A. Reviewing the Before we start our lesson, do you still remember our last Yes, Teacher, it’s all about the
previous lesson topic? nervous system.

Very good! Let’s see if you still remember out previous Yes, Teacher!
topic by answering some of my questions about it, are
you ready class?

system?

Okay, can you give me all the three? The nervous system is made up
of the brain, spinal cord, and the
nerves.

Very good! Give him/her 5 claps. (The students clap 5 times)

The nervous system is made up

How about you, can you repeat what he/she just said? of the brain, spinal cord, and the
What are the three main parts of our nervous system? nerves.

Excellent, now you are ready for our next topic. Are you
Yes, teacher!
ready class?
B. Establishing a Now class, let me ask you this,
purpose for the
lesson Do you have pets at home? Yes, teacher!

What kind of pets? We have cats and dogs, teacher.

I see, that’s good. Because in this lesson we will tackle

on how animals are classified.

Some of you have pets at home, but do you know where

are they classified as? No, teacher.

Well then, let’s proceed, like I said earlier, I want you to

listen attentively and participate in our activities. Is that Yes, teacher!
understood class?
C. Presenting
lesson starters / But before that, let us first play this game entitled, “Guess Yes, teacher.

will receive a prize. Do you understand the mechanics
class?

It’s all about animals, teacher.

Settle down now class. Based on the game, do you have
any idea on what is going to be our topic?

Good guess, Our topic for today is all about, Vertebrates

and first on the list of vertebrates is going to be the
mammals. Don’t worry class it will be a fun and exciting
lesson, to make it all happen, we have here our
objectives for today, keep in mind that after this
discussion you will be able to:

●Identify the characteristics of vertebrates: mammals,

●Show appreciation for the importance of caring for

animals or pets through oral recitation.

●Present a concept map of a mammal with its

characteristics.

Yes, teacher.
Is everything clear, class?

D. Discussing new Now class, I prepared a song for you, do you know the Yes, teacher!
concepts and song ‘trouble is a friend’ by Lenka?
practicing new
skills Okay that’s good, forget your troubles because I

I will sing it first, and as you look at the lyrics and keep up Yes, teacher!
with the melody, I want you to sing with me, is that
understood class?

Mammal is vertebrate

With milk for the young, in order for them to grow,

We mammals are vertebrates, we have backbones and

spinal cords, just like fishes, birds, reptiles, amphibians.

We’ve got backbones and spinal cords, which is a part of

who we really are, now you know why mammals are
vertebrates...

Did you have fun class?

That’s good to hear, now based on the song, what are

Vertebrates?

Exactly! The presence of a backbone is a common Yes, teacher!

characteristic among vertebrates because it provides
support and houses the spinal cord. Vertebrates have backbones and
spinal cords, teacher!
The vertebrate group is large and diverse, so I’m going to
show you some of the groups within vertebrates besides
mammals, we have reptiles, fishes, birds, and

amphibians.

Hello, lady Kangaroo!

She has backbone, teacher!

And for our topic today, to focus on mammals, I have
brought here a visitor from Australia, meet Lady
Kangaroo. Say hello to her class.

She has fur, teacher!

For cold weather, teacher.

None, teacher.
Lady Kangaroo is a native animal from Australia. Now,
she is also a mammal, why do you think so? Do you have
any idea based on our song earlier? Yes, teacher!

Very good! Having a backbone is the main trait that’s why

lady kangaroo, a mammal, is a vertebrate. It gives them
structure or support for the spinal cord and onto the brain.
She gives birth, teacher.
Give me more ideas class,

Nice observation, why do you think she has fur?

Okay very good, mammals have hair or fur to serve as Viviparous.
protection from the weather.

In addition to that, they are also called endotherms. Do A milk, teacher.

you have any idea about this class?

Okay, endotherms or also known as warm-blooded

animals, it simply means that they can regulate their body Yes, teacher!
temperature, so even if it’s hot or cold, they can adjust. Is
that clear class?

More ideas on how Lady kangaroo is a mammal, give me

one.

Very good! Female mammals are known for giving live

birth, or giving birth to an alive species. In scientific term,
we call this Viviparous, can you say it again class?

Okay good, of course when there’s baby, it needs to drink

what?

Precisely! mother mammals have this what we call,

mammary glands. They are able to produce milk because
of these glands. In addition, the term mammals have
 originated from the Greek word, “mamma” which means
breast. Do you understand now class?

Very good!
E. Developing Now will you enumerate the five main characteristics of a They have, backbones,
mastery (leads mammal again. mammary glands, hair or fur,

Assessment) warm-blooded.

Very good! Now knowing those characteristics, can you Horses, cats, dogs, elephants,
give me more examples of mammals? lions, tigers, and etc.

That’s excellent class! By knowing these characteristics,

you have now given correct examples of mammals. Fun That’s awesome, teacher!
fact, Whales are also mammals, although they live on
water they are not actually grouped as a fish. Also, bats
are the only mammals that can fly!

Now class, are humans, mammals too? Why? Yes, teacher, because humans
give live birth and give milk to
their babies.

Very good! You’re improving your critical thinking skills,

keep it up!

F. Finding practical Now class, to really test if you understand our lesson, you

and colored markers, each group will create and present
a concept map of a mammal that you can find in your
community, In the concept map, write the characteristics
of your chosen mammal to really see if it is one. You
have 5 minutes to do it, Take note that designing and
presenting your concept map also matters because here
are your rubrics for grading:

Are you ready class?

Okay, do your best, class!

G. Integrating Now class, I have a question, what is the Teacher, they can be our

 Okay very good!, how do we protect them? By not harming them, teacher.

Precisely! for example you have female cat, and it gave birth to Don’t take away the kittens from
kittens, what you should and shouldn’t do? their mother, give them comfortable
place.
Very good class!

H. Making

Excellent! Now, can you give me the five classifications of Amphibians, reptiles, mammals,
vertebrate animals? fishes, and birds.

Very good! Out of the five, we tackled 1 of them, what are Mammals, teacher!
they?

What are the characteristics of mammals again? They have, backbones,

mammary glands, hair or fur,
viviparous, and endotherms or
warm-blooded.

Very good!

Now, What do you call it when a vertebrate gives birth to

alive children? Viviparous, teacher!

You are all very good class! Now you’re ready for our last
activity.
V. EVALUATION Activity: Matching type
(Evaluation phase) Match the corresponding description about the
characteristics of a mammal.

activity)
