“May I request Ms. Maria to give me the (Maria will tell who are the absent for today)

B. Review of the Past Lesson

“Now, let us have a short review of our

previous discussion about organisms and how
they obtain energy in which, again, tells us
that all organisms have sources to gain
energy.”

“What are the organisms that can produce “Ma’am, the organism that can produce their
their own food? Yes, Jose? own food is the producers or the autotrophs”

“Very Good. So, if the Autotrophs can “Ma’am, the organisms that cannot produce

are two metabolic phases, what are they?
Can I hear from Justine?”

“Very Good. Anabolism is considered as the

constructive phase while the catabolism is
the destructive phase of metabolism.

C. Motivation

“Now, I want you all to hold your breath for

five seconds. Let us try it, hold your breath,
5,4,3,2,1.

Now, what did you feel? Yes, George?”

“Ma’am, it was suffocating.”

“Exactly! So, what do you think will happen if

there is no oxygen? Yes Grace?” “Ma’am, it will be difficult for us to live.”

“Precisely! And what do you think will happen “Ma’am, we will probably die.”
if there is no food? Yes, Allan?”

ELICIT

“Let us have a guessing game entitled Guess

the Gibberish. I know, you are familiar with
this. So, you just need to guess the random
word or phrase which pops up on the screen.
You must guess the right phrase. You can
also recite to me your answers or chat it in

to answer each item. Is it clear? Okay, let us “Yes Ma’am.”

“Very good. By the way, what did you

observe with the words given earlier? Do you
think they pertain to one concept? Yes Joyce?
“Ma’am, I think those words pertain to only
one concept, which is photosynthesis.”
“That is correct! All the words that were
given earlier pertain to one concept which is
photosynthesis.

EXPLORE

“Precisely! Let us try to look at this video.

(Introduction to photosynthesis will be given
through a short video).

Now, simple photosynthesis is using light to

put things together. And plants use this
process to make their own food. In other
words, photosynthesis is the process by
which plants use the energy from sunlight to “Yes Ma’am. During photosynthesis, light

Yes Troy?”

“Very good. Carbon dioxide is taken into the

leaves of the plant, and water is carried from
the roots into the leaves. Then trapped light

compound which we can find in our food and

“Nice observation, another? Yes Aldrin?” “Ma’am, eggs, milk, and flour are the
ingredients needed to make a cake.”

the ingredients, and on the right side, we can
find the finished product. What do you think “Ma’am there is heat because it is used to

products. What do you think is the purpose “Ma’am sunlight is needed to produce

“Very good. In other words, sunlight speeds

up the process of making food. And this is
the summary equation for photosynthesis.”

“That is also correct. Since oxygen is given

importance.

“Very good! Chloroplast captures the sun’s

“Very well said. Oxygen found in the

atmosphere is taken into the body through
our nose, and this will combine with glucose

mouth to produce water in the form of
sweat; carbon dioxide, the gas that we
breathe out; and energy, the fuel that we

“Class, based on the discussion, I have some

questions here. Don’t worry, this is just easy.
