IV. PROCEDURES
A. Preliminary Activities
1. Prayer
2. Review learners about the previous lesson about. Ask the learners of their previous lessons using
the following guide questions:
1. What is an ecosystem?
2. Give examples of an ecosystem.
3. What is abiotic and biotic factor? Give examples
Teacher’s activity: Ask students to identify the root words and brainstorm what types of ecological
and symbiotic relationships the terms describe. Then, review the definitions of the terms. Point out
that the term symbiosis is an overarching term for mutualism, commensalism, and parasitism and that
the ecological relationships predation and competition are not generally considered to be symbiotic.
Answer key:
PARASITISM - which one benefits at the expense of the other, sometimes without killing the host
organism
MUTUALISM - both species benefit from each other.
COMMENSALISM - involves two organisms in which one benefits without affecting the other one,
in any way.
PREDATION - a relationship between two species of animal in a community, in which one
(the predator) hunts, kills, eats the other (the prey).
