2. At the end of the lesson, the students will be able to:
a. Identify the components of ecosystem
b. Explain the different relationships that exit among living
things and non-living things
c. Discuss the different properties and characteristics of
different biomes.
d. Construct ways on how to converse and preserve our
natural resources.

3. What we Know

between and among living
and non-living things in an

What we Want to
know
1. The components of
ecosystem
2. Different relationships
that exit among living
things and non-living
things
3. Properties and
characteristics of
different biomes
4. How to converse and
preserve our natural
resources.
What We Learned

4. • Biotic
• Abiotic

5. This consists of life forms
existing in a symbiotic
relationship with their
environment.
Life forms in ecosystems
compete with one another to
become the most successful at
reproducing and surviving in a
given niche, or environment.

6. Biotic – these are the life
forms that inhabit in the
ecosystem.
Example: producers,
consumers, decomposers

7. Abiotic – these consists of
non-organic aspects of the
environment
Example: climate, soil,
topography

9. • Predation
• Competition
• Mutualism
• Commensalism
• Parasitism

10. This is when an organism
hunts and eats the other
organisms.
The organism hunting is
the PREDATOR and the
organism being hunt is the
PREY.

11. This is when an organism
compete for the same
resources.

12. Insects are common
examples of mimicry. Insects
can be so blend with their
surroundings that sometimes
we can not recognize them.
Some insects can have the
appearance of twigs, leaf,
bark, wood and some may
simply be the same color as
their habitat.

13. This is the relationship in
which organisms benefit
from each other.

14. This is the relationship in
which one organism
benefits from the other
that is not affected.

15. This is the relationship in
which one organism (the
parasite) benefits while
the other (the host) is
harmed.

16. These are contiguous areas with similar climatic conditions on the earth such as communities of plants, animals and soil organisms.
They are classified in various ways:
Aquatic, deserts, forests, grasslands, tundra

17. These includes freshwater
biomes and marine biomes.
FRESHWATER BIOMES – is
characterized by having less
salt concentration – usually
1%
MARINE BIOMES – largest
biome covering about 70% of
the surface of earth.

18. Characterized by having
annual precipitation of less
than 25 cm. typical plants
that grows are cactus.

19. Characterized by the
presence of dominant
plants such as tall, woody
and canopy forming trees.
It can be found from the
tropical up to the
temperate regions.

20. Characterized by treeless
vegetation.
Typical plants that
dominates are the grasses
and the sunflower family.

21. Characterized by treeless
and has low vegetation
with short perennials.
It is also characterized by
permafrost, a layer of
permanently frozen
subsoil.

22. Two terms that are often confused and used to mean the same thing,
although differences exist.

23. CONSERVATION
• The sustainable use and management of
natural resources; including wildlife, water, air
and earth deposits.
PRESERVATION
• Attempts to maintain in their present condition,
areas of the earth that are so far untouched by
human. This is due to the concern that mankind
is encroaching onto the environment.

24. • Biological diversity, or the
shorter "biodiversity,"
(bio-di-ver-si-ty) simply
means the diversity, or
variety, of plants and
animals and other living
things in a particular area
or region.
• The variety of life in the
world or in a particular
habitat or ecosystem.

25. Habitat loss and fragmentation Invasive alien species

26. Climate change Over exploitation

27. Pollution Human populations

28. 1. Through a
greater awareness,
each individual can
help to assure that
there will be
suitable
environments for
succeeding
generations on our
planet.

29. 2. Individuals in
society must decide on
proposals which
involve the introduction
of new technologies.
These decisions must
assess environmental
risks, costs, benefits,
and trade-offs.

30. 3. Act and Be Involved
•Plant a tree.
•Use, reuse or repair things
•Do not use, eat or
buy endangered species; e.g.
shark fin soup or dumplings
•Support local or sustainable
farming (organic farming)

31. The Sea Shepherd
Conservation Society is a non-
profit, marine conservation
organization based in Friday
Harbor on San Juan Island,
Washington in the United
States. Sea Shepherd uses
direct action tactics to protect
marine life.
The World Wildlife Fund
goal is "to stop the
degradation of the planet’s
natural environment and to
build a future in which
humans live in harmony with
nature.“
Their work focuses on the
conservation of
three biomes that contain most
of the world's
biodiversity: oceans and coasts,
forests,
and freshwater ecosystems.
Among other issues, it is also
concerned with endangered
species, pollution and climate
change.
The Humane Society of
the United States,
based in Washington,
D.C., is the largest
nonprofit organization
advocating animal
rights in the world.
Greenpeace states its
goal is to "ensure the
ability of the Earth to
nurture life in all
its diversity" and focuses
its campaigning on world
wide issues such
as global
warming, deforestation, o
verfishing, commercial
whaling, genetic
engineering, and anti-
nuclear issues.
