Science VI
I. Objectives
At the end of the lesson, the learners are expected to:
a. identify interrelationships that exist in tropical rainforests, coral reefs and mangrove
swamps;
b. appreciate the interconnectedness of organisms by showing respect for different life
forms; and
c. practice good relationship with others.

III. Procedure
Teacher’s Activity Learner’s Activity
A. Elicit
Before we proceed to our main activity
this morning, I will show you some
pictures.
What is in the first picture? It is a rainforest ma’am.
Very good! What animals can you find in Wild animals ma’am like orangutans,
the rainforest? snakes, birds, lion and tiger.
What is the importance of rainforest?
It serves as shelter for animals ma’am.
Very good!
Let’s move on to the next picture.
What can you see in the picture?

Coral reefs ma’am.
What organisms can we see here?
Different kinds of marine animals ma’am.
What do you think is the importance of
coral reefs? It provides habitat for marine life ma’am.
Very good!
Let’s move on to the last picture.
What can you see in the picture?

Mangrove swamps ma’am.
What benefit can we derive from
mangrove swamps? It serves as habitat and source of food
ma’am.
Very good!
B. Engagement
1. Motivation
We have here a tarpapel showing a
“number substitution cipher” where each
letter corresponds to a number. All you
have to do is to substitute it in order to
come up with the words.
2. Presentation of the Lesson
Today, we are going to identify
interrelationships that exist in tropical
rainforests, coral reefs, and mangrove
swamps.
C. Exploration
I will divide the class into five groups.
Group 1. Mutualism (butterfly and flower

in the rainforest)
Questions:
1. What organisms/animals are in the
picture?
2. How is the butterfly benefited from
the flower?
3. How is the flower benefited from the
butterfly?
4. Are both organisms benefited?
5. What is their interrelationship?
Group 2. Commensalism (orchid and

flower in the rainforest)
Questions:
picture?
2. What organism is benefited?
3. Is the tree harmed?
Group 3. Parasitism (worm inside a fish

in a coral reef)
Questions:
1. What organism/animals are in the
picture?
2. What organism is benefited? harmed?
Group 4. Predation (crocodile and fish in

mangrove swamps)
Questions:
picture?
2. What organism kills/eats smaller
organism?
3. What organism is being eaten?
Group 5. Competition (two wild dogs

competing for food in the rainforest)
Questions:
picture?
2. Why do you think these animals are
competing?
D. Explanation
a. Group Reporting / Presentation of the
Output
b. Discuss the results of the activity.
c. Discuss the interrelationships that
exist in tropical rainforests, coral reefs
and mangrove swamps.
A close or intimate relationships among

individuals of different kinds or species
occur within a community is called
symbiosis.
Mutualism is a relationship in which
both organisms are benefited. This is
called the give and take relationship.
Commensalism is a relationship between
organisms in which one is benefited and
the other is neither harmed nor benefited.
Commensal – the organism which is
benefited
Host – the organism which is not
affected or not
harmed
Predation is a relationship wherein a big
animals feeds on a small animal.
Predator – the animal that eats the
smaller animal.
Prey – the animal that is eaten.
Parasitism is a relationship where an
organism, the parasite gets its
nourishments from another living
organism called host.
Parasite is benefited while the host is
harmed.
Host – is harmed
Competition is a relationship where
organisms compete for the scarce of food
supply in their habitat.
E. Elaboration
What do you call the close or intimate
relationships among individuals of
different kinds or species occur within a
community?
Very good!
It is called symbiosis ma’am.
What are the interrelationships that exists
in tropical rainforests, coral reefs, and
mangrove swamps?
IV. Evaluation
Direction: Identify the interrelationship
being described in each item. Encircle the Mutualism, commensalism, predation,
letter of the correct answer. parasitism, and competition ma’am.
1.Marie enjoyed snorkeling during
summer vacation. She witnessed that sea
urchins eat small coral fishes. What
interaction in coral reef ecosystem does it
show?
A. commensalism
B. competition 1. D.
C. parasitism
D. predation
2.Mark’s group got a Tilapia from the
mangrove swap nearby.They dissected it
during their Science experiment.They
discovered that worms live in the flesh of
the fish.If worm harmed the fish, what
does it depict?
A. commensalism 2. C.
B. competition
C. parasitism
D. predation
3. What interaction is being shown when
two animals compete for food?
A.commensalism
B.competition
C.parasitism
D.predation
For numbers 4-5, fill in the blank with the 3. B.
correct answer.
4. Clownfish meets a sea anemone during
his sea exploration.They became friends
in the long run.Clownfish protects sea
anemone from marine creatures that
immune on its tentacles while sea
anemone serves as habitat of clownfish.
The interrelationship this shows is 4. Mutualism
_______________.
5.Barnacles and whales are friends.
Barnacles benefited from the whales
without harming it. The interrelationship
in the marine ecosystem shown is
