What I KNOW?
Look around you? What do you see?
DIRECTION: In your notebook make a
table similar to the one below.
With Life Without Life

divide what we see around us?

2. Based from the table, what is the

basis of your classification?

3. Where would you place yourself

in the grouping? Why?

4. Where would you place air and

food in the grouping? Why?

1. Based from the picture how will you define

ecosystem?
2. What are the different things that can be found in
an ecosystem?
3. What do the things that you identified as living
have in common?
4. What do the things that you identified as non-
living have in common?
WHAT I WONDER?
Go to your respective groups
and answer the worksheets

1. What are the biotic components in the forest
community?
2. What are the abiotic components of this
community?
3. What living things do you think can be found?
a. under the stones/rocks? ________

 A – abiotic factor
B – biotic factor

Group 2
Put A (for abiotic) or B (for
biotic) in the squares to name
whether the factor is an abiotic
or biotic part of this ecosystem.
GROUP 3
Place either a square or circle.
= ABIOTIC * How many abiotic factors can you
see in the picture?
= BIOTIC * How many abiotic factors can you
see in the picture?
