Every teacher whether old or new ones needs quick and

easy-to-use instructional materials to help them impart

lessons to the students. Using songs can be an easy

way for teachers who are trying to help their students to

cope up with their lesson. Aside from it is appropriate

and fulfilling, your students will not realize how much

they are learning just by using a song. “Music makes

learning a great adventure.” Singing connects your

students, especially the struggling ones, to the joy of

learning. (Hachmeister, 2010)

“Learning is well organized when it is richly meaningful

to the learner” (Mursell, 1954). He also stated that

significant interest and intelligibility are the two factors of

meaningfulness.

According to a site called Super Simple Learning (2014),

one great tool for teaching is music. Good songs will

continue to run around their heads helping them

remember and understand what is being delivered by

the music especially when it is authentic. Learners pick

up the lessons if it is incorporated with a song because

singing is what people love to do.

Ferguson stated that “music stimulates many others

than the purely musical area of the mind”. It is not only

the music itself functions as the „music lover‟ but can

also be used in other fields such as academics.

According to Edgar Dale (1954), audio and visual

materials have a high degree of interest for students.

Through the implementation of this musical instruction,

students will pay more attention to the lesson.

ECOSYSTEM(Tune: Dati by Sam Conception and Tippy Dos Santos)

I

Ecosystem: Interaction of all things on Earth

There are two structures in an ecosystem

Abiotic and Biotic are these two factors

These factors interact. Interactions are called

symbiosis

II

Mutualism, Parasitism, Commensalism

In mutualism, they both benefit, they need each other

Parasitism is where one is harmed and the other

benefits

Commensalism: benefits and the other is not affected

Bridge

Biotic factors are living things

Abiotic factors are non-living things

Chorus1Everything is connected to everything else

2Everything must go somewhere or become other

things3There is no such thing as free lunch for everybody

These are the three rules

Rules of ecosystem

Request for Permission

I am Lazzel Natalia Mista, a senior student taking up BS

Mathematics and Science Teaching from UPLB. I am currently taking my

Special Problem entitled “Multiple Intelligence Based Instruction for

Musically Intelligent Learners”. This study aims to determine the

effectiveness of Multiple Intelligence Theory on Grade 7 students on a

topic in Science (Ecosystem). This also aims to provide a supplementary

instructional material for musically intelligent students.

I would like to ask a permission to conduct my study in your

school (University of the Philippines Rural High School) and my target

respondents are at least one (1) section from Grade 7. This study will only

be conducted for two (2) meetings. The first meeting will be the Multiple

Intelligence Test for the students which they will determine their individual

dominant multiple intelligences, the second meeting will be the pre-test

about the chosen topic, the activity, and the post-test.

Thank you very much for your kind consideration and I am

looking forward for your permission. God bless you.

Sincerely yours,

Lazzel Natalia B. Mista
