I have here three pictures of organisms---a flower, a butterfly and a bird. Written at the
back of the pictures are different situations that can be observed in our environment.
One representative from each group will get one picture and choose members of the group
that will act the situation
Is that clear?
Let’s start it now. The situations are:
-A mosquito biting a sleeping person.
-Chicken, duck and bird catching a worm for food.
-Snake-catching chicken for food.
These are some of the situations usually observed in our environment, so let us find out

more about different ecological relationships in the ecosystem.
Explore Do you know Dora? Who is Dora?
(10 minutes)
For today we will join Dora in her adventure because she wants to know the different
ecological relationships in the ecosystem.
This activity entitled DORA ~The Ecological Trail-lationship Explorer~
I have here sets of pictures of different organisms that by Dora met as she explores the
forest, ocean and the dessert.
FOREST DESERT
OCEAN
What are the organisms that Dora met along the
way?
How does each organism interact in the picture?
Which is harmed, affected, benefited, or not harmed?
Explain What ecological relationship exists in the picture? Describe the relationship.
(10 minutes)
What is ecological relationship?
What are the types of ecological relationships?
Now, let us go back to the first part of our lesson where I let you act like a mosquito biting a
sleeping person. What kind of relationship is that? How does the mosquito affect the
sleeping person?
How about the chicken, duck and bird catching a worm for food? What kind of relationship
do they have? What will happen to the other organism that cannot catch the worm?
Next, is the snake-catching chicken for food, what kind of relationship do they have?
Which is being eaten/ harmed? What do you call the organism that is being eaten in
predation? How about the eater?
Elaborate Show more pictures of examples of different ecological relationships. Let the students
(10 minutes) identify what kind of ecological relationship it is through a game.
Students will answer by group and write their answers on the illustration board. Once they
are done writing they will raise their illustration board. Those who get a correct answer will

get one (1) point. At the end of the activity, the highest score will receive a prize.
Generalization
CROSS- CURRICULAR EXTENSIONS (Language Arts)
Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring highlights the potential effects of human behaviours on the
environment and on ecosystems.
(Judge the relevance and worth of ideas, soundness of the author’s reasoning, and the
effectiveness of the presentation EN9RC-IVf-2.22)
What was the main message of Silent Spring? Why did Silent Spring get banned? Do you
know what pesticides are for? Can you give me an example of a pest? Do you know that
all living things in the world have a purpose? What will happen if that certain pest will be
gone? Then, how would those organisms live if they depend on that certain pest for
survival? How is Silent Spring relevant today?
In another vein, Henry Thoreau’s Walden provides a riveting account of Thoreau’s
experience in the Massachusetts wilderness. What does Thoreau mean by wilderness?
(Discuss scenarios presented in this book in light of the relationship between humans and
nature). What are the consequences of human behaviour on the environment if it is not
valued or protected? Why is it important to have a balance ecological relationship?
