Abiotic and Biotic Factors

Is The Lion King a good representation of ecology? Use this informative instructional activity in your science class to guide a discussion about abiotic and biotic factors from the Disney film. As they watch, young ecologists answer...

Students identify a local plant community and make a variety of measurements. They measure abiotic factors such as taking soil samples and making measurements of weather conditions on the day of the study.

Here is a fine science worksheet in which pupils look into biotic and abiotic factors. After a review of what these terms mean, learners list five biotic components and five abiotic components. Then, they must draw a picture of a biotic...

What are the characteristics of life? Young biologists will try to grasp this concept as they feel hidden objects and try to categorize them. In an extremely hands-on activity, stations are set up around the classroom and groups rotate...

Small groups investigate plots of land to discover how abiotic and biotic factors interact. After recording their findings, scholars share observations with peers and self-reflect on the learning process. 

The relationships within and between ecosystems can be explored. after examining an area for living and non-living things students complete the same examination in the forest ecosystem. Students identify abiotic and biotic elements in an...

Discover how much your young scientists know about biotic and abiotic factors with a two-question formative assessment that requires them to observe, list, and describe. 

In this ecosystem worksheet, students will distinguish between the abiotic factors and biotic factors shown in a diagram. Then students will correctly order the following: population, ecosystem, community, and organism.

How do ecosystems react to change over time? Show your class how natural and man-made factors affect the organisms in an area using the guidelines in a video about standard LS2C. Topics include biotic and abiotic factors, biodiversity,...

With the forest as an example, Sam and Zoe talk about the components biotic and abiotic of an ecosystem. They also discuss the role of producers, consumers, and decomposers. This concise clip covers all of the basics. As an introduction...
