Common Ideas in Reasons:

It is good to know and familiarize those ideas and information about this topic for us to be
aware and knowledgeable about the deepest concept and importance of ecosystem.

Enduring Understanding/Generalization:

The students will understand that ecosystem is composed of life-forms and the nonliving
environment they live in. The variation of organisms in the environment contributes to its
stability. Ecological balance can be disrupted by environmental changes and human activities.
 C-E-R Questions:

1. How do interactions in the ecosystem influence ecological balance?

2. How do humans contribute to ecological collapse?

3. How important is species biodiversity?

4. EQ: How does the population size of each species affect the ecosystem?

Value Integration:

Realizing the importance of practicing waste segregation. The proper waste disposal, minimal use
of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, consumption of organic food, and reducing plastic use are
only some of the many practices’ humans should observe to minimize damage on the environment.
