A complete, ready-to-teach week of Science for Grade 3: Term 2, BCO Week 2 (September 21–24, 2026): Living Things Grow, Respond and Reproduce. Built from the Budget Course Outlay (BCO) of the DepEd Schools Division of Negros Occidental and the Term 2 standards of the DepEd Grade 3 Science Three-Term Budget of Work. Lesson plans are pre-dated to the BCO dates.

Now with a Daily Lesson Plan (DLP) for every lesson day. Each week has a folder DAILY LESSON PLANS (DLP) with a separate DLP (Word, editable) for each lesson day: 4 DLPs in this pack, in the ILAW template (Intentions, Learning Experience, Assessing Learning, Ways Forward) with Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) built in.

Describe the characteristics of living things: they grow, respond, and reproduce.

Objectives per lesson (word for word from the BCO)

• Lesson 1 (09/21) – Living Things and Their Characteristics: dentify living things and recognize that they have characteristics that distinguish them from non-living things.
• Lesson 2 (09/22) – How Living Things Grow: describe how living things grow and give examples of growth in plants, animals, and humans.
• Lesson 3 (09/23) – How Living Things Respond: explain how living things respond to changes in their environment and provide examples from everyday life.
• Lesson 4 (09/24) – How Living Things Reproduce: describe reproduction as a characteristic of living things and give examples of how plants and animals produce offspring

Other days in this BCO week: 09/25 Remediation/ Enhancement. They appear in the weekly plan so the whole BCO week is accounted for. Every Remediation/Enhancement day has a ready-made two-track plan, printable cards and a short slide deck.

How the lessons are built

• Lessons use the 4A’s (Activity, Analysis, Abstraction, Application) inside the ILAW format (DO 16, s. 2026).
• The teacher is never left hanging. Every activity lists what to prepare and when, a cheap local substitute for each material, a tip for every step, the result learners should get, a back-up plan if the demonstration fails, support and extension ideas, and safety notes.
• Generalization is drawn out of the learners with guided questions, and every answer is a complete sentence shown with its question.
• Slides use the “Paper Cut-out” look (layered craft paper, soft shadows) with big Century Gothic text and every question mark in Arial for Grade 3 readers: a picture for every word, step and example, a small picture beside every instruction line, and answers that appear on click.
• Pictures are AI illustrations (marked “Illustration (AI-made)”). Diagrams and tables are drawn by code so that labels are exact. An automatic check compares every picture with the text next to it.
