Vocabulary • Habitat • Biotic factor • Abiotic factor
Vocabulary • Population • Community • Ecosystem • Ecology
What does an organism get from its environment? • Food, water, shelter • Things to live, grow, and reproduce
Habitat • Environment where organism lives • With your Pair Share partner, describe the habitat of a prairie dog or sunfish, you choose! • Include three things that allow the organism to live, grow, or reproduce
What are the two parts of an organism’s habitat? • Biotic and Abiotic
How is an ecosystem organized? • Organism, population, community, ecosystem
As a class… • Fill in the parts of the ecosystem:
Pair Share Review • Name the biotic factors in the ecosystem.
Pair Share Review • Name the abiotic factors in the ecosystem.
Pair Share Review Living Things and the Environment worksheet due at the end of the hour!
Vocabulary • Limiting factor • Carrying capacity
How do populations change in size? • Organisms leave or die, populations smaller • Organisms join or are born, populations larger
What factors limit population growth? Climate p. 15 Space limits growth Food Water
Discuss with Pair Share partner: • What four things limit population size?
Partner Review • Populations graphing due at the end of the hour!
Vocabulary • Natural selection • Adaptation • Niche • Competition • Predation
How do adaptations help an organism survive? • Adaptations = traits that an organism had to eat, grow, or reproduce • Some are better than others!
Butterfly Traits Behaviors PHYSICAL TRAITS Long tongue v short tongue Bright wings v dull wings Wide span wings v short wings • Migrate v. stay in environment • Strong sense of smell v weak sense of smell
Natural Selection • Natural process • The strongest adaptations will allow for survival • The weaker adaptations will result in death!
Back to the butterflies… Which butterfly will naturally be more likely to survive and reproduce? Why?
Natural selection assumes that the weaker traits or behaviors will cause a part of a species to die out!
What are competition and predation? • Competition – struggle for limited resources • Niche – animals “job”
Predation • Predator hunts, eats prey
Vocabulary • Symbiosis • Mutualism • Commensalism • Parasitism
