism: all living things.

Consumers: Organism that they can’t produce

their own food.
Predator: The animals that eat other animals.
Prey: The animals that being eaten.
Ecosystem: All living and nonliving things in an
area.
Decomposer: Living organism which feeds off dead
plants and animals.

E. Discussion

Okay class, What can we get from the food. Rowena: Energy Ma’am!
Very good!

Why plants are called producers? Rosie: because they can make their own food.
Very good!

What is a consumer? Janizza: organism that they cannot make their own
Very good! food.

Class, is the amount of energy of food received by the

higher order consumers the same or less than that
eaten by the lower order consumers? Tanyap: less than Ma’am!

F. Generalization

What is a food chain?

Everybody read.
(A food chain is a feeding sequence of organisms in an
ecosystem. It always begin with a producers which Is Children are reading.
the source of energy in the form of food).

G. Application
Differentiated Instruction/Activities

Okay class, I will group you into 3 groups. Count 1 to

3, all 1 will be the group 1, all number 2 will be group
2 and all number 3 will be the group 3.

Are you ready class? Children: Yes, we are ready Ma’am.

Very good.

I have here three enveloped for Group 1,2 and 3.

Inside this enveloped contained certain instruction
that you must follow. Then select a leader to discuss
your work. If your group can answer correctly then
your group will receive a reward from me.
Do you understand class? Children: Yes, Ma’am!
Okay! You may start now, I will give you 10 minutes to
finish your work.

Group 1.
Group 1, are doing their task.
Assemble the picture and construct a food chain.

Group 2.
Encircle the producers and box the consumers and X Group 2, are doing their task.
the decomposer.

Group 3.
Paste the pictures whether plant eater, meat eaters Group 3, are doing their task.
and both plant and meat eaters.

Okay, are you done! Let us check all your work.

IV . Evaluation

True or False
Write T if the statement is true and write F if the
statement is false. (2pts. Each)

1. moss – tadpole – tilapia – dalag

is a food chain found in grassy community. Children are answering.
2. cows – worms – insects
and horses are consumers.
3. Plants are called
consumers because they can make their
own food.
4. The process by which
plants make their own food is called
photosynthesis.
5. Food chain always begin
with a producer.

Answer key:
1. F
2. T
