I. Learning Objective Classify animals according tobody parts, movement and places where they live (BEC-PELC II.1.4)
II. Learning Tasks
A. Subject Matter: Classification of Animals According to Body Parts, Movement and Places Where They Live
1. Concept Animals can be classified according to body parts (e.g. with and without
wings; with and without webbed feet; with and without comb and wattle). Animals can be classified according to movement (e.g. if they walk/run;
jump/hop; swim; fly; cruise). Animals can be classified according to places where they live (e.g. on
land and in water).2. Process Skills
Observing, communicating, classifying, inferring
3. Value Focus Care for animals

III. Learning Procedures
A. Review (If needed/checking of assignment) B. Motivation/Presentation
Show a picture of a farm where there are lots of animals.
What animals can you see? (horse, fish, frog, duck, chicken, dog, cat, cow, carabao, goat, earthworm, snake, butterfly, bird) Today, you will classify these animals according to their body parts, movements and places where they live.

D. Discussion/Analysis
Say:Into how many ways did you classify the animals? (three ways – as to body parts, as to how they move, and as to where they live.)You can classify animals into more ways, as long as you can explain how you grouped them.Now, when you have devised a dichotomous key like in Activity 1, you can give an operational definition of an organism, just by following the levels of classification the animal has gone through. For example: I can now define an animal with comb and wattle, without webbed feet, with wings and with a head. Try and do that kind of definition with a dove, frog, carabao, worm and starfish. It’s easy. In Activity 3, notice that some animals can be classified as those which live not only in one habitat. Look at how you classified the crab and the turtle. Both are found in freshwater and saltwater habitats.
E. Generalization How can we classify the animals?We can classify animals into so many ways, as long as we can explain their groupings. We can classify them according to their:1. body parts,2. movements, and3. places where they live (habitats).
F. Application
Who among you have seen a rabbit? How does a rabbit move? (A rabbit hops and jump around.) Would you want to own a pet rabbit? If you don’t have a big backyard, do you still want to own a rabbit? Why? Do you think it is okay to place your pet rabbit in a cage? Why? What should your pet be if you really want to have a pet?
Probable answers: No, I will not have a pet rabbit if we don’t have a space in the backyard. I will just be cruel to my pet rabbit if I will keep it in a small cage. Maybe, I will just have a pair of small fishes in an aquarium filled with plants. My fishes will be happy in it. I can easily feed them with good fish food. I can easily clean their aquarium. And I have a sunny window sill to keep the aquarium plants healthy too.
IV. Assessment
Use the following classification key to describe 5 pond animals: water strider, guppy, frog, snail and earthworm.
Answers:
A water strider is a pond animal which has wings and six legs. It has also 2 antennae.
A guppy is a pond animal which has fins and no legs.

A snail is a pond animal with a shell but with no fins or legs.
An earthworm is a crawling pond animal. It has no shell, fins or legs to move around.
V. Assignment
Name 10 animals you see in your neighborhood. Classify them as to where they live, how they move and their body parts.
