Fascinating Factors

Young scholars identify biotic and abiotic factors. In this environmental study lesson, students conduct a series of experiments to collect and record data and draw conclusions based on the results. 

A lesson plan in which students explore plant communities and observe and classify different types of vegetation. Includes discussion questions, extension activities and web links, a vocabulary glossary, and handouts.

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 young scholars complete the same examination in the forest ecosystem. Students identify abiotic and biotic elements...

Students examine abiotic and biotic factors. They define biotic and abiotic, categorize a list of items onto a Venn diagram, label various items from areas on the school grounds as biotic or abiotic, and diagram a magazine picture.

Students define and compare/contrast abiotic and biotic factors presented while using web cameras on the Web World Wonders website.

In this ecosystem worksheet, students investigate an ecosystem at a local park or national forest, they make observations for five minutes, they complete a grid of their observations and they construct a hypothetical food chain. Students...

An ecosystem is composed of biotic factors of a community of living organisms interacting with one another which we can see in food chains/webs. These diverse organisms stay together because of the need of food. Population is referred to...
