A complete, ready-to-teach week of Science for Grade 3: Term 2, BCO Week 5 (October 12–15, 2026): Air, Food, Water and Shelter: What Living Things Need. 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.

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.
