QUARTER II: “I Need You, You Need Me!”

A. ACTIVITY: Dead or Alive?

Questions:
1. What is your observation about the picture above?
The picture shows a dead planet and a living
planet.

2. What is your idea about a dead planet? What about a living

planet?
Dead planet: A planet that cannot sustain life.
 No existence of life or living organisms such as
trees, animals, and humans.

Living planet: A planet that can sustain life.

With the existence of living organisms like trees,
animals, and humans.

3. What will you choose: a dead planet or a living planet? Why?

A living planet, because we humans and other
living organisms need a living planet to sustain our
life.

4. How will you relate the picture to the changes happening to

our environment today?
Answers may vary depending on the observations
and ideas of the students in relation to
environmental issues.

Task 1: Biotic or Abiotic?

Living Things (Biotic) Nonliving Things (Abiotic)

Example: Deer, coyote, frog, Examples: Sunlight, water,

plants, fish, dragonfly, air, etc.
insects, turtles, etc.

Questions:
1. What are the two (2) basic components of an ecosystem?
a. Living Things (Biotic)
b. Nonliving Things (Abiotic)

2. Differentiate living things (biotic) from nonliving things

(abiotic)?
a. Living Things (Biotic) – component of the ecosystem
which has life: plants and animals.
b. Nonliving Things (Abiotic) – component of the
ecosystem which has no life: sunlight, water, and air.
3. How do organisms interact with each other and with their
environment?
Ecological relationships describe the interaction among
and between organisms. Some interactions are
beneficial; others are harmful. There are also interactions
in which populations of organisms are neither benefitted
nor harmed. Organisms cannot survive without the
presence of nonliving things (sunlight, water, air, etc)
since these are essential part of the life processes.

4. What will happen to the environment if there are no living

things?
 If there are no living things, the environment will not exist
since environment encompasses interactions involving
both living and nonliving things that interact together.

5. What about if there are no nonliving things?

If there are no nonliving things, the environment will not
exist since environment encompasses interactions
involving both living and nonliving things that interact
together.

Ecological Relationships
Answers may vary.

Predation:
Examples: bear eating a fish, Tiger eating a deer, snake eating
a frog.

Competition:
Examples: fighting lions for food, fighting lion and tiger for food.

Mutualism:
Examples: The butterflies collect nectar on flowering plants, in
return, flowering plant can reproduce through the pollen grains
attached to the butterfly’s body and dropped to the ground and
grow.

Commensalism:
Examples: Barnacles attached on whales body.

Parasitism:
Examples: lice feeding blood on dogs, leech feeding blood on
humans.

BDRRMC (Barangay Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council).

Questions 1 – 3: Answers may vary

Possible Answers:
1. Yes
2. Pictures A recall my frightening experience with typhoon Pablo
last December 04, 2012.

movement or path of
typhoon.
B / The pictures show the
manhunt operation of SAF
44 in Mamasapano.

 D. Deepening:
Task 2: Eye Witness
To find the Total Distance:
dT = AC + CB + BC
= 9m + 4m + 4m
dT = 17 m

Task 3:
The distance from A (initial position) to D (final position) is equal to 7 km.
The displacement is the vector AD whose magnitude is 7 km and its direction
is to the West.

dT = AB + BC + CD
= (-3 km) + 7 km + 3 km
= 4 km + 3 km
dT = 7 km

E. Application:

Task 4: Wreck it All

a. Distance traveled:
dT = 3 m (your house) + 3 m (friend’s house)
dT = 6 m

b. Displacement:
dT = 3 m – 3 m
= 0m

F. Synthesis:

1. Scalar quantity means that distance is expressed as magnitude only. It

is expressed in units such as meter, kilometer, feet and the like.

Vector quantity means that displacement is expressed as magnitude

with the corresponding direction.

2. Distance is usually described as the total path length. It is the length

between an identified reference point and a designated position. It is a
scalar quantity.
 Displacement is the measure of how far an object has moved in a
particular direction from its original position. This is usually described
as the length between the initial and the final position or the change in
position including the sign of the change.

3. Distance. Because Christian’s mom measures how far will Christian be

going from their house.

 QUARTER IV: DON’T CUT ME DOWN!

B. DISCUSSION

Answer the following questions:

Q1. Describe the picture.

The picture shows excessive cutting of trees.

Q2. What do you call the human activity that cuts too many trees?
Deforestation

Q3. What are the effects of excessive cutting of tress in our

environment?
Global warming, deforestation, loss of habitat, soil erosion, and
flood.

Q4. What is the importance of trees to humans?

Trees provide food for humans, used for building houses,
lumber and paper, provide oxygen, and also, trees provide
protection to humans from ultra-violet rays.

Q5. What are the benefits of trees to our environment?

Trees help prevent water pollution. They act as sponge that
filters the water naturally and uses it to recharge ground water
supplies. Trees also slow water runoff and help prevent soil
erosion. Trees combat climate change. They absorb carbon
dioxide, removing and storing the carbon while releasing the
oxygen back into the air. Trees absorb odors and pollutant
gases.

Q6. In what way you can help conserve trees in your locality?
Stop cutting trees, plant trees, follow and obey laws, ordinaces
and programs implemented related to conservation of trees.

D. DEEPENING

TASK 2: Use Me!

Based on your learning, what are the uses of trees to us and to our
environment?
Trees provide food for humans, used for building houses,
lumber and paper, provide oxygen, and also, trees provide
protection to humans from ultra-violet rays.
 Trees help prevent water pollution. They act as sponge that

dioxide, removing and storing the carbon while releasing the
oxygen back into the air. Trees absorb odors and pollutant

E. APPLICATION

Which of the two pictures A or B is the best place to live? Why?

Picture B, because picture B clearly shows healthy and clean
environment.

TASK 4: Suggest and Apply

Give at least 5 ways that you can suggest to conserve our trees.

1. Protect trees that grow in your neighborhood

2. Planting more when you see trees cut down
3. Consuming fewer paper products
