Lesson 2:

Abiotic / Biotic

Learning Intention

Students will be able to analyze how biotic and abiotic factors are interdependent (depend on each other) and limit the size of populations in an ecosystem.

Directions:

Step 1) Create a See, Think, Wonder chart in your notebook

Step 2) View the graph and fill out your chart.

Step 3) Turn n' Talk with your group. What do you see, think and wonder.

A lot of students wondered why some of the bug populations are decreasing.

It could be because of ABIOTIC or BIOTIC factors.

Both could be acting as LIMITING FACTORS.

Let's get familiar with these new science words...

Step 4

Abiotic vs Biotic

(10 min) (3E)

1) Abiotic Factors: The non-living factors in an environment such as water, soil and climate.

2) Biotic Factors: Living things, such as plants and animals, that are part of an ecosystem. Also includes food.

3) Limiting Factor: Anything that prevents a population from growing. Could be biotic or abiotic.
