and
ABIOTIC (non-living things)
components in a given area,

to play to maintain balance in
an ecosystem.

■What are the biotic and abiotic
factors found in your ecosystem?
■How do these biotic and abiotic
factors interact with one another?

■What is the difference between

natural and artificial ecosystem?

Boys VS. Girls
You will be given pictures and strip
of papers with words in it.
Arrange the pictures from simple to
complex and label them using the
given words.
 LEVEL OF
ORGANIZATION IN AN
ECOSYSTEM

In the diagram above, you will
notice that Gill, the goldfish, is
interacting with its environment,
and will only crossbreed with
Individual, Species,
Organism 
• An individual is any living
thing or organism.
• Individuals do not breed
with individuals from other
groups.
• Animals, unlike plants, tend
to be very definite with this
term because some plants
 Population:
• A group of individuals of a
given species that live in a
specific geographic area at
a given time.
• Note that populations
include individuals of the
same species, but may
(example is Gill and his have different genetic
family and friends and other makeup such as
fishes of Gill’s species) hair/eye/skin color and
 Community:
• This includes all the
populations in a specific area
at a given time.
• A community includes
populations of organisms of
different species. A great
community usually includes
biodiversity.
In the diagram above, note how populations of
gold fishes, salmons, crabs and herrings coexist
 Ecosystem:
Ecosystems include
more than a community
of living organisms
(biotic) interacting with
the environment
(abiotic).
At this level note in the diagram how they
depend on other abiotic factors such as rocks,

Let’s Go OUT!
We will go out the classroom and you will
list all the biotic and abiotic factors
found in the school.
