Are you familiar with the tangram
puzzle?
I have here a tangram that are
arrange in many shapes of animals.

(Answer varied)
Yes sir!
(The students will solve the puzzle).

All you need to do is arrange the

puzzle to form a square and you will
be unlock the hidden picture. I will
give you three minutes to arrange
the puzzle. Is that clear?

Discussion
Now, who can among of you define

what they have mentioned. He will

add other information that was not
mentioned by the students).
Every living organisms around us
has its own important role or value
for us to live. It can be economical,
ecological and aesthetical valuable.
The value of species can be divided

Direct

into three various categories. What

Economic Value and Aesthetic Value.

Economic

Who wants to give example of

Precisely!
The second categories are Indirect

Yes Lyra
Very Good!
Now who wants to give example of

Very Good!
The third one is aesthetic value,

Exactly!
Biodiversity

is

very

important

Answer varied

because it sustains through flow of

energy the food web on earth and
contributes

to

environmental

stability. So, class, have you picture

out our environment without plants,
animals, trees and nothing around
us, just the human being, what do
you think will happen to us?
All the species in an ecosystem rely
on one another. For example, is the
food web the 1st consumer always
depends in producer, if there is no
producer then all species in
ecosystem will be affected. In some
way, with less biodiversity, the
ecosystem will become unstable.
But the greater the biodiversity, the
more chances that stability can be
attained in an ecosystem.
Generalization
I know you youve learn a lot from

this days discussion, can anyone

recall

what

is

biodiversity?

Yes

Jovian?
Very Good!
Now, who can enumerate the three

Direct

categories of value of an species?

economic value, and aesthetic value.

Yes Jaylord?
Exactly!
How does biodiversity affect the

Very good!
It seems that all of you are already

None sir!

familiar the biodiversity of every

species and their value to us. Do
you have any question regarding
the lesson that we had discussed?
Application
Since you have no question, we will
have an activity. Each group will

Yes Sir.
(The Students will do the activity)

discuss the value of biodiversity

and

complete

the

table

1.

(Organisms and their value) found

in your module. (teacher explain
the instruction) Write as many as
you can but please avoid repeated
answer. I will give you 5 minutes to
accomplish that activity the group
that

will

have

most

numerous

answer will be given points. I will

give you 3 minutes to accomplish
that activity and after that present
your output in front. Understood?
After five (5) minutes. Who wants to
present first?
We will start with group number 1.

(Group 1 will present their output)

(After the presentation). Very good.

(Students will do so).

Give them five claps.

Group 2 will be our next presenter
