Reviewing the previous lesson

(Elicit- 5 minutes)

From the previous lesson, you have learned the flow of

energy between organisms that can be shown by a food
chain or a food web and how materials cycle in an
ecosystem.
(Students are raising

Water cycle
Yes, Norilyn.
Oxygen-Carbon cycle
Nitrogen cycle

That’s correct!
In a food chain, give the components of the trophic The components of
levels. trophic levels are
Primary producer,
primary consumers,
secondary consumer,
tertiary consumer and
decomposer.

Excellent! None, ma’am.

Do you have any question regarding our past lesson?
I appreciate that you thoroughly understand.

Establishing a purpose (motivation)

(ENGAGE-10 minutes)

Let’s proceed to our new lesson, which is all about the

Impact of human activities in an ecosystem. Who wants
to read our objectives?

Yes, Prince. (Students are raising

their hands)

At the end of the lesson,

the learners should be
able to:
a. identify the
human activities
that affects the
ecosystem;
b. recognize ways
on how to
minimize human
impact on the
environment;
and
c. initiate desirable
practices to
conserve the

Let’s understand our lesson, I will group you into 4.

The classroom has four learning areas. Each of them

offers a different topic that you will observe and
examine. Write your notes as you go on.

I will assign each group to a designated learning area.

Learning Area 1: The Earth Is Warming Up

Directions:
1. Examine the model and picture.
2. What is the picture about?
3. Is Global warming real or not? Explain your
answer briefly.
4. Give 3 things that can contribute to
global warming.

Learning Area 2: What Happened to the Trees?

Directions:
1. Examine the model and pictures. What do you
think happened?
2. Cutting down trees to use the land for something
 else rather than a forest is called deforestation.
Give 3 reasons why people do this.
3. What will happen if we continue cutting down
our trees?
4. What can we do to save the trees?

Learning Area 3: Where are the Animals?

Directions:
1. Examine the model.
2. Global warming heavily affects the lives of
animals. Some species have a great decline in
population. Some are already endangered. Cite
one reason why animals are important.
3. Give 3 things that animals can provide.

Learning Area 4: What Can We Do?

Directions:
1. Examine the pictures.
2. List down ways indicated in the picture on how to
lessen the negative impact of human activities in
our ecosystem.

Let us examine and hear your observations in the (The students will

Each group shall have a designated speaker to present

what they’ve observed in a learning area. Each group
will only present their observations in the first learning
area that they visited.

Human activities such as deforestation, burning emission
garbage, CO2 emission through factories and use of
vehicles, and kaingin can contribute to global warming
to arise which results to destruction of environment.

In order to lessen our impact on the environment, we

can do several things. We can save our trees through
Reforestation, recycling and conserving energy.
Through this, we can also help our animals to thrive and
survive in their environments.
