B. Review (this will take 5 mins)

Before we proceed to our lesson, Ma’am bacteria and protozoa.

let’s have a review about unicellular
organism. Can you give me an
example of a unicellular organism?

Very good, what else? Ma’am, unicellular algae and

unicellular fungi or yeasts.

Yes. That’s correct! And why are Ma’am because they are single-celled
they called unicellular organism? organism. From the root word uni
which means one or single.
 Very good. These unicellular
organisms are single-celled and
also called prokaryotes. Now, do Ma’am Bacteria!
you have any idea if what is the
smallest type of unicellular
organism?

You’re right!

C. Motivation (this will take 10 mins)

Class, I have here a picture which

shows different words that are (students choose a word and explain)
related to bacteria. I want you to
choose one word and use it to
describe or define bacteria.

(show picture)

D. Developmental Activities
(this will take 20 mins)

Okay class, since we already

describe and define bacteria; let us
now study the different shapes of

carefully and tell me the shape of
each bacterium. (show picture)
Ma’am the bacterium on the center has
Very good. What else?
a rod shape.

Ma’am it is a spiral shaped bacterium.

Correct. And the last one?

Yes. Very good. These are the

three basic shapes; rod shaped
called bacilli, round shaped called
cocci and the spiral shaped also
called spirillum. Some exist as
single cells, others are clustered
together.
Yes ma’am!
Do you think bacteria are alive?
Ma’am because the bacteria can

Ma’am because they eat.

You’re right. Very good! What else
can make you think that a
bacterium is alive?

Ma’am because the bacteria can

Yes. What else?
move.

Ma’am they use their flagella to move.

Very good. What do they use to
move?

Yes. Most motile bacteria move by

the use of flagella There are helical
bacteria which have a specialized
internal structure known as the
axial filament which is responsible
for rotation of the cell in a spiral
fashion and consequent locomotion
and others are gliding bacteria.

Very good!
 E. Application (this will take 5 mins)

Direction: Bring out a piece of bond (students will now draw)

paper and draw the different
shapes of bacteria.
