PREPARED BY: HENE LIBIANO HAPINAT, MS

Flash back…Tell whether the following is BIOTIC or ABIOTIC component of Ecosystem


Lichens Temperature

LogAlgae

Sunlight

Let’s Play an Enviro- Game: LETTER SCRAMBLE


What is inside the envelope are scrambled letters. Discover the hidden MAGIC word from these scrambled letters using the following clue: _______it is a relationships between or among organisms in an ecosystem.The first group to present correctly the given task will be declared winner.

Time Limit: 1 minute

Ecological Interactions

Objectives:1. Identify the different ecological relationships that take place in the ecosystem.

2. Conduct a biotic survey of ecosystem to investigate these ecological relationships.

3. Analyze which organism is benefited, harmed, and not affected by such relationships.

4. Recognize the importance of interdependence among organisms in the environment.

Let’s Tour Around the Campus“Biotic Survey Of Ecosystem”


Areas of Investigation:

Grassland

Flower Garden

Fish pond

Vegetable Garden

Bring your cameras, cellular phones, & record books. Document all ecological interactions that you can see in an area assigned to your group. If ‘possible’ bring samples of actual specimen as evidence.

Rice Field

Get ready to view some samples of these “ECOLOGICAL INTERACTIONS”

Competition:• When species or

individuals “fight” for the same resources.E.g., Food, space

shelter….• Sometimes they

compete not just for food or shelter.

• They also compete for the females.

• (Mating season)

Predation:

One organism (predator) captures another and feeds on the captured organism (prey)

Predator-prey relationships

Mutualism

Both organisms benefit from the relationships.

Give and take relationships

Win-Win situation!

Commensalism

One organism benefits (commensal), the other one is unaffected (host).

Win-Neutral relationshipsCommensal-host relationships

Parasitism One organism benefits

(parasite), the other one is harmed (host)

Win -Lose relationships

Parasites kill their hosts…it would require them to get another one!

Parasite-host relationships

Applying what you have learned

What do you think will happen if there will be no interactions that will

exist in our ecosystem?


Imbalance of ecological system will occur

Life is but a boring environment

Interdependence will not exist

Lifeless Earth!

Applying what you have learned

Humans are stewards of this ecological system (biosphere).How can you show your CONCERN to our

environment?


Test Yourself: Look for the relationships between organisms using (+) if the organism is benefited; (-) if the organism is harmed;(0) if the organism is not affected. Predict the relationships involve.


Do It For Yourself:

Part of your environmental advocacy is to encourage others to follow your footsteps so as to show CONCERN to our Mother Earth. Express yourself by doing the following:


1. Enviro-Poster/Slogan/Signage

2. Enviro-Composo (pop or rap music composed in local dialect)

3. Enviro-Essay Writing

Do It For Yourself:


4. Enviro-Poem (any languages)

5. Enviro-T-shirt Printing

6. Enviro-News Casting

7. Enviro-Short Film Making

Note: Select at least two from the choices. Be ready to present your work next meeting.


CLASS, DISPERSE!!!!!
