III. PROCEDURE:

TEACHERS ACTIVITY STUDENTS ACTIVITY


A. Daily Routine
1. Opening Prayer
2. Checking of the physical condition of the
classroom
3. Checking of Attendance

B. Motivation
To have an idea of what our lesson for today
will be, let us play a simple game. Are you
familiar with 4 PICS 1 WORD? Yes, Maam!

Good. Our game is somewhat similar to


that. All you have to do is to arrange the
jumbled letters to come up with a word that is
related to our topic for this morning. The
pictures will serve as your clues.

Are you ready? Yes, Maam!

Lets start.

(The teacher will call some students in front


of the class to play the game)

HIDDEN WORDS:
1. PARASITE
2. COMPETITION
3. COOPERATION

C. Discussion

With that, what do you think will be our (Answers may vary)
lesson for today?

For today, we will discuss the different


types of ecological relationships.

Does anybody know the meaning of


ecological relationship? Ecological relationship pertains to the
interaction between or among two species of
organisms.

Thats right!

What are the four types of ecological The four types of ecological relationships
relationships? are symbiosis (mutualism, commensalism,
parasitism), predation, competition and
cooperation.

Very good!

Lets discuss them one by one.

The first type of ecological relationship is


symbiosis. What is symbiosis, class? Symbiosis is a type of relationship between
two different organisms where one benefits and
the other is affected or unaffected or both of
them benefit.

That is right!

Symbiotic relationship has three kinds:


Mutualism, Commensalism and Parasitism

Mutualism is often referred to as the


perfect relationship. Why do you think so? Because in mutualism, both species of
organisms benefit.

Excellent!

One good example of mutualism is the


relationship between a bee and a flower. The
bee harvests nectar from the flower as source
of food. Likewise, the flower also benefits
from the bee because, as the bee harvests
nectar from the flower, some of its pollen
grains attached to it can be transferred to the
stigma of the said flower thereby enabling
cross-pollination.

Can you think of other examples? (Answers may vary.)

Let us proceed to the second kind of


symbiotic relationship which is
Commensalism.

What is Commensalism, class? Commensalism is a type of symbiotic


relationship where one species of organism
benefits while the other is not affected.

Thats right! An example of such are the


barnacles that are usually attached on the shells
of mussels and other marine animals so that
they will have a place to stay and to live.
Barnacles benefit from the mussels while the
mussels are unaffected.
Can you think of other examples?

What is the last kind of symbiotic (Answers may vary.)


relationship?

Correct!

What is Parasitism? Parasitism is the last kind of symbiotic


relationship, Maam!

Very good!

The organism that benefits in parasitism is


called the Parasite, and the one that is harmed Parasitism is a relationship in which an
is called the Host. organism benefits and the other is harmed, but
not always killed.

One good example of this kind of


relationship is the relationship between the
mosquito and human.

Who benefits from this relationship? The mosquito benefits from the relationship,
Maam.

How about the man? The man is harmed from the relationship.

(Answers may vary.)


Can you think of other example for
Parasitism?

Parasites are classified into two:


Ectoparasites and Endoparasites. Who can Ectoparasites are parasites that live outside
differentiate the two? the body of the host while Endoparasites are
those that live inside the body of the host.

Examples of Ectoparasites are ticks, flees,


mosquitoes while examples of Endoparasites
are hookworms, tapeworms, etc.
(Answers may vary.)
Do you have any questions so far?

Next to symbiosis is Predation. What is Predation is a type of ecological


Predation, class? relationship where one species of organism
kills or eats the other.

Very good!

Examples of Predation are owls that eat


mouse, and lions that eat other animals.

What do you call the organism that is eaten? Prey, Maam!


How about the one that harms or eats the Predator, Maam!
other animal?

Thats right!

In the case of the owl and the mouse, which


is the predator and which is the prey? The owl is the predator and the mouse is the
prey.

Very well said.


(Answers may vary.)
Now, can you think of your own example of
predation?

Alright. The next type of ecological


relationship is Competition. Please read the
meaning of Competition. Competition is a relationship that occurs
when two organisms compete for the same
resources.

Organisms tend to compete for food,


shelter, space, light and even mate for survival.

(The teacher will show a picture)

For what do you think these two red deer


are competing for? The two red deer are competing for space.

Lastly, is the relationship called (Answers may vary)


Cooperation. What comes to your mind when
you hear the word COPERATION? Do you
have this in your classroom?

Just like humans, animals and other (Answers may vary)


organisms also show cooperation in their
group. How? One example is the working
colony of ants. Why do you think ants stop for
a moment when they meet up?

Thats true!

Another example of Cooperation is the


herds of grazing cattle or sheep arrange
themselves so that the strongest are on the
outside. Moreover, many sets of eyes and ears
are on the look-out for possible danger. (Answers may vary)
Can you think of your own example?

Very good! It seems that the class


understood very well the lesson.. Are there any None, Maam!
questions?
D. Activity Proper
Using the Ecological Relationship Board,
match the relationship to its meaning and
example. The lights will be turned on if the
correct connection among the ecological
relationship, its meaning and examples has
been made.

E. Generalization
The teacher will call one student to sum up
the lesson being discussed.
