I. OBJECTIVES  

The learners demonstrate an understanding of:

A. Content Standards  Organisms interacting with each other and with their
environment to survive
The Learners should be able to:
B. Performance Standards   Conduct a collaborative action to preserve the
ecosystem in the locality
C. Differentiate biotic from abiotic components of an ecosystem
S7LT-IIh-9
 Describe interdependence among the components of the
Learning Competencies / Objectives environment;
  Write the LC code for each  Construct a terrarium; and
 Infer what happens to organisms if their environment is
not able to provide them with their basic needs

II. CONTENT  Interdependence in Ecosystem

Identify whether the following pictures are biotic
component or abiotic component of an ecosystem.

  new lesson
1.Clean the glass jar. Make sure it is free of any chemical. Let
it dry
2.Drop some stones into the jar. Do this very carefully so that
the jar will not break. This stones will serve as the first layer
in your terrarium.
3.Add garden soil up to around 1/5 the height of the jar. Press
 the soil gently to have a firmer layer.
4.Wet the soil using the medicine dropper. The amount of liquid
must not be too much or too little.
5.Using the long stick, carefully put in the small plant. Make
sure that the plant is stable.
6.Drop in the dead twigs and add the insects.
7.Cover the jar and put it in a place where it can receive just
D. 1. Which are the biotic components in your terrarium? How
about the abiotic components?
2. How can plant survive in the covered jar? Where can it get
Discussing new concepts and practicing
the needed nutrients for photosynthesis?
new skills #1
  3. How can the insects survive? From where will they get the
oxygen?
4. What will happen to the insects when the plant dies? Why?
E. Discussing new concepts and practicing
  new skills #2
F. Developing mastery
  (Leads to Formative Assessment 3)
G. Finding practical applications of concepts
Explain the sayings: “No man is an Island”
  and skills in daily living
H.
Why a terrarium is considered a mini ecosystem?
Describe the interdependence among the components of the
ecosystem.
A terrarium is an example of a mini ecosystem. An
ecosystem is a community of living organisms in conjunction
with the nonliving components of their environment (things like
Making generalizations and abstractions
air, water and mineral soil), interacting as a system. These biotic
  about the lesson
and abiotic components are regarded as linked together through
nutrient cycles and energy flows. As ecosystems are defined by
the network of interactions among organisms, and between
organisms and their environment, they can be of any size but
usually encompass specific, limited spaces (although some
scientists say that the entire planet is an ecosystem).

1. A plant needs water, radiant energy, minerals, oxygen,

and carbon dioxide to live. This statement shows that an
organism depends on which of the following?
A. abiotic components B. biotic components
C. climate D. minerals
2. Which of the following represents an abiotic component of
the environment?
I. Evaluating Learning A. Sprouting mongo seeds B. Dugong nursing its young
C. Grass on mountain slopes D. Flowing lava
3. Setting up an aquarium that represents a mini ecosystem
has to have which of the following requirements?
A. Fish and water only
B. Water, sand, soil, and light only
C. Populations of fish, snails, and plants only
D. Communities of different species of organisms, water,
 sand, soil, and sunlight
4. Temperature, light, air, water, soil, and climate are all
__________ parts of the environment.
A. biotic B. abiotic C. boreal D. living
5. A glass container chiefly enclosed for growing and
displaying plants and small animals.
A. Aquarium B. Terrarium C. Shark Tank

J. Additional activities for application or

  remediation
