Very Good!

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

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 Plants, animals, fish, whale, shark, dog, cat, humans,
or living things in short.Give me an example of biotic mouse, lizard, birds, etc…
factors.

Very good! Let’s give him/her a YES CLAP for all of us! (The Pupils will clap.)

Biotic components can be classified into three types

Such as:
1.PRODUCERS-produce their own energy w/o using
consuming other life form..
2.CONSUMERS- exist on the next level of food chain there
are three main types of consumers:
Herbivores feed on plant
Carnivores get their food by eating other carnivores and
herbivores
Omnivores can digest both plants and animals
Plants, animals, humans, etc…
3.Decomposer – dead organism and waste into non living
thing elements,example bacteria,fungi,

Abiotic Factors are all the non-living components of an

ecosystem.
Sunlight, Air, Water, Soil, Temperature, Minerals, and
Can you please give me an example of abiotic factors? others.

Excellent! Let’s give him/her a WHISTLE BOMB CLAP!

Generalization ECOSYSTEM is made up of living and non-living things

Now, who can tell us the summary of our lesson for today interacting with each other. And is derived from the
with the help of the graphic organizer? Greek word meaning HOME.

abiotic
C. POST ACTIVITIES

a. Group Activity

Ecosystem in a Bottle
(The pupils will be divided into two groups and
Divide the class into two groups, have each group perform the activity.
build their own "ecosystem" inside of a small container
such as a can or large glass jar. Identify the problems that
each Ecosystem may encounter. Let them report on the
Ecosystems that they made.
I find it very excited because all are actively
How do you find the activity class? participating and they enjoy the activity….

we can help protect the planet and its ecosystem,reduce
or eliminate the use of household chemicals and
pesticides that can hurt the invironment..
