- Learners observe mammals, reptiles, insects and amphibians through videos and pictures (or relevant specimen such as frogs, lizards, cockroaches). - Learners are guided to use think pair-share to identify and discuss the animals they have observed. - Learners describe the physical features of the animals stated in terms of their limbs, body covering, height, shape, size, where they live, how they move and what they eat. - Learners, in a matching activity, use flashcards to match specific animals with their identified physical features.
