-the species as being further classified into a hierarchical taxonomic
system.
 Performance Standards The learners should be able to:
-report (e.g., through a travelogue) on the activities that communities
engage in to protect and conserve endangered and economically
important species.
 Learning Competencies and The learners should be able to:
Objectives -explain the advantage of high biodiversity in maintaining the stability of
an ecosystem
Competency Code: S8LT-IVh-21
Students will be able to:

biodiversity
- Make a personal and group vision for the future in relation to
biodiversity
- Appreciate the importance of protecting and conserving our
biodiversity

C. Explore Activity
Part I: My Future World
1. You will be given a pictures of biodiversity you want to see in
your world in the future and then, suggest ways and take action to
make it happen.
2. Get a copy of the “Priority Pyramid” from your teacher. Complete
this pyramid with the conditions that you want your future world to have,
ranking them from the most important to the least. Write what for you is
the most important condition at the topmost box of the pyramid, the
next two conditions on the next level, and so on.
Part II: Making it Happen
1.Look at the different blocks (conditions) on your group pyramid.
Are you aware of anything that you or other people are already doing to
ensure that these will happen in the future? Make a list and discuss
these with your groupmates.
2. Obtain a copy of the “Making it Happen” handout from your
teacher. Read about each of the projects and choose those that you
think are making or will make significant contributions to meeting the
top three priorities in your group pyramid. For each project that your
group will choose, write a sentence or two to describe ways it is
 working to achieve the identified priority.
Part III: Future Log
1.Keep a “future log” for a week. Your log should list in bullet form,
all your activities, behaviors, speech and thoughts for each day. At the
end of each day, think about and write down how each bullet item
affects the world around you, either positively or negatively, and what
consequences it could have for the future.
2. Each day, add ways that you can do more to help preserve the
earth’s biodiversity.
D. Explain Let the students present their output in class.
Group 1 Part I: My Future World
Group 2 Part I: My Future World
Group 3 Part II: Making it Happen
Group 4 Part II: Making it Happen
Group 5 Part III: Future Log
Rubrics:
50-Presentation is well organized, clear ideas with correct content as
to the question
30-If ideas are correct but still needs improvement in the presentation
10-If the idea presentation is not correct
E. Elaborate Answer the following questions:
1. Do you want to live in a beautiful world?
2. What do you want the future world to be?
3. What things or conditions do you want to see 50years from now?
Remember that the biodiversity found in your community, are what you
need to live and survive. Use them wisely and conserve biodiversity. It
is only when you understand all of these will you realize that you cannot
afford to lose any of these, for all of you and your future, will be
affected. “ACT NOW, NO ONE CAN DO THIS FOR YOU NOR FOR
US!”
F. Evaluate Write TRUE if the statement about biodiversity is Correct and FALSE if
not.
1. Each species of vegetation and each creature has a place on the
earth and plays a vital role in the circle of life.
2. Maintaining a wide diversity of species in each ecosystem is
necessary to preserve the web of life that sustains all living things.
3. It is our moral duty to conserve Biodiversity as well our Environment
4. If the Biodiversity got lost then in near future, the survival of human
being will be threatened
5. Biodiversity can contribute to the sustainability of an ecosystem.
