PROCEDURES Elicit: A. Reviewing previous lesson or presenting the new lesson Show an aquarium as example of an ecosystem. Questions: 1. Which level of biological organization is shown in the picture? 2. What makes it an ecosystem? B. Establishing a purpose of the new lesson Engage: WHAT MAKES ME GROW? Observe the potted plant in front of you. (The teacher will ask the following questions.) Q1. What do you think are the non-living things needed by this plant in order to grow? Q2. What conditions are needed by the plant to grow healthy? Q3. Are plants considered living organisms? Why? C. Presenting examples/instances of the new lesson D. Discussing new concepts and practicing new skills #1 Group Activity Let’s discover the interdependence among biotic and abiotic components within an ecosystem. Let’s explore different ecosystem. Complete the table below by giving atleast three abiotic and three biotic components you have identified in the place given. Explore: Group 1 – Group 2 – Group 3 – Group 4 – Group 5 – Group 6 – E. Discussing of the new concepts and practicing new skills #2 Students will accomplish and present their outputs. This question will be answered during the checking of students' output. What are the things found in the (fish pond, mini-forest, school garden, school, ground)? Which of these are living things? Which of these are non-living? Observe the things that you identified as living. What do they have in common? Observe the things that you identified as non-living. What do they have in common? Do you think that living and non-living things depend on each other in order to survive? Why do you think so? What makes living things different from non-living? Explain: Elaborate: F. Developing Mastery One of the members of each group will discuss their answer to the activity. The teacher will facilitate misconceptions and give support for clearer understanding of the concept. Below are the Concept Guide of the lesson to be discussed by the teacher. G. Finding practical applications of concepts and skills in daily living “Life within a small world” Study the picture given and answer the following questions. Q1. Do you think life is possible within the jar? Explain your answer. Q2. What might happen to the fish if plants are not present? Why? Q3. If the animals are not around, what might happen to the plants? Why do you think so? Q4. Are there factors outside the aquarium that influence the growth of the organisms inside it? Cite at least one if any. H. Making generalizations and abstractions about the lesson Story about biotic and abiotic components Do you think both biotic and abiotic components are important to the ecosystem? Why or why not? I. Evaluating learning Directions: Identify the following as biotic component or abiotic component. Write your answers on 1/4 sheet of paper. Evaluation: J. Additional activities for application or remediation As a student how are you going to show appreciation to the biotic factors in the environment? Extend: Slogan or poster making, painting, compose a song or a poem. V. REMARKS VI. REFLECTION Prepared by: RICA S. FERRAN Teacher I Checked by: SHIRLEY H.
