A Detailed Lesson Plan in Science 3

I. Objectives: At the end of a 60- minute lesson, 80% of the 3-1 students are expected to:
1. identify the basic needs of human, animals and plants
2. explain how living things depends on the environment to meet their basic needs
3. recognize that there is a need to protect and conserve the environment

II. Subject Matter: Basic needs of human, animals and plants

Value focus: All forms of life are equally important
Concept: All living things depend on their environment to supply them with what they need
including food, water and shelter. Living organisms have basic needs. Plants need air, water,
nutrients, sunlight and space to grow. Animals need air, water, food and shelter. Living organisms
depends on each other and on their environment or habitat to meet their needs for survival, we call
this interdependence.

Student 1: I learned that all

living things have basic needs.

Student 2: All living things

depend on their environment to
satisfy their needs.

Student 3: It’s Important to meet

the needs in order to live.
