I. OBJECTIVES Describe the effects of the interaction among organisms in

their environment
A. Content Standard The learners demonstrate understanding beneficial and
harmful interactions occur among living things and their
environment as they obtain basic needs
B. Performance Standard The learners should be able to construct a prototype model
of organism that has body parts which can survive in a
given environment.
C. Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELC) Describes the effects of interactions among organism in
(if available write the indicated MELC) their environment
D. Enabling Competencies
(if available write the attached enabling competencies)

4. What do frogs do with the insects?
___________________________
5. Do you observe mosquito in the fourth picture?
What is this called?
__________________________
6. What living things did you find in the fifth picture?
__________________________
7. Why do we need to study these organisms and the
effect of their interaction to the environment?
__________________________
Goal Orientation:
The learner will read the objective that is expected of them
as indicated in the module.
B. Development
The learners will answer the questions below as part of
identifying what they already know. They will refer to their
modules to identify the task they need to accomplish.

Before you start your lessons about the effects of the

interaction among organisms in the environment, you need
first to answer the following challenges to test your
background knowledge about the lesson.
A. Choose the letter of the best answer. Encircle the
letter with a correct answer.
1. What do you called the interaction between the
bees and the flowers of a guava tree?
a. Commensalism c. Parasitism
b. Mutualism d. Competition
2. What does the interaction between a fern and a
tree called?
a. Commensalism c. Mutualism
b. Parasitism d. Competition
3. What is the type of interaction that exists if the
mosquito bites you or one in your family?
a. Competition c. Parasitism
b. Predation d. Mutualism
4. What type of interaction does plants occupying the
same space?
a. Mutualism c. Predation
b. Parasitism d. Competition
5. What kind of interaction do frogs and insects in a
pond created?
a. Mutualism c. Predation
b. Parasitism d. Competition

B. Write the correct answer of interaction among

organisms on the space provided. Find the answer
in the box below.
__________ 1. Butterfly and the flowers of watermelon
__________ 2. Orchids and the branch of tree
__________ 3. Snake and frog in the pond
__________ 4. Lice and human
__________ 5. Shrubs, trees, and grasses in one area

Competition Mutualism

Predation Parasitism

Commensalism

What score did you get? Compare your answer in the

key to correction provided.
If you got a perfect score then, you did a great job! This
is a proof that you have a broad knowledge of the subject
of our lesson. You can still review it and learn new things
again.
If your answer is not high enough, don’t worry. This lesson
will help you to understand the concepts that you can
apply in your daily life. Study this lesson carefully and you’ll
 C. Engagement Different Interactions and its’ Effects
Video Presentation: https://youtu.be/PY7T--DePII

1. What are the different interactions of living things in

the environment?
2. How do you describe the effects of these
interactions among organisms in the environment?
3. What are some of the beneficial effects?
4. How about the harmful effects?

Protect Environment, Save Lives

Create a poster of an ecosystem about a theme
“Protect Environment, Save Lives”

D. Assimilation Analyze the following situations. Give the effects of each

interaction of organisms on the organisms themselves or in
the environment. Use the table below to prepare your
answer.
1. Male elephants fight each other so that the
dominant one will get to breed with the female.
2. Barnacles, small sea animals attach themselves to
the body of the whale to get foods and move from
one place to another.
3. The pine beetle lays eggs in the branches of the
pine tree and then when the larvae are hatched,
they fed on the leaves of the tree.
4. The lichen consists of a fungus and an algae
growing together. The fungus gets food from the
algae, and the algae gets a place to live in.
5. Pitcher plant catches insects for their food.

V. REFLECTION Create a journal entry. Choose one plant or animals in
nature, and write two types of relationship that the organism
has in its environment and what is the effect of this
interaction on the ecosystem.
