    Components of An Ecosystem

    Uploaded by

    Alfred Melvin Soliva
    The document describes the components of an ecosystem, including both biotic (living) components like plants, animals, and microbes, as well as abiotic (non-living) components like air, water, and soil. It discusses how biotic and abiotic components interact within an ecosystem and provides examples of ecosystems like forests, gardens, and aquariums. Students are asked to identify biotic and abiotic components of different ecosystems and consider how living things interact with their environment.

    GRADE VI

    COMPONENTS OF AN ECOSYSTEM

    At the end of the module, you should be able to:


    Describe an Ecosystem
    - Living components (biotic)
    - Non-living Components (abiotic)
    - Interaction between living and non-living things

    Try to Recall

    Look around you. What do you see?


    Let us try to group the listed word you see into two.
    Directions: In your notebook make a table with similar to the one below. From
    the list you made, choose 5 for each column.

    Without Life

    With Life

    Explore

    Activity 1 Field Trip


    Directions: Go out and add 5 more words under each column of your table.
    Answer the following question:
    1.
    2.
    3.
    4.
    5.

    Into how many groups can be divide what we see around us?
    Based from the table, what is the basis of your classification?
    Where would you place yourself in the grouping? Why?
    Where would you place air and food in the grouping? Why?
    Do you think life is possible if there were those listed in the column without life?
    Give the reason for your answer.

    Take note:

    Our community is composed of both living components and non-living


    components.

    The living components are also called biotic components; while the living
    components are called abiotic components.

    Activity 2 Interaction between Biotic and Abiotic Components in a Community

    What to do:
    1. Study the illustration above.
    2. Answer the following questions.
    a. What are the biotic components in the garden community?
    b. What are the abiotic components of this community?
    3. What living things do you think can be found under the stones/rocks? In the branches
    of the tree? In the soil?
    4. Why are they found there?

    Concept of Ecosystem
    A community is made up of many components that
    can be grouped into abiotic components and biotic
    components. The interaction between the abiotic and biotic
    components in a community gives rise to an ecosystem. For
    example in a forest community composed of trees, smaller
    plants, animals and other living things like mouse ; fungi;
    together with the soil, streams, stones give rise to what we
    call forest ecosystem.
    There are other ecosystems in the community e.g.
    garden ecosystem, river ecosystem, etc.
    The network of ecosystems all over the earths
    surface constitute the living world or biosphere.

    I Learned That:
    An ecosystem has both living (biotic) and non-living (abiotic) components.
    Biotic components are those with life.
    Abiotic components are there without life.
    There is interaction between the biotic components and abiotic components in an
    ecosystem.

    Apply It

    An aquarium can be considered an ecosystem. In a table similar to the one below


    list down the abiotic and biotic components of the aquarium ecosystem.
    Aquarium Ecosystem
    Components
    Abiotic

    Biotic

    Test Yourself
    *

    A school canteen is also a community which gives rise to school canteen


    ecosystem. List down 5 abiotic components and 5 biotic components of school
    ecosystem.

    2. Present or absence of life
    3. Under with life; because I am alive
    4. Under without life because they have no life
    5. No, because they provide us with what we need.
    Activity 2
    1. Binds, butterfly, ants, bee, earthworm, aphids, etc.
    2. Stones, soil, air, nest, etc.

    - mass, ants etc,


    - Caterpillar , ants, birdies, wild ants, snail
    - Earthworms, centipede, millipede

    They are found because it is where they find their food and are protected from their
    predator
