I.Objective: Describes how animals adapt to a particular environment for protection and survival.

Values:Love for the animals Work harmoniously and cooperatively

II.Subject Matter:Protective Adaptations of Animals to their EnvironmentA.Science Concept/Idea: Various animals live and survive in different environments. The body covering of animals in the tropics is not thick. They come in a vas Iety of colors that blends with their surroundings. Polar animals like the bear have body structure that enables them to live and reproduce in this cold environment. Desert animals can withstand high temperature. They can go without water or food for a longer period of time than others. An animal which can travel only under the heat of the sun in a desert is the camel. Animals that live in cold places have layers of fats and feathers or hair to keep their body warm. Their body color is usually white, enabling them to blend with their surroundings.

B.Science Processes:Describing, observing and inferring

C.Materials: Pictures of animals that live in different environments; toy animalsReferences: Module in Science V, pp. 69-71Into the Future: Science and Health V, pp. 56-58BEC

III.Procedure:A.Preparatory Activities:a.ReviewGive examples of animals that eat grass, meat and animals that eat both plants and meat.What do you call these group of animals?b. Checking of Assignmentc.Motivation:Do you know how animals protect themselves in the environment where they live?How do animals adapt themselves in very cold places? In the tropics? In very hot place?

B.Presentation:There are toy animals in front, choose one then tell to the class the name of the animal, and where it lives.Activity Proper.How do animals protect/adapt themselves in their environment?

C.Concept Formation:a. How do bears adapt in very cold place? How do they get their food?b. The pupils will group the animals in the pictures according to the environment where they live, how they survive and protect themselves from their enemies.

D.Application:Where will you put the newly hatched chicks if their mother is not there?How do cats survive? What environment do they belong?How do fish in the sea/ocean adapt themselves for protection and survival?
