III. TEACHING – LEARNING ACTIVITIES
a. Preliminary Activities
 Prayer
 Greetings
 Checking of Attendance
 Review
 MOTIVATION (Fix Me!)

 To divide the class, the students must pick 1 colored paper that the
teacher will provide.
 The paper is consists of four (4) colors: the red, blue, yellow, and
green.
 The students who picked the same colors will be their group member.
 The teacher will provide a picture puzzle that the students must solve
in three (3) minutes.
 The fastest group to solve the picture puzzle will be the winner.
b. Lesson Proper
ENGAGE (Word Puzzle)

 The class will be divided into 5 groups.
 The student must solve the word puzzle within (three) 3 minutes.
 The fastest group to solve the puzzle will be the winner.
EXPLORE (Watch and Learn Partner)
 The teacher will let the students explore with a 7 minute video
presentation about the relationships of ecosystem.
 The paired students must listen and take note about the video
presentation.
 After the presentation the teacher will ask random students all about
the video presentation.
 The students who will answer the teacher’s questions will have extra
points.
EXPLAIN
1. Competition
- Competition is when individuals or populations compete for the same resource,
and can occur within or between species.
- When organisms compete for a resource (such as food or building materials) it
is called consumptive or exploitative competition. When they compete for
territory, it is called interference competition.
- When they compete for new territory by arriving there first, it is called
preemptive competition. An example is lions and hyenas that compete for prey.
2. Predation
- Predation is when one organism eats another organism to obtain nutrients. The
organism that is eaten is called the prey.
- Examples of predation are owls that eat mice, and lions that eat gazelles.
- Other examples are: Cat and mouse; Bird and worm; Frog and fly.
2. Commensalism
- Commensalism is a relationship in which one organism benefits while the other is
neither helped nor harmed.
- Examples are barnacles that grow on whales and other marine animals. The whale
gains no benefit from the barnacle, but the barnacles gain mobility, which helps
them evade predators, and are exposed to more diverse feeding opportunities.
- Other example is the tree and an orchid.
3. Parasitism
- Parasitism is a relationship in which one organism benefits and the other organism
is harmed, but not always killed.
- The organism that benefits is called the parasite, and the one that is harmed is the
host.
- Parasites can be ectoparasites -- such as ticks, fleas, and leeches -- that live on the
surface of the host.
- Parasites can also be endoparasites -- such as intestinal worms – that live inside
the host.
- Other example is the girl and the lice.
4. Mutualism
- Mutualism is a relationship in which both species benefit.
- Example are the Flower and the Bee, Plants(Oxygen) and Human (Carbon
Dioxide).
IMPORTANCE ABOUT THE DIFFERENT RELATIONSHIPS IN ECOSYSTEM

Symbiosis means different species living together. There are many outcomes of
species living together (interacting). Consider two species that are not interacting
and then consider what happens to each when they do interact.
1. One may benefit and the other remains neutral (commensalism), like a
bird nest on a tree. The bird benefits but the tree is neutral.
2. One may benefit and the other is harmed (parasitism and predation). A
tapeworm benefits and its host is harmed. Or, a lion benefits and the
antelope is harmed.
3. Both are harmed (competition). When two species of plants are living
next to each other, both would do better if the other weren’t there. Thus
both are harmed.
4. Both may benefit (mutualism). This is often confused with “symbiosis”
and good examples are in previous answers.
All of these interactions, especially the feeding ones (predation and parasitism) keep
the ecosystems running.
ELABORATE (Give Me My Definition and Example!)

 In the same group, the students must define and give at least one example
 The students will be given three (3) minutes to answer it.
 After answering, there will be a 2 representative per group and present
their work to the class.
EVALUATE (Let Me Think)

 This will be an individual work.
 The teacher will provide the working sheets of the students.
 The students must answer the following questions in 5 minutes:
I. IDENTIFICATION
1. __________ is a relationship in which both species benefit.
a. Mutualism b. Parasitism c. Commensalism
2. ___________is a relationship in which one organism benefits while the

other is neither helped nor harmed.
a. Mutualism b. Parasitism c. Commensalism
3. ___________ is a relationship in which one organism benefits and the

other organism is harmed, but not always killed.
a. Predation b. Parasitism c. Commensalism
4. ____________is when one organism eats another organism to obtain
nutrients. The organism that is eaten is called the prey.
a. Predation b. Parasitism c. Competition
5. ____________is when individuals or populations compete for the same

resource, and can occur within or between species.
a. Predation b. Parasitism c. Competition
II. ESSAY (5 points)

1. What is the difference between prey and predator?
