VIRTUAL TOUR
Have you tried scuba diving or snorkeling? Have you visited Manila Ocean Park?
What sea creatures did you see and observe? Watch the virtual tour and describe
the aquatic ecosystem in the video.
What are the biotic and abiotic components you have seen in the video?
BIOTIC ABIOTIC
1. 1.
2. 2.
3. 3.
In this lesson, you will learn that an aquatic ecosystem has types and distinct
zones in which different organisms live. You will also learn that these organisms
interact and establish relationships.
An aquatic ecosystem is a group
of interacting organisms dependent on
one another in a water environment.
It may be classified into two
types: Freshwater and Marine
Ecosystems.
An estuary is formed when
freshwater from rivers or streams meets
and mixes with saltwater from the oceans and seas. The nature of water causes
an estuary to have distinct characteristics.
Biotic components refer to the living
components in an ecosystem. Living things in
an aquatic ecosystem, such as plants, fishes,
fungi, and bacteria, depend on water for
survival.
Abiotic components refer to the
nonliving components of an ecosystem. It also
refers to the physical environment of living
things.
INTERACTIONS IN THE AQUATIC ECOSYSTEM
A. Ecological Niche - refers to the different roles that the organisms play in the
ecosystem.
1. Producers (autotrophs)
• It manufactures its own food through
photosynthesis. Plants are common
examples of producers.
• In an aquatic ecosystem, plankton,
phytoplankton, and zooplankton act as
producers.
Planktons – these are tiny algae that are
carried by waves and currents.
2. Consumers (heterotrophs)
They depend on other organisms for food and are classified as herbivores,
carnivores, and omnivores.
a. Herbivores - organisms that eat plants
b. Carnivores - organisms that eat meat
89
c. Omnivores - organisms that feed on both plants and meat
Detritivores - they decompose dead plant and animal matter that builds
up in estuaries to return nutrients back to the soil.
B. Feeding relationships - These show how energy flows from one organism to
another organism. These include the food chain, food pyramid, and food
web.
1. Food Chain
• This is simply a process of eating and being eaten. This includes
several organisms that pass on energy.
• The main source of energy in any ecosystem is the sun.
90
Organisms at the top
receive the least energy, while
those at the bottom obtain the
most energy. This is because some
of the energy is lost due to heat.
The energy is converted into other
forms and is used for movement
and other activities.
3. Food Web
• This refers to overlapping food chains.
• This shows that organisms feed on different kinds of organisms.
This means that organisms do not rely on one type of food only
and eat varieties of foods.
Food Web
91
Food Chain Vs. Food Web
List all the similarities and differences between the food chain and the
food web.
DIFFERENCES DIFFERENCES
SIMILARITIES
1. Predation
• This refers to the relationship between prey and predator. A
predator hunts, kills, and feeds on other organisms for survival. On
the other hand, prey is the food for predators.
• Predators are generally bigger and stronger. However, predation
can also manifest among the same kind of species.
92
2. Mutualism
• This is known as the “give-and-take” relationship. Both organisms
depend on each other in this relationship, and neither is harmed.
The clownfish has a safe place to live. The algae have a place to live. The

predators, the butterfly fish.
3. Competition
• This relationship occurs when species or organisms fight for the same
limited resources. These limited resources could be sunlight, food, or
space.
a. Intraspecific competition - a competition that occurs among
members of the same species
b. Interspecific competition - a competition that occurs among
members of different species
Algae and plankton compete for Groups of clownfish compete for space
sunlight (interspecific) in sea anemone (intraspecific)
93
4. Commensalism
• This refers to the relationship between two organisms in which one
organism benefits (commensal) while the other organism neither
benefits nor harms (host).
5. Parasitism
• This is a relationship involving an organism that benefits (parasite)
but causes harm to another organism (host).
a. Ectoparasites - parasites found outside the body
b. Endoparasites - parasites found inside the body
95
Formative Assessments

given below. Write your answer on the space provided.

Newton’s First Law of Motion or Law of Inertia states that “An object at rest tends
to remain at rest. An object in motion tends to move at a constant speed in a
straight line unless acted upon by an unbalanced external force.”
102
Note: Look how the force is applied against the frictional force and the force
applied in the direction of motion towards the frictional force.
Unbalanced Forces occur when the net force between two unequal forces acting
in opposite directions is not equal to zero. In other words, it speeds up or slows
down.
In the same example, Newton’s Second Law of Motion or Law of Acceleration can
also be seen if the girl pushes the table harder.
Newton’s Second Law of Motion states that “an object’s acceleration is directly
proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to the object’s
mass.” The behavior of an object is subject to change in speed or accelerate with
varying forces.
• Direct proportion means that when one-factor increases, the other factor also
increases, and vice versa.
• Inverse proportion means that when one factor increases, the other factor
decreases.
Balanced Forces are the force applied that does not always cause motion. This
type of force results in zero net force.
Examples:
A boy pushing a wall A girl sitting
103
Newton’s Third Law of Motion states that “for every action, there is always an equal
and opposite reaction.”
Examples:
Running Rowing a boat
Note: There is an equal force and opposite reaction for every action for them to
execute it.
Motion is the change in the position of an object with respect to a reference point.
Motion can be different for different observers.
104
How do we get the net force?
If the forces applied are opposite from each other, subtract the forces given.
17 N 28 N
Solution:
Since the forces applied are opposite from each other, use subtraction.
28N - 17N = 11N
The net force is 11N
If the forces applied are parallel to each other, add the forces.
34 N
21 N
Solution:
Since the forces applied are not opposite from each other, use addition.
34N + 21N = 55N
The net force is 55N.

LEARNING PACKETS IN SCIENCE
Third Quarter –Week 3
Topic: Speed
INDIVIDUAL ACTIVITY
In 15 minutes, do this activity at home by following the procedure below.
Be ready to share your observations in class.
Materials Needed:
1. 2 thick books
2. Ruler
3. Marble
4. Timer or stopwatch (app)
5. Meterstick (optional)
Procedure:
1. At one end of a long table, place one end of the ruler on the edge of
a book. The ruler’s groove should be on top.
2. Set a book at the other end of the table. Measure the length from the
book to the edge of the ruler on the table.
3. Record your data in the data table.
108
Data Table
Length (cm) Speed
Time (s)
(Distance) (distance ÷ time)
4. Set the marble at the top of the ruler’s groove. Release the marble. Let
it roll down the groove. Do not push the marble.
5. Start the stopwatch when the marble leaves the ruler. Push the stop
button when the marble reaches the book at the end of the table.
6. Record the time in the data table.
7. Use the data to calculate the speed of the marble. Use the formula
Guide Questions:
1. What is the total distance traveled by the marble?
2. How many seconds did the marble travel?
3. What data are needed to determine the speed of a moving object?
4. How can you solve the speed of a moving object?
When something is moving, you often ask how fast it is going or what its
speed is. Speed is a concept in motion which is the rate at which an object covers
distance. You can find the speed of an object if you know the distance traveled
by the object and the time taken by the object to travel this distance. You can
use the formula to find the speed of an object.
Distance - is the length between two points. It can also be used to figure out if an
object is moving.
109
Speed – is the measure of how fast or how slow something moves. The standard
unit for speed is meter per second (m/s). Tools like speedometers are used to
measure speed.
Explain the relationship of distance, time and speed using the following
formula:
𝐷𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒
Speed =
𝑇𝑖𝑚𝑒

Time =
