ANIMAL GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT

Big Ideas:
1. There are two kinds of growth and development factors which are internal factors and external factors.
2. Animal Growth and Development begins from Embrionic Phase.
3. After embrionic phase, animals experience post-embrionic phase.
4. Some animals experiencing metamorphosis and metagenesis.

Through this methods,
students will have a

Video

Reason:
Video will attract their
attention and will
reduce the probability
of boredness.

1. Students will watch the video about the growth and

development of embrionic phase in animals (could be in
human)
2. Students share their opinion about the video they
watched, share the idea about what is embrionic phase,
and the key concepts related to the embrionic phase.
3. Students and teacher conclude about what embrionic
phase is and how is the process of embrionic phase
