1. The daily lesson plan outlines a science class for Year 5B students focusing on investigating living things through the theme of survival of the species and learning area of food chains. 2. The lesson involves students identifying animals and their food, classifying animals as herbivores, carnivores and omnivores, constructing food chains, and identifying producers and consumers. 3. Teaching methods include role playing, discussions, and presentations to help students meet the learning objectives of understanding food chains and being able to state animals and their food, classify animals, and identify producers and consumers in food chains.

Orientation
(5 minutes)
Example of food chain:
 Leaves eaten by Deer, while Deer
eaten by Tiger
Teacher shows picture of plants and
animals that connect together in food
chain.
Ask pupils to guess what are the
animals in each picture base on the
description given.
Teacher introduce for today’s topic.
Pupils concentrate on the picture.
Pupils try to guess the animals.
SPS:
Predicting
TS:
Making Conclusions
Elicitation of
ideas
(15 minutes)
Herbivore – deer
Carnivore – tiger
Omnivore – chicken
Teacher shows few pictures of
animals and asks pupils to identify
its’ foods and classify it into
herbivore, carnivore or omnivore.
Questions:
 Can you identify the animals in
this picture?
 What does the animal eats?
 This animal is herbivore,
carnivore or omnivore?
Pupils identify the animals in the
picture, identify its’ foods and classify
it in it’s’ group.
Expected answer:
 Deer, tiger, chicken
 Grass, deer, worms
 Herbivore, carnivore, omnivore.
SPS:
Communicating,
predicting.
Teaching aids:
ICT (slide show
presentation).
Restructuring
of ideas
(15 minutes)
 Herbivore – animals that eat plants
only.
 Carnivore – animals that eat only
other animals.
 Omnivore – animals that eat both
plants and other animals.
 Producer – plant called producer
because it can produces its own
food.
 Consumer – animal is called
consumer because they cannot
make their own food.
1) Teacher explains about herbivore,
carnivore and omnivore.
2) Teacher asks pupils to give
example of animals in each
category.
3) Teacher shows example how to
construct food chain.
4) Teacher explains about producer
and consumer.
5) Teacher asks pupils to identify
consumer and producer in food
chains given.
Pupils concentrate to the teacher
explanation.
Pupils concentrate to the teacher
explanation by using slide show
presentation.
SPS:
Communicating
TS:
Relating, analysing
Value:
Being Cooperative,
honest
Teaching aids:
ICT (slide show
presentation)

3. Application of
ideas
(20 minutes)
 Grass  grasshopper  frog  bird
 Plants  mouse deer  fox
 Paddy plant  rat  snake  eagle
 Algae  tadpole  small fish  big
fish  predatory birds
1) Teacher asks pupils to remain in
their group.
2) Teacher gives each group with
cards that contain name of plant and
animals. By using the cards, each
group will form a food chain. They
also identify the producer and
consumer.
3) Teacher asks pupils to present
their group work.
Pupils remain at their seat.
Pupils remain in their groups and
discuss to construct their own food
chain and identify the producer and
consumer.
Pupils present their works with the
guidance of teacher.
Value:
Cooperative.
Teaching aids:
Cards, paper
Reflection
(5 minutes)
Teacher asks chosen pupils to draw
mind map of animals and food they
eat at the whiteboard.
Teacher gives food chains and asks
pupils to identify producer and
consumer.
Pupils write animals and food they
eat in the mind maps at the
whiteboard.
Pupils identify producer and
consumer from food chains given.
SPS:
Making conclusion
