Anticipation-Reaction Guide Directions: Write check (√)in the Anticipation Column if the statement is correct and (x) if it is incorrect. ‹#› Anticipation Statement Reaction 1. In writing a superstem in a relational level, the students need to use two or more discrete closures directly related to separate pieces of relevant information contained in the stem. 2. The students answer that sodium chloride, unlike carbon dioxide, is an ionic compound and as such is made from a metal and a non-metal, and has a high melting point, it is soluble in water and the solution will conduct electricity. However, since it is a compound and not a mixture it is, like carbon dioxide a pure substance made from more than one element with a constant composition. Carbon dioxide is a covalent compound and therefore is formed by two non-metals, it is not readily soluble in water and does not conduct electricity. This is an example of multistructural level of SOLO model. 3. Sodium chloride is an example of an ionic compound. This is an example of unistructural level of of SOLO model. 4. Sodium chloride is an ionic compound. It is made from a metal and a non-metal. It has a high melting point. It is soluble in water, and it conducts electricity. Carbon dioxide is a covalent compound. It may be a solid liquid or a gas. It is formed by two non-metals. This is an example of multistructural level. 5. Words used for unistructural level are: identify, name,follow a simple procedure and f forward single focus problem and recite.
REVIEW What do you mean by unistructural level of SOLO Model? Unistructural Level At this stage, the learner gets to know just a single relevant aspect of a task or subject; the student gets a basic understanding of a concept or task. Therefore, a student is able to make easy and apparent connections, but he or she does not have any idea how significant that information be or not. In addition, the students’ response indicates a concrete understanding of the task, but it focuses on only one relevant aspect. ‹#›
‹#›
REVIEW What about multistructural level of SOLO Model? Multistructural Level At this stage, students gain an understanding of numerous relevant independent aspects. Despite understanding the relationship between different aspects, its relationship to the whole remains unclear. Suppose the teacher is teaching about several topics and ideas, the students can make varied connections, but they fail to understand the significance of the whole. The students’ responses are based on relevant aspects, but their responses are handled independently. ‹#›
‹#›
REVIEW What about relational level of SOLO Model? Relational Level This stage relates to aspects of knowledge combining to form a structure. By this stage, the student is able to understand the importance of different parts in relation to the whole. They are able to connect concepts and ideas, so it provides a coherent knowledge of the whole thing. Moreover, the students' response indicates an understanding of the task by combining all the parts, and they can demonstrate how each part contributes to the whole. ‹#›

Activity: Group Activity Directions: Below is a worksheet. Read item number 1 and give acceptable answers for unistructural, multistructural and relational levels of SOLO model. The worksheet is composed and provided with competency, stem, question and rationalization. The column in the acceptable answer will be your task. Do it honestly and religiously. Item 1.Note:You will be given a hardcopy for this worksheet. ‹#› Competency Stem Question Acceptable Answer Rationalization Explain how the respiratory and circulatory systems work together to transport nutrients, gases, and other molecules to and from the different parts of the body. (Grade 9) The circulatory system, which is made up of the heart and blood vessels, supports the respiratory system by bringing blood to and from the lungs. The circulatory system helps deliver nutrients and oxygen from the lungs to tissues and organs throughout the body. It also helps remove carbon dioxide and waste products. For example, when exercising, humans rely on the respiratory and circulatory systems working together to ensure an adequate supply of oxygen and essential nutrients to cells and removal of waste products from cells in the body. Unistructural State the essential gas that this athlete will require to continue exercising. The response is unistructural requiring the learner to provide a single response, which simply requires rote learning or memorization.

Anticipation-Reaction Guide Directions: Write check (√)in the Anticipation Column if the statement is correct and (x) if it is incorrect. ‹#› Anticipation Statement Reaction 1. The circulatory system is defined as the system that contains the heart and the blood vessels and moves blood throughout the body. This is an example of relational level of SOLO model. 2. Name three of the main naturally occurring greenhouse gases. This is an example of multistructural question of SOLO model. 3. Rewrite the student’s answer correctly. This is an example of unistructural level of SOLO model. 4. Progesterone is a hormone that is secreted by the ovarian corpus luteum during the first ten weeks of pregnancy . This is an example of unistructural level of SOLO model. 5. There are several factors affecting chemical reactions. In this case (food preservation), two factors may be applied. First is the temperature. Decreasing the temperature decreases the rate at which a chemical reaction occurs. Therefore, it is advisable to keep the food refrigerated. Second is the presence and concentration of the reactant. In this case, decreasing the amount of oxygen decreases the rate of food spoilage. Oxygen oxidizes enzymes that speeds up the chemical reaction in food. It also promotes growth of microorganisms. That’s why it is advisable to store food in an airtight container. This is an example of relational level of SOLO model.

‹#› Name: ________________________________ Division: _________________________ Worksheet No. 4C Position: __________________________ Region: __________________________ Plenary Session No. 7 Item 3 Competency Stem Relational Question Acceptable Answers Rationalization Predict the effect of changes in one population on other populations in the ecosystem. A food chain represents a series of events in which energy in the form of food is transferred from one organism to another in an ecosystem. The following food chain was drawn by a student during their science lesson. Explain what is likely to happen initially to the organisms in this food chain if the population of grasshoppers tripled suddenly? What might happen after 4 months? T here are two major changes likely initially. The first is that the population of chickens is likely to increase with a highly nutritious food source (i.e., grasshoppers) available as long as roosters are also present. The second is that the amount of grass available will quickly be used. After 3 months, grasshoppers will either die off due to no grass, be eaten or fly to another area where grass is plentiful. The lack of grass and grasshoppers available in the area will result in a decrease in the number of chickens. They will die off unless they are fed by hand. Requires students to move beyond what they can interpret from the diagram of the food chain. To answer this question, they must understand the connections among the organisms realizing that increases in population numbers are temporary given limited food sources.
