The methods used were interview, photo and video elicitation, and document analysis. The highly diverse forest ecosystem in Sampunong Bolo Wild Life Sanctuary has a great potential as materials in teaching science in all grade levels according to science teachers in Northern Iloilo. They were very interested and willing to utilize local biodiversity in their places as teaching materials in science. They wanted to encourage Local Government Units (LGU) to help them create teaching materials like videosand pictures to be used in their teaching but they have a negative notion about accident happen in some educational trip in the past. All science teachers were able to create an activity title. They even identified in which part of the lesson these activities will be used. The results showed that local biodiversity can be integrated into teaching science. The use of localization and contextualization is an important approach to help learners enjoy science teaching and learning. Also, this study will educate not just students but also teachers that our local biodiversity is important and most of them are now dying. Teachers must take a move to protect and preserve our local resources.\u003Cbr>Keywords: Science pedagogy, K 12 science curriculum, local biodiversity, teaching materials, grade 3 to 10. |\n| --- |\n| E-mail: [fernantupas@yahoo.com](fernantupas@yahoo.com). |\n\nINTRODUCTION  \nPedagogy is both an art and science of teaching. In terms of science teaching, studies of Koballa (1986) and Krajciket al. (2000) proved that inquiry learning strategies increased science achievement and cognitive development. Currently, choosing activities for particular pedagogy to enhance learning requires concern of teachers and experts. The use of various teaching procedures to different types of learners must be carefully considered (Loughran et al. , 2012) . Also, using pedagogical content knowledge-guided lesson study (PCKLS) in chemistry by teachers has a significant difference compared to traditional methods and students increase performance in conceptual understanding and problem-solving skills. The method was effective; thus, this study suggested that this intervention will also be  \nused in Biology, Earth Science and Physics (Lucenario etat. , 2016) . Today, teachers are finding arrays of teaching strategies such as creative outputs, interactive approach, [etc. to](etc. to) give effective approach to improve learning outcome (Bhowmik et al. , 2013) . With all the problems and issues concerning the implementation of the shortest basic education curriculum in the world (Tupas and Matsuura, 2011), the Department of Education (DepED) shifted to 12 years in basic education known as K12 Basic Education Program that started in 2012. However, after 7 years of the implementation of the new curriculum; the same problems such as no textbooks, lack of equipment, as well as classroom were being experienced by both teachers and students. But one unique feature of this new curriculum is encouraging teachers to use local  \nresources.  \nIn Region VI, Division of Iloilo, the low performance in the National Achievement Test (NAT) is one common problem that needs certain intervention.
