FEBRUARY 1, 2018
I. OBJECTIVES
At the end of a 60-minute period, the Grade Eight students should achieve the
following with 75% proficiency level:
1. Describe the transfer of energy in trophic levels
2. Explain the importance of the transfer of the energy from one organism
to another
II. SUBJECT MATTER
TRANSFER OF ENERGY IN TROPHIC LEVELS
A. Reference
Science 8 Learner’s Module. Campo, Pia C. et al. 2013. P273
B. Materials
Visual aids, pictures, video clip, manila paper, markers
C. Ideas
Producers- autotrophs or the organisms that can produce their own food through
photosynthesis
Consumers- heterotrophs or the organisms that can’t produce their own food
and feed on the producers or other consumers
Food chain- a hierarchical series of organisms each dependent on the next as a
source of food
Food web- a system of interlocking and interdependent food chains
Symbiosis- relationship between two or more organisms that live closely
together Biomass- the total mass of organisms in a food chain or a food web
D. Processes
Describing, identifying
E. Values
Collaboration

In yesterday’s report, we encountered a lot of Includes all the living things in an area,
terms and one of them was ecosystem. What interacting with each other, and with
is ecosystem? their non-living environment.
Okay, so an ecosystem doesn’t only include
the biotic and abiotic factors but also the
interactions between each other.
Some interactions are beneficial, some can
be harmful to the other organisms and there
are interactions where organisms neither
benefitted nor harmed.
Interaction with other species is important for
survival. The quote “No man is an island”
doesn’t only apply to humans, but also to all
organisms. We need each other to survive.
To survive, what do you think is our most Our most essential need is food and
essential need in our everyday life? water.
Why do we need to eat food? To obtain nutrients and energy that will
enable us to move, grow, repair
damaged tissues and reproduce.
So, in an ecosystem, what are the main The main sources of energy are plants
