DETAILED LESSON PLAN IN SCIENCE VI
I. OBJECTIVES:
At the end of the lesson, the pupils are expected to;
1. Describe an ecosystem;
2. Identify the living and non-living components of an ecosystem.
3. Distinguish the kinds of ecosystem in the environment.
II. SUBJECT MATTER:
Module 14 ECOSYSTEMS
Reference: Exploring and Protecting our World
Value Integration: Caring for the Ecosystems
Skills: Identifying, Distinguishing, Describing
Materials: Cartolina, Book, pictures, visual aids
Concept: ECOSYSTEMS
III. PROCEDURE:
Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity
A. PRELIMINARY ACTIVITIES
Good Morning Class. Good Morning Teacher.
Let us pray. All are praying…
a. Checking of attendance
Who are absent today? None Teacher.
Very good no absent.
b. Review
What was our topic that we discuss last meeting? One pupil will answer… Teacher our last topic
Anybody who can summarize? last meeting is about deforestation.
Very Good! Let’s clap our hands.
c. Motivation
Have you seen a rotten log? Yes teacher!
I have here an example of a rotten log.
What do you see in this rotten log?
(Each pupil will observe.)
Good job! Log, snail, moss, ants, fungi…
Now why I have shown this to you? You will
know it in our discussion.
d. Unlocking of difficulties
Before we start our lesson, let us first know the
meaning of some unfamiliar words that we may
encounter.
1. What is ecology?
Ecology is the relationships b/w organisms and
2. What are organisms? their environment.
Example: all animals and all plants, etc…
Organisms are plants, animals and other tiny
living things that may not be visible to the naked
eye.
3. What is a Habitat? Example: Humans, cat, dog, fungus, yeast,
bacteria, etc…
Habitat is the part of the ecosystem where an
organism lives.
B. LESSON PROPER Example: ocean, coral reefs, dessert, trees, etc…
a. Presentation of the Lesson
As you can see on the board, there is a word
posted here, everybody please read the word
‘’ECOSYSTEM’’. ‘’ECOSYSTEM’’
Now, what comes in to your mind when you hear
the word ECOSYSTEM? Write your answer on the
board. Anyone? The pupils will write their answers on the board.
Plants, Animals, biotic, abiotic, etc…
Very Good!
Now let’s put it altogether what is an ecosystem?
(The teacher will guide the pupils in answering the
question.) Ecosystem is a specific place where living things
interact with non-living things. It comes from the
word ecological system or ecology from the
Greek word which means ‘’HOME’’.
b. Analysis and Discussion
Try to recall of what do you see in a river or sea
or forest (or any ecosystem existing in the (The pupils will answer.)
community)? Cat, Dog, Humans, Chickens, frogs, snakes, fish,
ants, garbage, fish ponds, grass land, etc.
Well done!
There are two components of an ecosystem;
1. Biotic Factors
2. Abiotic Factors
Biotic Factors are all organisms that live in an
ecosystem or living things in short.
Give me an example of biotic factors.
Very good! Let’s give him/her a YES CLAP for all Plants, animals, fish, whale, shark, dog, cat,
of us! humans, mouse, lizard, birds, etc…
Plants, animals, humans, etc…
(The Pupils will clap.)
Abiotic Factors are all the non-living components
of an ecosystem.
Can you please give me an example of abiotic
factors?
Excellent! Let’s give him/her a WHISTLE BOMB Sunlight, Air, Water, Soil, Temperature, Minerals,
CLAP! and others.
There are 2 kinds of an ecosystem, which is small
and big ecosystem, some lived in sea and others
lived on land.
Example of a Small ecosystem is a rotten log
which I present to you a while ago. Another is a
tree, a plotted plant, and etc. While Big ecosystem
– ocean, forest, etc…
(Show an example of a forest.)
Can you follow?
c. Generalization
Let’s sum up what we have discussed; I have here
a graphic organizer. All you need to do is to Yes teacher!
provide the details for each box. Now anyone who
can answer?
Very Good! ECOSYSTEM is made up of living and non-
living things interacting with each other. And is
Now, who can tell us the summary of our lesson derived from the Greek word meaning HOME.
for today with the help of the graphic organizer? And it can be small or big ecosystem which some
lived in land and lived in sea.
C. POST ACTIVITIES
a. Group Activity
Ecosystem in a Bottle
Divide the class into two groups, have each
group build their own "ecosystem" inside of a small
container such as a can or large glass jar. Identify
the problems that each Ecosystem may encounter.
Let them report on the Ecosystems that they made.
How do you find the activity class?
Why do you say so?
Have you learned the lesson? (The pupils will be divided into two groups and
perform the activity.
b. Application
I find it very excited because all are actively
Now that we have understood Ecosystem, do you participating and they enjoy the activity….
think Ecosystem is important to us?
Yes teacher!
Why?
c. Value Integration
If this is very important, how can we take care of
our ecosystem? The pupils will answer on the board…
Can you give me how can we take care our
ecosystem?
Yes teacher.
Ecosystem is very important to us because it
sustain our needs, the plants and animals and
other non-living things that interact to living
things in the environment.
(Pupil will answer.)
By preserving our Ecosystem, not destroying any
Ecosystems, etc…
IV. EVALUATION
