At the end of the lesson, the students should be S7LT-IIh-10 – differentiate the different
able to: ecological relationships found in the ecosystem
a. enumerate the different ecological
relationship exists;
b. explain how the different relationship
happen between organisms;
c. construct a mind mapping that connects
all the ecological relationships
d. give examples in each ecological
relationship.

I. Pre-discussion
Motivation: “Who will survive”
The teacher will group the whole class into two. The teacher will instruct the students to have
representative for each group. The representatives will have a spoon, a cup and note cards. In front,
there will be a bowl with M&Ms. The teacher will be the ones who will give the cue to read the note
cards and do what it tell the students to do. At the end of each round, the teacher will ask the
representative’s group mates what interaction is seen in that round.
II. Discussion
“Place the following pictures to the corresponding column of ecological relationship it depicts.”
“Analyze the pictures on the board. What do you think ecological relationship means?”
“Ecological relationship is a long-term relationship wherein two species live closely together and at
least one benefit directly from the relationship.”
“How many relationships do we have?”
“Yes that’s correct! We have five ecological relationships.”
“Why do you think that picture entails a parasitism kind of relationship?”
“Very good! Because parasitism is an ecological relationship where one organism benefits while one
is harmed. In a parasitic relationship, there is what we call a host which can be a living host like us or
other living organisms or a non-living host also called as fomite which refers to inanimate objects, an a
parasite which is an organism dependent to the host.”
“In the picture of parasitism on the board, can you tell me who is the host and who is the parasite
between the two?”
“What is the difference between an endoparasite and an ectoparasite?”
“Our next relationship is mutualism. Mutualism is when both organisms benefit from each other. It is
a positive-positive (+, +) relationship.”
“Besides with the example we have on the board, can you cite examples of mutualistic relationship?”
“Next is commensalism. Commensalism is an ecological relationship where one organism benefits

while the other is neither harmed nor benefitted.”
“Why does the relationship between an alligator and plover bird is considered as commensalism?
“The other relationship is predation. Predation is an ecological relationship where one is benefitted
and the other is harmed. One organism hunts and eats the other organism.”
“Predation has the concept of a predator and a prey.”

“Can you define what is a predator and a prey?”
“The last relationship we have is competition. Competition is a relationship where one organism is
benefitted and one is either harmed or unaffected.”
“Have you already encounter a competition kind of relationship? Can you give an example scenario?”
“Now that we learn the different ecological relationships can we tell what these phrases projected on
the board wanted to tell us?”
“The first one saying “I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine.” the other saying “Both parties are not
benefiting equally from the relationship.”
“Nice explanation! It tells us that in the ecological relationship that exists there are relationships where
both organisms benefit from each other but there are cases that they are not.”
“The relationship where they benefit from each other is what we called symbiotic relationship while
the counter part of it where both parties are not benefiting equally from the relationship or one party
takes from another without giving anything back is non-symbiotic relationship.”
“Base from the different relationships we discussed, which do you think belongs to the symbiotic
relationship?”
“Very good! The relationships under the symbiotic relationship are mutualism, commensalism,
parasitism and competition.”
“While predation is under non-symbiotic relationship.”
“Do you have any questions regarding to our topic for today?”
III. Post-discussion
Mind Mapping.
The students will be given short bond paper and will be tasked to count from 1 to 5. Each number
symbolizes on ecological relationship. There will be a mind map presented in front. The task of the
students is to fill it in by adding examples in the relationships they were assigned.
IV. Conclusion
There are different types of ecological relationships exists in our ecosystem. It can be mutualism,
parasitism, commensalism, predation and competition. Those types can also be divided into two under
symbiotic relationship where the organism benefit from each other and non-symbiotic where the
organisms are not equally benefit from each other. Even though that was the case, the relationships that
are discussed are important or essential to the organisms and to the ecosystem. They are working and
interacting together for us to maintain the balance in our ecosystem.
