Science and Nature

Scientific Concepts / Nature Phenomena Presented

Environment (lutr. “lingkungan hidup”)

Definition (Law No. 32 of 2009): The environment is a unified space that includes objects, forces/conditions, and living things that affect the continuity of life.

Components of the environment:

  • Biotic (biological/living): all living organisms, from bacteria to humans, including microorganisms.
  • Abiotic (physical/non-living): non-living physical factors such as air, water, soil, sunlight, and temperature.
  • Socio-cultural: human value systems and behaviors toward nature.

Ecology and Ecosystem

  • Ecology: the science that studies reciprocal (mutual) relationships among components of the environment.
  • Ecosystem: the interaction system between living (biotic) and non-living (abiotic) components.

Biotic Components and Trophic Roles

Producers (Autotrophs)

  • Make their own food via photosynthesis.
  • Convert carbon dioxide + water + sunlight into glucose and oxygen.

Consumers (Heterotrophs)

  • Obtain energy by eating other organisms.
  • Categories based on diet:
    • Herbivores (e.g., cows)
    • Carnivores (e.g., tigers)
    • Omnivores (e.g., humans)
    • Insectivores (e.g., frogs)
    • Saprophages / scavengers (referred to as “saprophores” in the subtitles; e.g., flies) that eat remains of organisms

Decomposers

  • Decompose dead organisms and return nutrients to the soil.

Abiotic Components and Their Roles

  • Sunlight: main energy source enabling photosynthesis.
  • Temperature: affects the rate of metabolic processes in living things.
  • Water: acts as a solvent and a habitat.
  • Air: provides oxygen for respiration.
  • Soil: stores nutrients and supports plant growth.

Levels/Organization in Ecological Systems

Hierarchy (Smallest to Largest)

Individual → Population → Community → Ecosystem → Biome → Biosphere

Formation Types

  • Natural ecosystems: formed by nature (examples: wilderness, rivers, seas).
  • Artificial (man-made) ecosystems: created by humans (examples: rice fields, reservoirs, aquariums).

Real-World Ecosystem Example: Role of Decomposers in Rice Fields

If earthworms (decomposers) disappeared from rice fields:

  • Soil fertility and rice plant growth would be affected.
  • Without decomposers (earthworms, bacteria, fungi), dead matter wouldn’t break down.
  • Dead organisms would accumulate as carcasses/organic waste.

Key idea: decomposers recycle nutrients so the cycle can continue:

decomposers → nutrients in soil → producers → start of life cycle

Human Responsibility / Environmental Balance

Suggested actions for students:

  • Save water
  • Don’t litter plastic waste at school
