converted into usable
cellular energy through
a series of biological
processes.”
Generalization:
“Organisms require
energy to function, and
they acquire it through
different means
depending on their
nutritional type. Energy
is transformed into ATP,

E. Which of my teaching
strategies worked well?
Why did these work?
Visual aids and
simulations helped clarify
abstract concepts.
Group flowchart activity
improved collaboration
and recall of steps.
Using diagrams and
concept maps was
effective because it
allowed learners to
visualize and trace
energy flow clearly.
Relating concepts to
daily activities (like
eating and exercising)
increased engagement
and comprehension.
Comparative diagrams
(autotrophs vs.
heterotrophs) and visual
flowcharts worked well in
illustrating the abstract
concept of energy flow.
Using relatable daily-life
scenarios and visual
aids (like energy flow
diagrams) helped
students connect
abstract ideas to real
experiences.

(e.g., projector or
access to internet
videos/simulations) to
maximize visual
learning resources.

G. What innovation or
localized materials did I
use/discover which I wish to
share with other teachers?
Designed a localized
Photosynthesis Comic
Strip in Filipino and
English for easier
understanding among
students.
Created a “Sun to Cell
Energy Journey” comic
strip in Filipino-English
to simplify the process
for visual and struggling
learners.
Created a localized
“Energy in Life”
worksheet using
common Filipino food
sources to show energy
input and ATP
production in cells.
Developed a local food-
based energy activity
where students relate
Filipino meals to energy
functions in the body
(e.g., rice = energy for
walking, thinking).
