IV. PROCEDURES
A. Introduction
Biodiversity describes how varied are life forms in different
ecosystems. Biodiversity is a term that describes how varied living
things are in a specific area.
Organisms continually adapt to their environments, and the diversity of
environments that exists promotes a diversity of organisms adapted to
them.

Plants and animals have lived in the wild for millions of years. In
order to thrive, they developed specialized adaptations. Adaptation is a
change or the process of change by which an organism becomes better
suited to its environment. These adaptations can be physical or
behavioral.

A physical or structural adaptation is a physical feature of an

organism that has changed over time. Often these develop due to the
environment of the animal. A bird has feathers to help it fly, bears have
fur to keep them warm in the winter, and arctic marine mammals have
blubber to keep them warm in the icy water.

Camouflage and mimicry are other physical adaptations. These help

animals blend in with their environment to avoid predators. A lizard’s
body can change color, a praying mantis looks like a leaf, and many
butterflies blend in with the flowers or trees they land on.

A behavioral adaptation is something an organism does to survive.

Animals do this as a reaction to the changes in climate in their
environment. Bears, skunks, bats, and snakes will hibernate (go into a
deep sleep) during the coldest months of the year. On the other hand,
birds, deer, elk, and moose will migrate to warmer climates as the
temperature. Nocturnal and diurnal are also examples of behavioral
adaptations.
Describe differences between the two ecosystem populations and identify
which is more diverse. 

ECOSYSTEM A ECOSYSTEM B

Students will describe differences between the two ecosystem populations

and identify which is more diverse. Once students have completed their
observations, they will then be asked to infer the outcomes of each
ecosystem if certain species were to be removed.

II. DEVELOPMENT: Learning Task 1: “Spot the Difference”

Directions: From the given picture spot the difference from
picture A and picture B then answer the guide questions. Write
your answer on a separate sheet of pad paper.

Concept Formation
The following challenge questions will help you develop your
scientific and critical thinking:
1. How important is the stability of biodiversity in an ecosystem?
2. . Explain why organisms are important to an ecosystem?

1. Based on picture A and picture B, what happen to the animals

and trees?
2. What do you think is the main cause of decreasing in number
of animals in the forest?
 C. Engagement
Reduce The Issues. Directions. Complete the table below.

Environmental Issues Give ways to Reduce

Environmental Issues
Ex. Illegal Mining Stronger environmental law,
plant more trees.
1. Deforestation.
2. Illegal fishing and coral reefs
overexploitation
3. Gas Emission from factories
4. Improper Waste Disposal

D. Assimilation
Speak Your Mind. Make a slogan, on how you can share awareness on how
we can help saving our environment.
