Sampling

Gain understanding of how to sample biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living) factors in an ecosystem, including plants, insects, and other organisms. Explore various sampling methods such as tree beating, kick netting, pond dipping, rock pooling, moth trapping, and pitfall traps. Learn about the sources of error and how to identify and monitor species in different environments.

  1. Sampling

  2. Biotic Factors(living) Abiotic Factors(non-living) Predators Light Intensity Disease Temperature Food Moisture Pollution

  3. How could we sample… Abiotic factors such as light intensity and moisture? Plants in an area? Insects on the ground?

  4. How could we catch our own living things to identify? Living things on the ground? Living things which fly? Living things on trees? Living things in streams? Living things in rockpools? Living things in ponds? Living things which come out at night? Think about plants and animals
