SEMI-DETAILED LESSON PLAN IN SCIENCE 7

Subject: Science Date: September 28, 2018

Grade and Section: 7-Charity Time: 1:30-2:20

I. LEARNING COMPETENCY

A. Content Standard
The learners demonstrate an understanding of organisms interacting with each other and with their
environment to survive.

B. Performance Standard
The learners should be able to conduct a collaborative action to preserve the ecosystem in the
locality.

C. Objectives
At the end of 50-minute period, 75% of the students should be able to:
a. define an ecosystem;
b. differentiate biotic from abiotic components of an ecosystem; and
c. describe the different interaction among organism found in an ecosystem.

III. PROCEDURE

A. Preparatory Activities
1|Page
 1. Prayer
2. Greetings
3. Checking of Attendance
4. Review

Last meeting, you learned the living things other than plants and animals, right?
So, as a short recap, enumerate the livings things other than plants and animals.

Very well said.

B. Lesson Proper
Priming Activity

(The teacher shows a picture of an ecosystem)

This is an ecosystem. Definitely, a pond ecosystem.

Let us identify what makes up an ecosystem.

Activity
(The teacher draws a semantic web on the board.)

ECOSYSTEM

Identify the parts of an ecosystem by writing the answer inside the circle.

Analysis

2|Page
 Guide Questions:
1. In your own words, what is an ecosystem?
2. Point out the biotic components that are present in the semantic web.
3. What about those abiotic components?
4. How do biotic and abiotic components interact each other?
5. If there is no sunlight and water, can anything grow or survive? Why?

Abstraction

Living things need to interact with other living things to survive. And there are
several ways of interactions among living things.

 Mutualism- a relationship where both organisms benefit from each other.

Example: butterfly and flower

 Commensalism- a relationship in which one organism benefits while other

organism is unaffected.

Example: clownfish and sea anemone

 Parasitism – a relationship in which one organism benefits (parasite) while

the other is harmed (host).

Example: mosquito and human

 Competition – a relationship that occurs when two organisms compete for

the same resources—food, shelter, and mates.

Example: tiger to tiger

 Predation – a relationship where one organism kills and eat the other
organism.

Example: bear and fish

As a summary of the lesson, let us watch this video.

(Video Presentation about Interactions between Organisms)

Application

Let us now apply and dig deeper your understanding about ecosystem.
The same group again, answer the activity inside this envelope for 10 minutes only. Then,
the leader will present the output in front of the class. I hope every member from each
group will cooperate so that you can finish the task early. Be guided with this scoring
rubric on how individual’s effort be assessed.

Interaction among Organisms

Group 1: Complete the table by placing a check mark in the column that shows which type
of relationship each of the following pairs of organisms have.

Organisms Pair Mutualism Commensalism Parasitism Competition Predation

1. Human and plants
2. Snake and Hen
3. Human and mosquito

4. Clownfish and sea

anemone
5. Ticks and dog
6. Nest on a tree
7. Bee and flower
8. Tapeworm and human
9. Dog and Cat
10. Frog and fly

Group 2: Classify each description as an example of mutualism, commensalism,

predation, or parasitism by writing its letter in the correct column in the table below.

a. One organism kills and eats the other.

b. Organisms weaken or kill their hosts.
c. Bees pollinate flowers as they collect nectar.
d. Orchids attach themselves to and grow on trees.
e. Diseased or less fit members of a herd are caught and eaten.
f. Nest on a branch of a tree

 g. Both organisms benefit.
h. One organism lives on or in another organism causing harm.
i. Wolves feed on caribou.
j. One organism benefits and the other is not affected.

Group 3: Make a concept map similar to this sample below. In the first boxes, write the
different interactions among organism. Second boxes write the description for each
interaction. And last boxes, paste the appropriate picture for each interaction.

Group 4: Using what you have learned about interaction among organisms, think an
example of each interaction in which humans are involved:

(Students’ answers may vary)

a. Competition: Humans compete with all organisms for space.

b. Parasitism: Humans have many parasites: head lice, ticks, tapeworms, etc.

 c. Mutualism: We have mutualistic relationships with all domesticated plants/animals.

d. Commensalism: Pigeons thrive in metropolitan ecosystems without really affecting

humans.
