“Unity in Diversity” The Interdisciplinary Teaching Approach
Interdisciplinary Teaching Approach involves combining two or more topics, disciplines or subject matter that historically has been taught separately into one class.

Interactions acknowledge all levels of abilities addresses multiple intelligences offer integration of various subject matter allows different kinds of interactions (teacher-student, student-material, student-student, teacher-teacher)
P e r f o r m a n ce increase motivation; better performance give meaning-oriented and content-rich classrooms lessons have wider application
D e pth discover relationship that exist across the areas/disciplines in the real world develop deeper understanding of the theme/topic time can be devoted to making choices, reflecting, exploring
Professional growth “Theme teaching is team teaching.” support reflective practice and collegial sharing connect to scho o l/dis t ric t /st a te / na t ional standards articulates teachers’ beliefs about teaching and learning
Inquiry Learning allow problem-solving increases student motivation allow exploration of big ideas allow time for brainstorming and questioning
Objectives: explain how energy is transferred in the ecosystem; make an energy pyramid; compute the amount of energy available for the trophic levels in an energy pyramid; and, set their priorities by applying the concept of the energy pyramid.
Review: 3-Level Puzzle First level: Jigsaw Puzzle Arrange the puzzle pieces to complete the picture. Second Level: Jumbled Letters You will identify what is being shown by the picture by arranging the second level which is made up of jumbled letters. Third Level: Jumbled Words You will define the answer from the second puzzle by arranging the third level which is made up of jumbled words.
First Level
Second Level FOOD WEB Third Level a set of interconnected food chains by which energy and materials circulate within an ecosystem
FOOD WEB a set of interconnected food chains by which energy and materials circulate within an ecosystem
Bahay Kubo
Heat and Light
Energy Pyramid -a diagram of the feeding relationship among organisms which shows the amount of energy available at each level of the food chain -depicts that energy decreases as the trophic level goes up
Energy Pyramid
Level 1 100% 10% of 100 10% of 10 10% of 1 Level 4 0.1% Level 3 1% Level 2 10% Only 10% of the energy from the previous level is left for the next level.
Level 1 3,300 cal. 10% of 3,300 10% of 330 10% of 33 Level 4 3.3 cal. Level 3 33 cal. Level 2 330 cal. 100% of 3,300
Group Activity: Using the materials given to you, make an energy pyramid. Compute for the energy available in every trophic level if the First Level has 60, 291 calories. (7 minutes)

Priority Pyramid Arrange your priorities by applying the concept of the energy pyramid .
Generalization: Complete the following statement: Energy Pyramid is... The bigger the space that a living thing occupies in the energy pyramid… As the trophic level goes higher…
Points of Integration Social Studies: Using the Pyramid in Analyzing the Issue of Corruption CLVE: Using the Pyramid in Setting Priorities: Making God the Top Priority Based on the Skills: Music: The Plants in Bahay Kubo Math: Computing Energy in the Different Trophic Levels of the Energy Pyramid Arts: Using Available Materials in Making an Energy Pyramid Based on the Theme (Pyramids of Life) Health/HELE: D i f ferentiati n g E n ergy Pyramid and Food Pyramid
How to Teach with Interdisciplinary Approach Pre-Instructional Planning Introduce the Methodology to Students Take it to the Classroom Practice Interdisciplinary Thinking Provide feedback Assessment
Challenges Facing Interdisciplinary Teachers Become sufficiently knowledgeable Find the appropriate level of interdisciplinary complexity Convince students Avoid polarity Offer a balance examination Promote the synthesis of ideas
