IV. PROCEDURES
A. Reviewing previous lesson or presenting the RECAPITULATION. Teacher asks the students to identify the characteristic or
new lesson property of life exhibited by each item. “Let’s try this one!”
B. Establishing a purpose for the lesson IMAGINATION IS THE LIMIT. Teacher presents two objects (plant and rock).
ASK. Teacher asks the students.
• How would you determine whether the objects are alive or not?
• If it is alive or not, what do you call the particular environment where we
can find those objects?
C. Presenting examples COMMUNICATE. Students read the lesson’s objective:
D. /Instances of the new lesson Identify the living thing (biotic component) and non-living things
(abiotic) components of the environment.
Describe the principles of the ecosystem.
E. Discussing new concepts and practicing new COOPERATIVE LEARNING. Students go to their respective group. Instruct
skills # 1 students to go to the science garden and let the students to identify at least 3 living
and 3 non-living things that they can found in the garden. (5 minutes)
Students create own graphic organizer. (5 minutes)
For example:
ECOSYSTEM

Biotic Components Abiotic Components

Producers Temperature

Consumers Nature of Soil

Decomposer etc. Wind etc.

F. Developing mastery
(leads to Formative Assessment 3)
G. Finding practical application of concepts and
skills in daily living
H. Making generalizations and abstractions about
the lesson
PRESENTATION. Each group presents their output.
DEEPENING THE UNDERSTANDING. Teacher communicates and explains the
principles of ecosystem.
 Principle 1. The ultimate source of energy is the sun.
 Principle 2. Energy flows in the ecological system.
 Principle 3. Matter cycles continually through the web of life.
DEVELOPING RESPONSIVENESS. Teacher asks questions.
a. What if energy will not flow to the ecosystem, do you think we will survive?
b. How the things in our environment affect us and in return as a human being how
do we affect our environment?
CONCEPT AT A GLANCE.
Teacher asks the students to classify the words written in the metacards in the table.
1. Differentiate between biotic and abiotic component of ecosystem
Biotic Factors Abiotic Factors

2. Describe the three major principles of an ecosystem and give the examples of
each.
Principle #1 Principle #2 Principle #3

I. Evaluating learning PICTURE ANALYSIS. Teacher shows pictures of ecological processes and
students identify the biotic and abiotic components as well as the principle shown.

Picture #1.

Picture #2.

Picture #3.

J. Additional activities for application or
remediation
