Interactions
• acknowledge all levels of abilities
• addresses multiple intelligences
• offer integration of various subject
matter
• allows different kinds of interactions
(teacher-student, student-material,
student-student, teacher-teacher)
Performance
• increase motivation; better
performance
• give meaning-oriented and
content-rich classrooms

• articulates teachers’ beliefs about
teaching and learning
Inquiry Learning
• allow problem-solving
• increases student motivation
• allow exploration of big ideas
• allow time for brainstorming and
questioning
Interdisciplinary Approach- "Unity in Diversity"
Objectives:
•explain how energy is transferred in
the ecosystem;
•make an energy pyramid;
•compute the amount of energy
available for the trophic levels in an
energy pyramid; and,
•set their priorities by applying the
concept of the energy pyramid.
Review: 3-Level Puzzle
First level: Jigsaw Puzzle
Arrange the puzzle pieces to complete the
picture.
Second Level: Jumbled Letters
You will identify what is being shown by
the picture by arranging the second level which
is made up of jumbled letters.
Third Level: Jumbled Words
You will define the answer from the second
puzzle by arranging the third level which is made
up of jumbled words.

Pyramid of Corruption
Priority Pyramid
Arrange your
priorities by
applying the
concept of the
energy
pyramid.
Generalization:
Complete the following statement:
•Energy Pyramid is...
•The bigger the space that a living thing occupies
in the energy pyramid…
•As the trophic level goes higher…
Points of Integration
Based on the Theme (Pyramids of Life)
Health/HELE: Differentiating Energy Pyramid and Food
Pyramid
Social Studies: Using the Pyramid in Analyzing the Issue of
Corruption
CLVE: Using the Pyramid in Setting Priorities: Making God
the Top Priority
Based on the Skills:
Music: The Plants in Bahay Kubo
Math: Computing Energy in the Different Trophic Levels of
the Energy Pyramid
Arts: Using Available Materials in Making an Energy
Pyramid
How to Teach with
