I. OBJECTIVES
➢ The learners demonstrate understanding of the interactions
A. Content Standards for survival among living and non-living things that take place
in tropical rainforest, coral reefs, and mangrove swamps.

➢ The learners should be able to form discussion groups to

B. Performance Standards tackle issues involving protection and conservation of
ecosystems that serve as nurseries, breeding places,
and habitats for economically important plants and
animals.
C. Learning Competencies/ ➢ Define an ecosystem.
Objectives ➢ Identify the different types of ecosystem.
Write the LC code for each
 Tropical rainforest
 Mangrove swamps
 Coral reefs

➢ Discuss the interactions among living things and non-living

things in a tropical rainforest, mangrove swamps and coral
reefs. (S6MT-Iii-j-5)

Values Focus: Protection and conservation of tropical

rainforest, mangrove swamps and coral reefs.

4. Rainforest
5. Mangrove
d. Review: Strategy – MESSAGE RELAY

(Implementing developmentally sequenced teaching and

learning process)

1. What do you call animals without backbone?

2. What are the 5 classess of vertebrates?
3. What do you call animals without backbone?
4. What are the 8 groups of invertebrates?

e. Motivation: Strategy – Game: Complete the Picture

(Applies kowledge of content across curriculum teaching

areas – MAPEH-Arts)
(Enhancing numeracy skills)
(Strategy to develop critical and creative thinking)

Game Mechanics:
Through a picture puzzle, each group will complete a
picture of a specific type of forest ecosystem with the exact
inhabitants for each type as instructed. Picture puzzle A are for
tropical rainforest, Picture puzzle B are for mangrove swamp and
Picture puzzle C are for coral reefs. Another box is provided for
each group to identify the inhabitants for each type of forest
Fastest group wins.

f. Presentation of lesson/topic: Simultaneously posting the

topic on the board.

From the activity that we have, we were able to complete

the puzzle pieces to form a picture of a different type of
ecosystem. But the question is:

1. Do you know what type of ecosystem are presented in

the picture?
2. How do inhabitants of this type of ecosystem interact
with each other?

Our lesson for today is all about ECOSYSTEMS:

Interactions Among Living Things in a Tropical
Rainforest, Mangrove Swamps and Coral Reefs.
ENGAGE g. Presentation of Objectives
B. Establishing a purpose 1. Define an eciosytem.
for the lesson 2. Identify the different types of ecosystem.

 Tropical rainforest
 Mangrove swamps
 Coral reefs

3. Discuss the interactions among living things and non-living

things in a tropical rainforest, mangrove swamps and coral
reefs. (S6MT-Iii-j-5)

h. Raising of Motive Questions

Motivate the learners to ask questions on what they know
and what they want to know about the topic.

creative thinking, as well as other higher-order thinking skills)
 Presentation of outputs for every group.
 Outputs will serve as medium for discussion.
 Checking of outputs, giving emphasis on the discussion of their
answers and valuing the importance of an ecosystem.

and practicing new skills #2 creative thinking, as well as other higher-order thinking skills)

Cause and Effect Relationship (knowledge and comprehension)

1. What is the present condition of our ecosystem today?
2. What is the adverse effect of the loss of natural ecosystem?

it for survival. Group members take turns in talking about the
illustration.
