LEARNING STRAND 2
I. OBJECTIVES
A. CONTENT STANDARDS/FOCUS This lesson will make learners more aware of the importance of the environment
by providing you with the information about ecosystems.
B. PERFOMANCE STANDARDS/ ♦ Explain what an ecosystem is;
TERMINAL OBJECTIVES ♦ Identify the components of an ecosystem;
♦ Describe the role of the components of an ecosystem; and
♦ Differentiate natural ecosystem from man-made ecosystem
C. LEARNING COMPETENCIES/ ENABLING ♦Differentiate among population, community, and ecosystem;
OBJECTIVES ♦ Identify the components of an ecosystem; and
♦ Differentiate biotic components from abiotic components of an ecosystem.
II. CONTENT Ecosystems and their Components

III. LEARNING RESOURCES

2. Module/Learner’s Materials Pages Lesson 1 – The Ecosystem
3. Additional Materials from Learning Google

B. Other Learning Resources ♦Video or picture of an ecosystem
IV. PROCEDURES
A.Springboard/Motivation(Establishing a *Weekly Pre-Test (See attached)
purpose for the lesson) *There is a saying that no man is an island. It means nobody can live alone.
Everyone needs people and other living and nonliving things in order to survive.
This lesson is about the interaction between living and nonliving things around
you.
B. Activity (Review of Previous lesson/s or **Present the etymology of the word ecosystem.
presenting the new lesson (The word ecosystem is split into two parts: ecological and system. Ecological
refers to the relationship between a living thing and where it lives.
For example, a monkey lives on a tree for protection. It lives in the forest because
the forest provides all the food that the monkey needs. A system is something
that you do over and over. It is similar to your daily routine (waking up, going to
work, going home, etc.). When you combine the two words you come up with
ecosystem. This is what a living thing usually does with its surroundings, over and
over again.)
C. Analysis (presenting examples/instances of *Present examples of different environments/ecosystem.
the new lesson) (Ask: What do you find in an environment?)
*Enumerate and let learners write their responses on the board.

D. Discussing new concepts and practicing * Explain important terms such as biotic factors, abiotic factors, organisms,
news skills (sub-activity #1) species, habitat, niche, population, community, ecosystem and ecology
*Let learners regroup their responses into biotic and abiotic factors.
*Show another sample of an ecosystem and let learners do seatwork on
identifying biotic and abiotic components through a semantic web.
*Discuss the biotic and abiotic interactions: The survival of an organism in an
ecosystem depends on the delicate balance of energy, food, and other factors.
*Discuss the following
-What does the soil do for the plants?
-What do the plants give the animals?
-How plants and animals keep the soil fertile?
-Can an organism survive without the other organisms? Why?

E. Discussing new concepts and practicing new

skills #2 *Discuss using a graphic organizer the abiotic components of an ecosystem such
as light or solar energy, water, air, temperature, and soil.
*Discuss the biotic components such as producers (autotrophs), consumers
(heterotrophs) – herbivores, carnivores, omnivores, and decomposers
(saprophytes)

F. Abstraction (Making generalizations about ♦ The environment refers to everything that surrounds an organism.
the lesson) ♦ The environment has both biotic and abiotic components. The biotic part of the
environment is made up of all living things in the environment whereas the abiotic
part is made up of all nonliving things in the environment.
♦ An ecosystem is made up of a community of organisms that are in constant
interaction with their environment.
♦ Species is a group of organisms that can and normally reproduce offsprings
that are themselves capable of reproduction.
♦ The place where species lives and grows is its habitat.
♦ The role that species play in its habitat is its niche.
♦ A group of organisms of the same species living together in a particular area
make up a population.
♦ A community is made up of several populations that live together in the same
area and depend on each other for food.
♦ The sun is the main source of energy in any ecosystem. It gives off light energy
which is utilized by plants in the food-making process called photosynthesis.
♦ The abiotic components of an ecosystem includes water, soil, and air. The
presence or absence, as well as quantity and quality of these components affect
the living components of an ecosystem.
♦ The biotic components of an ecosystem can be grouped into producers,
macroconsumers, and microconsumers.
♦ Macroconsumers are further grouped into herbivores, carnivores, and
omnivores.
G. Application (Developing Mastery) Present an ecosystem and let them identify the following:
Biotic Components-
Abiotic Components-
Environment-
Community-
Population-
Consumers-
Producers-
Organisms-
Habitat-
H. Valuing (Finding practical applications of No man is an island. Nobody can live alone. Everyone needs people and other
concepts and skills in daily living) living and nonliving things in order to survive.
