What do you see in this rotten (Each pupil will observe.)

log? Log, snail, moss, ants, fungi…

Good job!

Now why I have shown this

to you? You will know it in our
discussion.

B. Analysis

Before we start our lesson,

let us first know the meaning of
some unfamiliar words that we may
encounter.

1. What is ecology? Ecology is the relationships b/w

organisms and their environment.
Example: all animals and all
plants, etc…

2. What are organisms? Organisms are plants, animals

and other tiny living things
that may not be visible to the
naked eye.
Example: Humans, cat, dog,
fungus, yeast, bacteria, etc…
3. What is a Habitat?
Habitat is the part of the
ecosystem where an organism
lives.
Example: ocean, coral reefs,
C. ABSTRACTION dessert, trees, etc…

1. Discussion

As you can see on the board,

there is a word posted here,
everybody please read the word ‘’ECOSYSTEM’’
‘’ECOSYSTEM’’.

Now, what comes in to your mind

when you hear the word ECOSYSTEM? The pupils will write their
Write your answer on the board. answers on the board.
Anyone? Plants, Animals, biotic,
 abiotic, etc…
Very Good!

Now let’s put it altogether

what is an ecosystem? Ecosystem is a specific place
(The teacher will guide the where living things interact
pupils in answering the question.) with non-living things. It comes
from the word ecological system
or ecology from the Greek word
2. Value Integration which means ‘’HOME’’.

If this is very important, how

can we take care of our ecosystem? (Pupil will answer.)
Can you give me how can we take By preserving our Ecosystem, not
care our ecosystem? destroying any Ecosystems, etc…

3. Review
Let’s sum up what we have
discussed; I have here a graphic ECOSYSTEM is made up of living
organizer. All you need to do is and non-living things
to provide the details for each interacting with each other. And
box. Now anyone who can answer? is derived from the Greek word
meaning HOME. And it can be
Very Good! small or big ecosystem which
some lived in land and lived in
sea.
4. Activity Proper

Try to recall of what do you (The pupils will answer.)

see in a river or sea or forest
(or any ecosystem existing in the Cat, Dog, Humans, Chickens,
community)? frogs, snakes, fish, ants,
garbage, fish ponds, grass land,
etc.
Well done!

There are two components of an

ecosystem;

1. Biotic Factors
2. Abiotic Factors

Biotic Factors are all

organisms that live in an
ecosystem or living things in
short.

Wyn, Give me an example of biotic

factors.
Plants, animals, fish, whale,
shark, dog, cat, humans, mouse,
Very good! Let’s give him a YES lizard, birds, etc…
CLAP for all of us!

Plants, animals, humans, etc… (The Pupils will clap.)

Abiotic Factors are all the

non-living components of an
ecosystem.

Joy, can you please give me an

example of abiotic factors?
Sunlight, Air, Water, Soil,
 Temperature, Minerals, and
Excellent! Let’s give her a others.
WHISTLE BOMB CLAP!

There are 2 kinds of an

ecosystem, which is small and big
ecosystem, some lived in sea and
others lived on land.

Example of a Small ecosystem is

a rotten log which I present to
you a while ago. Another is a
tree, a plotted plant, and etc.
While Big ecosystem – ocean,
forest, etc…
(Show an example of a forest.)

Can you follow?

Yes teacher!
C. POST ACTIVITIES

a. Group Activity

Ecosystem in a Bottle

Divide the class into two

groups, have each group build
their own "ecosystem" inside of a (The pupils will be divided into
small container such as a can or two groups and perform the
large glass jar. Identify the activity.
problems that each Ecosystem may
encounter. Let them report on the
Ecosystems that they made.

How do you find the activity

class?
I find it very excited because
all are actively participating
Have you learned the lesson? and they enjoy the activity….

D. Application Yes teacher!

Now that we have understood

Ecosystem, do you think Ecosystem
is important to us? Yes teacher.

Why? Ecosystem is very important

to us because it sustain our
needs, the plants and animals
and other non-living things that
interact to living things in the
environment.

IV. EVALUATION

word Small if the kind of ecosystem is small and Big if the kind of
