III. PROCEDURE:

Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity

A. PRELIMINARY ACTIVITIES

Good Morning Class. Good Morning Teacher.

Let us pray. All are praying…

a. Checking of attendance

Who are absent today? None Teacher.

Very good no absent.

b. Review

What was our topic that we One pupil will answer… Teacher
discuss last meeting? our last topic last meeting is
Anybody who can summarize? about deforestation.

Very Good! Let’s clap our hands.

c. Motivation

Have you seen a rotten log? Yes teacher!

I have here an example of a

rotten log.
What do you see in this rotten (Each pupil will observe.)
log? Log, snail, moss, ants, fungi…

Good job!

Now why I have shown this to you?

You will know it in our
discussion.

d. Unlocking of difficulties
 Before we start our lesson,
let us first know the meaning of
some unfamiliar words that we may
encounter.

1. What is ecology? Ecology is the relationships b/w

organisms and their environment.
Example: all animals and all
plants, etc…

2. What areorganisms? Organisms are plants, animals and

other tiny living things that may
not be visible to the naked eye.
Example: Humans, cat, dog,
fungus, yeast, bacteria, etc…

3. What is a Habitat? Habitat is the part of the

ecosystem where an organism
lives.
Example: ocean, coral reefs,
dessert, trees, etc…
B.LESSON PROPER

a. Presentation of the Lesson

As you can see on the board,

there is a word posted ‘’ECOSYSTEM’’
here,everybody please read the
word‘’ECOSYSTEM’’.

Now, what comes in to your mind The pupils will write their
when you hear the word ECOSYSTEM? answers on the board.
Write your answer on the board. Plants, Animals, biotic, abiotic,
Anyone? etc…

Very Good!

Now let’s put it altogether what

is an ecosystem? Ecosystem is a specific place
(The teacher will guide the pupils where living things interact with
in answering the question.) non-living things. It comes from
the word ecological system or
ecology from the Greek word which
means ‘’HOME’’.
b. Analysis and Discussion

Try to recall of what do you see

in a river or sea or forest (or (The pupils will answer.)
any ecosystem existing in the Cat, Dog, Humans, Chickens,
community)? frogs, snakes, fish, ants,
garbage, fish ponds, grass land,
etc.
Well done!

There are two components of an

ecosystem;

1. Biotic Factors
2. Abiotic Factors

Biotic Factors are all

organisms that live in an
ecosystem or living things in
short.

Give me an example of biotic

factors. Plants, animals, fish, whale,
shark, dog, cat, humans, mouse,
lizard, birds, etc…
Very good! Let’s give him/her a
YES CLAP for all of us!
(The Pupils will clap.)
Plants, animals, humans, etc…

Abiotic Factors are all the

non-living components of an
ecosystem.

Can you please give me an example

of abiotic factors? Sunlight, Air, Water, Soil,
Temperature, Minerals, and
others.
Excellent! Let’s give him/her a
WHISTLE BOMB CLAP!

There are 2 kinds of an

ecosystem, which is small and big
ecosystem, some lived in sea and
others lived on land.

Example of a Small ecosystem is a

rotten log which I present to you
a while ago. Another is a tree, a
plotted plant, and etc. While Big
ecosystem – ocean, forest, etc…
(Show an example of a forest.)

Can you follow?

Yes teacher!
c. Generalization

Let’s sum up what we have

discussed; I have here a graphic
organizer. All you need to do is
to provide the details for each
box. Now anyone who can answer?
Very Good!
Now, who can tell us the summary
of our lesson for today with the
help of the graphic organizer?
ECOSYSTEM is made up of living
and non-living things interacting
with each other. And is derived
from the Greek word meaning HOME.
And it can be small or big
ecosystem which some lived in
land and lived in sea.

C. POST ACTIVITIES

a.Group Activity

Ecosystem in a Bottle

Divide the class into two

groups, have each group build
their own "ecosystem", biotic and
abiotic. Identify the problems
that each Ecosystem may encounter.
Let them report on the Ecosystems (The pupils will be divided into
that they made. two groups and perform the
activity.
How do you find the activity
class? I find it very excited because
all are actively participating
Why do you say so? and they enjoy the activity….
Have you learned the lesson?
Yes teacher!
b. Application

Now that we have understood

Ecosystem, do you think Ecosystem
is important to us?

Why?
The pupils will answer on the
board…

c. Value Integration

If this is very important, how

can we take care of our ecosystem?
Can you give me how can we take
care our ecosystem? Yes teacher.

Ecosystem is very important to us

because it sustain our needs, the
plants and animals and other non-
living things that interact to
living things in the environment.

(Pupil will answer.)

By preserving our Ecosystem, not
destroying any Ecosystems, etc…

IV. EVALUATION

A. Identify if what kind of ecosystem is given below. Put the

word Small if the kind of ecosystem is small and Big if the kind of
Ecosystem is big on the space provided.

______ 1.Sea _______ 6. Mangroves

______ 2. Rotten log _______ 7. A pond

______ 3.Grassland _______ 8.A Fern

______ 4.Forest _______ 9.A Plant

______ 5.Coral Reefs _______ 10.A dessert

B. Describe an ecosystem in your own understanding.(5pts.)

V. ASSIGNMENT

1. Give ways on how we can preserve our ecosystem.

 2. Study the role and relationship in an ecosystem.

To do:

Ecosystem is a specific place where living things interact with non-

living things. It comes from the word ecological system or ecology
from the Greek word which means ‘’HOME’’.

Ecology is the relationships b/w organisms and their environment.

Example: all animals and all plants, etc…

Organisms are plants, animals and other tiny living things that may
not be visible to the naked eye.
Example: Humans, cat, dog, fungus, yeast, bacteria, etc…

Habitat is the part of the ecosystem where an organism lives.

Example: ocean, coral reefs, dessert, trees, etc…

There are two components of an ecosystem;

1. Biotic Factors - are all organisms that live in an ecosystem

or living things in short.
2. Abiotic Factors - are all the non-living components of an
ecosystem.

Two kinds of ecosystem

1. Small ecosystem ex. Rotten log, a plant, a fern, etc…

2. Big ecosystem ex. Ocean, dessert, grassland, etc…
