A. PRELIMINARY ACTIVITIES

“Who is our prayer leader for today?” (says the name of their classmate)

(prayer) (prayer)

“Good Morning Class” “Good Morning Teacher Princess”

“Pick-up the pieces of paper on the floor (Pick-up the trashes and arrange the
and arrange your chairs.” chairs)

(Checking of Attendance)
“Who are absent for today?” (Says the name of the student that is
absent)
B. REVIEW OF PAST LESSON

“What have we discussed last Friday?” (raise their hands)

“Yes __________” “Asexual reproduction in animals”

“Good! Who can describe asexual “Asexual reproduction takes place when a
reproduction in animals?” new organism is formed by a single
parent.”
“Yes __________”

“Very Good! Who can give an example of (raise their hands)

animals that reproduce through asexual
reproduction?”

(call at least 5 students) (lizard, starfish, sea anemone, bacteria,

worms)

“Thank you! Remember that asexual (listen attentively)

reproduction does not need one male and
one female parent to produce a young
organism.”

1
 “Do you still remember the methods in (raise their hands)
asexual reproduction? What are they?”

“Yes __________” “Binary fission, budding and regeneration.”

“I have here pictures; I want you to identify

what method of asexual reproduction are
the following. Raise your hands if you want
to answer.”

(raise their hands)

(Sea Anemone)

“Yes _________” “Binary fission”

“Very good. What is binary fission?” “Binary fission occurs when a parent
animals divides itself in two.”

(raise their hands)

(Earthworm)

“Yes _________” “Regeneration”

“What is regeneration?” “Regeneration occurs when a new animal

develops from a detached body part of the
parent animal.”

2
 (raise their hands)

(Hydra)

“Yes _________” “Budding”

“When does budding occur?” “Budding occurs when an outgrowth of the

parent organism develop into a new
organism.”

“This means that the three methods of

asexual reproduction are binary fission,
budding, and regeneration.”

C. MOTIVATION

“I have here a video about our topic for this (listen attentively)
morning. We will watch it, however you
have to follow our standards once I play
the video.”

Standards:
1. All eyes and ears are on the video.
2. Do not talk to anyone while watching.
3. Understand the idea of the video.
4. You may take down notes of important
or unfamiliar words.

(plays the video) (watch the video)

“Did you understand the video?” “Yes!”

“Based on the video, what do you think is (raise their hands)

its main idea?

“Yes __________” “Sexual reproduction”

“What is sexual reproduction in animals?” (raise their hands)

“Yes __________” “Sexual reproduction needs one male and

one female parent to produce a new
organism.”

“Good! Can you give me some example of (raise their hands)

the animals mentioned in the video?”

3
 (call at least 3 students) (shark, frog, and dogs)

“Very Good! These animals undergo

sexual reproduction.”

“In the video, what are the two kinds of (raise their hands)
fertilization?”

“Yes ________” “Internal and external fertilization”

“Very Good!”

D. LESSON PROPER

“The term reproduction was mentioned in (raise their hands)

our video. Again what do we mean when
we say reproduction?

“Yes ________” “Reproduction is the ability to make new

(paste the word reproduction) individuals.”

REPRODUCTION
“Very Good! It is the biological process of (raise their hands)
producing new organism. What do you call
the young animal?”

“Yes ________” “Offspring”

“Offspring is the product of the

reproductive process of animal or plant.”

“How can you describe sexual (raise their hands)

reproduction?”

“Yes ________” “It involves one male and one female

parent.”

“Sexual reproduction needs both one male (listen attentively)

and one female parent to produce a new
organism or offspring.”

“Animals also produced sex cells by their

sex organs. These are called gametes.”
(paste the word)

GAMETE
“There are two kinds of gamete, one for (raise their hands)
male and one for female. Do you have any
idea what are they?”

“Yes __________” “egg cell and sperm cell”

4
“The female gamete is called egg cell and
the male gamete is called sperm cell.”

“Gamete contains information. What (raise their hands)

information do you think it contains?”

“Yes __________” “The genes of the parents.”

“Very Good! It contains the information of

the offspring. This information is what we
call genetic identity.”

“Why do you think gametes are (raise their hands)

important?”

“Yes _________” “Gametes are important in reproduction

because it is their union that makes new
organism.”

“Very Good! These gametes unite for (raise their hands)

reproduction to happen. What do we call
the union of sperm and egg?”

“Yes __________” “Fertilization”

“Thank you! In sexual reproduction, there (raise their hands)

are two types of fertilization. Can you
name the two?”

“Yes __________” “Internal and external fertilization”

“The two types of fertilization are internal

and external fertilization.”
(paste the word)

INTERNAL FERTILIZATION

EXTERNAL FERTILIZATION

“Why do you think it is called internal (raise their hands)

fertilization? Anyone?”

“Yes _________” “When we say internal fertilization, this

means that the male animal releases
sperm cells into the body of the female
animal to fertilize an egg cell.”

“Very Good! “Internal fertilization, in which

the eggs are retained within the
reproductive tract of the female until after
they have been fertilized by sperm
inserted into the female by the male.”

“The embryo can either develop inside the

female body until it is born alive or develop

5
 inside an egg laid by the female until it
hatches. Most land animals undergo
internal fertilization.”
(raise their hands)
“How about external fertilization?”
“When we say external fertilization it
“Yes ________” happens when a female animal releases
egg into the environment to be fertilized by
the sperm cells also released by a male
animal into the environment.”

“Good! In external fertilization, both types

of gametes are shed into water and the
sperm swim or are carried by currents to
the eggs.”

“I have here 5 mystery boxes. Each box (listen attentively)

contains an animal or insect. I will give you
a trivia about the animal inside and you will
guess what it is. Do you understand?”

“We will also try to identify if they undergo

internal or external fertilization.”

BOX #1

“Trivia for box #1; This animal sweat (raise their hands)
through their footpads. What animal is
this?”

“Yes ________” “Dog”

“Is it a dog?”
(reveals the animals)

“Very Good! It is dog. What type of “Dogs undergo internal fertilization.”

fertilization do you think dogs belong?”

“It is in internal fertilization.”

BOX #2

“Trivia for box #2: This animal live on land (raise their hands)
and their habitat must be near swamps,
ponds or in a damp place. This is because
they will die if their skin dries out. What
animal is it?

“Yes ________” “Frog”

“Is it a frog?”
(reveals the animals)

“Very Good! It is frog. What type of “External fertilization”

fertilization do you think frog belong?”

“It is in external fertilization, because frogs

lay their gametes in the water.”

they are very sensitive to
vibrations. What animal is it?”

“Is it a turtle?”

7
 This action is called 'autonomy'. What
animal is it?”

“Yes ________” “Lizard”

E. GENERALIZATION

“Did you understand the sexual

“Yes teacher!”
reproduction?”

“Do you have any questions?”

“None teacher!”
“If you do not have any questions, I will
give each of you a piece of paper. For 5
minutes I want you to list down 3 things
you have learned today, 2 things you don’t
understand and 1 thing you wish we have
elaborated more.”

8
 F. APPLICATION
“I will group you into 5. Each group will create a venn diagram that shows the
differences and similarities of internal and external fertilization. You have 10 minutes to
finish you’re your work then present it in the class.
