How do living things differ

from non-living things?


At the end of the lesson, the students should
be able to:
Competency Code: S7LT-IIh-9

 Differentiate biotic from abiotic components of an


ecosystem
 Describe interdependence among the components of
the environment
 Infer what happens to organisms if their environment
is not able to provide them with their basic needs
Activity
Draw your dream garden in your house.
1. Make sure that the following are visible
-biotic components
-abiotic components
-energy source
Analysis
 1. Which are the biotic components in your
garden? How about the abiotic components?
 2. How can plant survive in the garden? Where
can it get the needed nutrients for
photosynthesis?
 3. How can the insects survive? From where
will they get the oxygen?
 4. What will happen to the insects when the
plant dies? Why?
 Why a medicinal garden is considered a mini
ecosystem? Describe the interdependence among the
components of the ecosystem.
A terrarium is an example of a mini
ecosystem. An ecosystem is a community of
living organisms in conjunction with the
nonliving components of their environment
(things like air, water and mineral soil),
interacting as a system. These biotic and
abiotic components are regarded as linked
together through nutrient cycles and energy
flows. As ecosystems are defined by the
network of interactions among organisms,
and between organisms and their
environment, they can be of any size but
usually encompass specific, limited spaces
(although some scientists say that the entire
planet is an ecosystem).
Assessment

Assignment
 There are other kinds of interactions and interdependence
that take place among organisms and their environment.
Cite some examples.
