Concept Attainment • Guess the 2 concepts we are going to learn about today.
Biotic / Abiotic • Concept #1 = Biotic • The scientific term used for living things in an ecosystem • Concept #2 = Abiotic • The scientific term used for non-living things in an ecosystem
Biotic Components • Biotic Component – all living things (plants, animals, micro-organisms, and fungi) What are the biotic components in this picture?
Abiotic Components • Abiotic Component – all non-living things (water, sunlight, soil, weather) What are the abiotic components in this picture?
We Are All Connected • The environment is made up of both Biotic and Abiotic components. • Abiotic components have a large impact on life in the environment • (e.g. weather and types of animals ) • Can you think of a case where a biotic component has an effect on an abiotic component?
