Day 1
Objectives

Describe the effect of

environment on the life cycle of
organisms.
Objectives

1. Water to Humans
2. Sunlight to Animals
3. Air to Humans
4. Water to Fishes
5. Birds to Trees
Activity 2

Organisms to organisms relationship may also be
affected by the amount of sunlight, water and food.

Living Things Non-Living Things

INTERACTION
Beneficial Harmful
These actions and reactions (cause and effect) happens
naturally to maintain a balance in ecosystem.
ECOSYSTEM
The largest and most
complex level of organization
consists of all animals, plants
and microorganism which
function with all
environmental factors such as
sunlight, climate, soil, water,
air, nutrients and energy
Learning Task
Direction: Tick ( )the part of the ecosystem which are
called living things.

Day 2
 There are six elements
that keep the ecosystem
going.
1. Sun
2. Producers
3. Abiotic substances
4. Primary consumers
5. Secondary consumers
6. Decomposers
 Abiotic factors
-things without life.
They are also called non-
living things.
this includes:
Sun
Water
Air
Soil
 Biotic factors
-things with life.
They are also called living
things.
this includes:
Plants
Animals
Primary consumers

-consist of plant-eating
animals called herbivores.
Secondary consumers

-consist of animals that eat

other animals. They are
called carnivores.
Decomposers

-break down dead plants

and animals and turn it
into nutrients.
 Food is essential to every
living organism to carry out
life processes and important
interactions. Organisms
interact with other organism
in many beneficial ways.
However, some interactions
causes harm to other
organism.
The environment where an
organism lives is important
for their survival.
How does the interaction
in the environment take
place?
