Detailed Lesson Plan On Food Chain
Detailed Lesson Plan On Food Chain
I. Learning Objectives
At the end of the lesson the students are expected to:
1. demonstrate the process of food chain
2. determine the links in a food chain
3. construct a food chain
II. Subject Matter
1. Topic
“Food Chain”
2. Skills
demonstrating a food chain
determining a food chain
constructing a food chain
3. References
Book (science book in grade 5)

4. Instructional Materials
Cartolina
Pentel pen
Coloring materials
5. Cooperate in Community services
a. Animals that eat ONLY PLANTS are called herbivores (or primary consumers).
b. Animals that eat OTHER ANIMALS are called carnivores.
c. carnivores that eat herbivores are called secondary consumers
d. carnivores that eat other carnivores are called tertiary consumers
3. Animals and people who eat BOTH animals and plants are called omnivores.
4. Then there are decomposers (bacteria and fungi) which feed on decaying matter.
These decomposers speed up the decaying process that releases mineral salts back
into the food chain for absorption by plants as nutrients.
The further along the food chain you go, the less food (and hence energy) remains
available.
The energy pyramid shows many shrubs & grass providing food
and energy to zebras. Note that as we go up, there are fewer
zebras than shrubs & grass and even fewer lions than zebras ... as
we go further along a food chain, there are fewer and fewer
consumers. In other words, a large mass of living things at the
base is required to support a few at the top ... many herbivores are
needed to support a few carnivores.
Food chain always starts with a green plant…. (All plants are producers)…which is eaten
by an animal. (All the animals in a food chain are consumers)..
Food chain follows just one path of energy as animals find food.
3. Generalization
Food chains follow a single path as animals eat each other, thus food chain require all
living things need food to give them energy to grow and move.
4. Group activity
The students will be grouped into four groups. Each group shall construct their own
food chain and apply how important food chain in our life. Present it in the class ( five minutes).
IV. Evaluation
Answer the following: write TRUE if the Statement is True and FALSE if it is False.
TRUE1. A food chain always start with a plants and ends with an animals.
FALSE 2. Animals that eat other animals are called herbivores.
TRUE 3. Humans are considered as omnivores.
FALSE4. A frog is eaten by a plant is an example of a food chain.
TRUE 5.plants in a food chain is called producers.
V. Assignment
In a 1/8 piece of card board; each of the student shall make a poster about a
food chain. To be pass next week.
