I. OBJECTIVES: At the end of the lesson, the students are expected to:

1. identify which of the things found in environment are producers and consumers,

2. understand the roles of producers and consumers in an ecosystem; and

3. create a graphic organizer differentiating producers and consumers.

II. SUBJECT MATTER: Interactions

Topic: Ecological Relationship: Producers and Consumers

Time frame: 45 minutes

Strategy: 5 E’s

Materials: PowerPoint presentation, cartolina, Manila paper, fill tip pen

III. LEARNING TASK

Teachers’s Activity Student’s Activity

A. Preliminaries

Good morning, class Good morning, Sir!

Before we start let us pray first…

(Checking of attendance)
Say present if your name is called…

Before taking your seats, arrange

your chairs first and pick up tiny pieces
of garbage under your chairs.
 B. Review/Drill

Before we proceed to our lesson today,

let us have first a review about our topic
last meeting. Let us have a game to test Yes, Sir!
if you still remember the topic. Would
you like to have a game class?

Alright! This time, I will divide the class

into two groups and to find your group
mates look under your armchairs to find
the color of the group where you belong.
Red group will sit here and blue group
there.

This game is called “Classify Me.”

I have here a collection of pictures and
all you have to do is to classify the
pictures if it is Biotic or Abiotic. Paste the
picture to the cartolina on the board and
locate it to the column where it belong. I
will give you 3 minutes to finish the task.
The first group who will finish first with
the correct answers will be declared as Yes, Sir!
the winner.

Am I understood class?

Your time starts now!

*Time’s up*
Alright! Let us check if your answers are
correct.
Are animals, plants, fungi, bacteria, and
protist are biotic? Why?
Very good!
Yes, Sir! Because biotic factors referred
as living things in the ecosystem. And all
living things like animals, plants, fungi,
bacteria and more are part of it.

How about the air, soil, water, light and

minerals? Are they abiotic? Why?
What an amazing performance students.
It seems like you have already learned
the factors of biotic and abiotic.
Yes, Sir! Because abiotic factors are
referred as non-living components with
chemical and physical factors. It includes
sunlight, air, moisture minerals, soil and
more.

Did you enjoy our activity?

Yes, Sir!
Do you want more?

C. Motivation
Engagement/Exploration

Let’s have another activity. Same

groupings applied. You will walk outside
the classroom or school building. All you
have to do is to list the things which you
can see and locate where this things can
be found. You will be only given 3
minutes.

Upon returning to the classroom, each

group should classify and group the
things you have listed according to their
characteristics.
Yes, Sir!
I have provided each group a cartolina
and fill tip pen.

Are you ready?

The time starts now!

Now start to classify those you have

listed.
 Yes, Sir!

Are you done?

D. Lesson Proper

Earlier, you have observed things and

explored outside and you recorded what
you have seen through classifying. Now
let us share everything what you have in
your output. I need one representative in
each group to present your work.

Alright, let’s start from Red group Yes, Sir!

followed by blue group. Is it okay for you
class?
(Students are listening)
Explanation.
Thank you class!

So what have you noticed? What do you

think are the characteristics of the things
which are in column A and column B
based on your answers? Anyone in the
class?

Thank you Mr. /Ms.!

(Volunteer student will hands up and
Another answer? I need another answer.)
volunteer.

Yes, you raised your hand Ms. /Mr.?

Thank you!
Sir?
Elaboration.
Alright, all your answers are correct. At (Students are listening)
this juncture, we will discuss the
Ecological Relationship of Producers and
Consumers.

Every food chain begins with a producer.

Plants are producers. They make their
own food, which creates energy for them
to grow, reproduce and survive. Being
able to make their own food makes them
unique; they are the only living things on
Earth that can make their own source of
food energy. Of course, they require sun,
water and air to thrive. Given these
three essential ingredients, you will have
a healthy plant to begin the food chain.

Producers can make their own food and

energy, but consumers are different.
Living things that have to hunt, gather
and eat their food are called consumers.
Consumers have to eat to gain energy or
they will die. There are four types of
consumers: omnivores, carnivores,
herbivores and decomposers.

Herbivores are living things that only eat

plants to get the food and energy they
need. Animals like whales, elephants,
cows, pigs, rabbits, and horses are
herbivores.

Carnivores are living things that only eat

meat. Animals like owls, tigers, sharks
and cougars are carnivores. You would
not catch a plant in these animals’
mouths.

Then, we have the omnivores.

Omnivores will eat both plants and
animals to get energy. Whichever food
source is abundant or available is what
they will eat. Animals like the brown
bear, dogs, turtles, raccoons and even
some people are omnivores.
Yes, Sir!
To completely understand our lesson,
you will make a graphic organizer on
what is producer and consumer. The
same grouping in the previous activity. Yes, Sir!
You will be given 5 minutes to construct.
Am I clear class?

Time’s up!

Are you done?

I need volunteers from each group to

present your graphic organizer.

IV. EVALUATION

Alright, Class, I have here an activity for

you to test if you already understand our
topic for today. I have prepared a
questionnaire for you to answer. I will
only give you 5 minutes to answer
individually. I will collect the papers
afterwards. Am I understood class?
Yes, Sir!
