Objectives:

1. Differentiate low from a high biodiversity

2. Give advantages of high over low biodiversity

3. Identify ecosystems with low and high

biodiversity
Innumerate the different classes of
chordates:
Based on the Video presented
above, how will you describe an
ecosystem with High biodiversity?
Give and discuss differences
between High and Low
Biodiversity.
Activity:
Do the Activity: What is the
importance of biodiversity to
ecosystems? On page 266 to 268
Analysis:
Which ecosystem/s have high
biodiversity? low biodiversity?
What will happen if a pest will attack
banana plants?
Analysis:
What biotic components are present
in this ecosystem?
Why is high biodiversity
advantageous over low biodiversity?
Abstract:
1.Differentiate low biodiversity from
a high biodiversity.
Abstract:

2. What are the advantages of having

a high biodiversity in the ecosystem?
Abstract:

3. Give examples of an ecosystem

with low biodiversity?
Application

How can people both, young and

old, help conserve biodiversity?
Assessment:
Directions: Choose the letter of the
correct answer.
1. Which ecosystem has high
biodiversity?
a. banana plantation c. fish pond
b. forest d. rice field
Assessment:
2. Which is a good characteristic of an ecosystem?
a. energy-intensive c. low productivity
b. high biological diversity d. labor-intensive
3. What is an on-site conservation of biodiversity?
a. maintenance of wildlife in captivity
b. maintenance of wildlife in their natural habitat
Assessment:
4. Why is offsite conservation carried out
I. To stop endangered species from declining
further
II. To remove the cause of decline of species
III. To ensure that the remaining members of the
species will live and reproduce their kind.
a. I c. I and II
b. II d. I and III
Assessment:
5. What does highest diversity means?
a. Has greatest number of species living in an
ecosystem
b. Some species have disappeared
c. Only some kind of species can be found in
area/ecosystem
d. Many species are endemic
Give/ suggest at least five possible
ways to attain high biodiversity in
the forest.
