REVIEW
Now, before anything else, let’s have a
short review regarding our previous
lesson.
Okay class let’s have an activity I have 2

crumbled papers here. I will play a music
and the class will pass the crumbled
paper until it stops, the person who holds
the crumbled paper is the one who will
read the question and answer it, the
questions class are based on our
previous discussion. Okay class isn`t

Okay Very Good! Do you understand the
one-way flow of energy and the cycling of
materials in an ecosystem?
What do you think is our topic for today?

Okay Today we will learn about The
transfer of energy in the trophic
level: Food Pyramid
C. Presentation of Objectives For

you to know what you are heading
towards and what is expected of you, let
me present our objectives for today.
Everybody, please read.
At the end of the lesson, the learners

should be able to:
Identify the transfer of energy in the

trophic level: Food Pyramid
(Teacher will reiterate the objectives

briefly.) (student`s read)
C. Presenting Class in our previous activity we see the

examples/instance different types of organisms and their
s of the new respective level.

lesson (Engage)
(___ minutes)
Yes Maàm Ruth
(Students watching the video)
The video shows the transfer

of energy in a food pyramid.
As the level of the pyramid

increases the energy is
decreasing.
90% is lost to the environment.

Activity: Simulation Video Viewing

Now class I will show you a recorded
simulation video and I want you to
observe it for I will be asking you later
about it. Understand class?
(Video played and the students watched.)
(After watching the video.)
Questions:
What can you say about the video?
What have you observed?
Why only 10% of the energy at one

trophic level? Where are the 90%?
Now class, to test your understanding,

let us have an activity.
I will be dividing you into three groups.
I will also provide you an instructions
together with the sssrubrics and the
materials needed for the activities.
DIFFERENTIATED GROUP ACTIVITY

GROUP1: Visual Representation

Instruction: FORM A PYRAMID. Use the
arrows with the transferred energy (in a
percentage), to identify the respective
levels of the organisms and label it.

GROUP 2
Instructions: Use the illustrations to
answer the questions below.
1.Which organism has the:

a. greatest energy?
b. least energy received?

c. % of energy gained by frogs
LITERACY INTEGRATION
The 3rd group will be given a paragraph
about the transfer of energy in the trophic
level: Food Pyramid and will answer the
following questions.
PARAGRAPH
A trophic level is the position of an
organism in a food chain or energy
pyramid. The 10% Rule means that
when energy is passed in an ecosystem
from one trophic level to the next, only
ten percent of the energy will be passed
on. As you move up the pyramid,
through the trophic levels to primary,
secondary and tertiary consumers, the
amount of energy decreases and the
levels become smaller.
Questions:
1. What is the rule being used to identify
the transfer of energy?
2. Identify what happens to the amount
of energy from the bottom to the top of
the pyramid?
Explain your answer.

(Student`s present their work)

E. Discussing new Okay Class. We will emphasize how to
concepts and identify the transfer of energy in a trophic
practicing new level: Food Pyramid by checking your
skills #2 (Explore) outputs
(___ minutes)
Okay in the output made of group 1, We

called this Pyramid of Biomass meaning
the mass of living organisms in a Food
Pyramid. They used the arrows with
energy to point out the respective level of
the organisms and they labeled it
according to their trophic levels.
Does anybody here know what the Food
Pyramid is? (student respond)
In the first bar it is the energy of the

producer which Is the grass, and the
second box in the pyramid represents the
energy of the rabbit or primary consumer
and the energy of the secondary
consumer which is the snake and the
energy of the tertiary/apex consumer or
the hawk.
Okay class based on the work of group 1,

which do you think has it`s lesser energy?
Hawk Maàm
Sample expected output:
Alright very good! Let us give the group 1

a Good Job clap.
Alright for group 2 you we`re tasked to

Use the illustrations to answer the
questions below.
(student respond)
1.Which organism has the:

a. greatest energy?
b. least biomass received?
c. % of energy gained by frogs
Okay let`s check the answers of Group1.

Question
Which organism has the:
a. greatest energy?
Fruits and Vegetable
b. least energy received?
Eagle the top/apex consumer
c.% of energy gained by frogs
100%

producers or the fruits and
vegetable obtain their

Okay very good.
Okay class let`s give GOOD JOB clap for

Group 2
The 3rd group will be given a paragraph

about the transfer of energy in the trophic
level: Food Pyramid and will answer the
following questions.
QUESTIONS
1. What is the rule being used to identify (Student respond)
the transfer of energy?
2. What happens to the amount of
energy from the bottom to the top of the
pyramid?
Yes, class it is true that the amount of

energy diminishes or decreases at
each succeeding trophic level from the
base (bottom part) to the topmost/
apex trophic level of the pyramid.
Now class why do you think the amount

of energy/ biomass diminishes at each
succeeding trophic level from the base to
the topmost/apex trophic level of the
pyramid?
Again, only about 10% of energy are

transferred to the next level not 100%.
You learned also from your math class
the arithmetic sequence, to get the
energy transferred in the next level you
we`re just going to multiply the present
energy number to .10% if the unit is
percent. From the base of the pyramid to
the apex level of pyramid. Some are
