These steps should be done across the week. Spread out the activities appropriately so that students will learn well. Always be
guided by demonstration of learning by the students which you can infer from formative assessment activities. Sustain learning
systematically by providing students with multiple ways to learn new things, practice their learning, question their learning
processes, and draw conclusions about what they learned in relation to their life experiences and previous knowledge. Indicate the
time allotment for each step.
1. Preparation/Introduction
Greetings, Prayer, Checking of Attendance
2. Motivation
In your Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao o ESP class, you discussed already about
“Pagtatamo ng bago at ganap na pakikipag-ugnayan (more mature relations). Class,

Guide Questions:
1. What relationships are shown in the pictures?
2. What other relationships do you know of?
3. Is this relationship limited to human beings only?
There is also a relationship that exist even in animals not only in human.
And that is our topic for today.
The different ecological relationship that can be found in our ecosystem.
 A. Activity
ACTIVITY 1
Let us have a game. I will show you a series of letters. Arrange them properly to find
the hidden words.

MMTAUUILS - MUTUALISM
OIMTTNCPEIO - COMPETITION
ASISMAPRIT - PARASITISM
MMNSIMOCEALS - COMMENSALISM
TPEAONRDI - PREDATION

To further understand better about the different ecological relationship. Let us do an

activity first.
Activity 2: Let’s be pair!
Directions: There’s a picture randomly placed on your respective chairs. Wear this
picture. Find a partner whom you think a relationship can take place. Discuss with your
chosen partner with what will happen when you pair with each other. Present your work
in front for 2 minutes.

B. Analysis
1. When can you say that the relationship is;
• Commensalism?
• Mutualism?
• Parasitism?
• Predation?
• Competition?
 2. Why do living organisms need to interact with one another?
Individual organisms live together in an ecosystem and depend on one another. In fact,
they have many different types of interactions with each other, and many of these
interactions are critical for their survival.
It can affect tier ways on how to survive such as one category of interactions describes
the different ways organisms obtain their food and energy.
C. Abstraction
Ecological relationships describe the interactions between and among organisms within
their environment.
• What are the five ecological relationships?
• How will you describe each ecological relationships?
Commensalism
- a kind of relationship where one
organism is benefitted by the other
organism without causing any harm

MUTUALISM

- Both organisms are getting benefits from each other. (Give and take relationship)

PARASITISM

- One organism is benefitted, and the other organism is harmed.

- Parasite: the organism that is benefitted.
- Host: the organism that is harmed.

C. Guided Practice
Abstraction

PREDATION

- One organism is being killed and eaten by another organism.

- Predator: the organism that kill and eat another organism
- Prey: the organism that is eaten or the victim

COMPETITION

- A relationship where two different organisms compete or fight for the same food
or nutrients to survive.
 D. Application
The students will analyze the given picture about symbiotic relationships.

Orchid and Tree Leopard and Hyena

Carabao and Heron Mosquito and Human Skin

Commensalism (Orchids and Tree)

1. Which organism is benefitting?
2. which organism is benefitted, and which is not harmed?
Mutualism (Carabao and Heron)
1. What does the heron do on the carabao’s head? Does it get benefit from this?
D. Independent Practice
Application 2. Why does the carabao let the heron be on its head? Does the carabao get
benefit from the heron?
Parasitism (Mosquito and Human Skin)
1. Which organism is benefitted?
2. Which organism is harmed? Why is this organism harmed?
Predation (Lion and Zebra)
1. Which organism is benefitted?
2. Which organism is harmed or eaten by the other organism?
Competition (Leopard and Hyena)
1. What are the two organisms doing?
2. Why do they need to fight?

Based on the activity, what are the symbiotic relationships that exist in the
ecosystem?

Why should the farmers avoid killing snake in the farm?

E. Assessment
QUIZ: Write the kind of relationship that exist in the pictures. Choose your answer in the
word pool.
Commensalism Mutualism Parasitism

E. Evaluation Predation Competition

What value do we learn from this relationship symbiotic relationship?
