II. Subject Matter

A. Topic: Natural and man-made biodiversity in ecosystem

1. Concepts
a. Natural ecosystem-a community of living and non-living organisms, where
each component interacts together as a unit through biological, physical and
chemical processes.
b. Man-made ecosystem- An ecosystem which is made and controlled by
human beings but meets all the criteria of an ecosystem

2. Process/ Skills
Describing, differentiating and appreciating through real life situations.

3. Value focus
Appreciate the importance of natural and man-made biodiversity in
ecosystem.

A. Pre-activity

1. Review
Last meeting we discussed
about ecosystem.

What is an ecosystem? An ecosystem includes all of the living


things (plants, animals and organisms)
in a given area, interacting with each
other, and also with their non-living
environments (weather, earth, sun, soil,
climate, and atmosphere).

The two components of an ecosystem


What are the two components are biotic and abiotic.
of an ecosystem?
The examples of the abiotic factors are

examples of biotic factors are plants
and trees, animals, microorganisms
such as fungi, bacteria, algae.

2. Motivation

kinds of ecosystems. Let the
student describe different kinds
of an ecosystem.

3. Presentation
Our lesson for today is all about
Natural and man-made
biodiversity in an ecosystem.

leader, secretary, and a reporter to
discuss the answer in front of the
class. Each group will only be given
15 minutes to do their work.

Why do we need to protect this Student answer may vary.


biodiversity in ecosystem? We need to protect this biodiversity
because they provide raw materials
and resources for medicines and other
purposes. They are the foundation of
all civilization and sustain our
economies.

man-made when it is limited and
controlled by humans.

When can you consider such Students answer may vary.

IV. Evaluation
I. In a ½ sheet of crosswise paper. Tell whether it is natural ecosystem or man-
made ecosystem.

1. It has a diverse amount of species and plants and it is self-sustaining.


2. It is limited and requires the assistance of human.
3. It has a greater biodiversity.
4. It requires higher energy impact.
5. It needs lower maintenance.

II. In 2-3 sentences what is the importance of natural biodiversity and man-
made biodiversity in an ecosystem?

V. Assignment
In a ½ sheet of crosswise paper. Choose between natural biodiversity and man-
biodiversity in ecosystem. Write in 2-3 sentences why it is the most important
biodiversity in an ecosystem.
