What is
a nice
landscape to you

Think of background for

computers, hiking, or

want to live in a place

with a perfect view

Open Ended

What is a beautiful landscape to you? Think:computer backgrounds, places to watch the sun go down, enjoy a view of nature.

CAMERA POLICY

Teachers will send a private message then verbal warning if a student’s camera is
not on. Continued non-camera use will result in moving up the discipline ladder.

First offense: Teacher conferences with student and documents in IC.

Second offense: Teacher conferences with student, contacts LC and documents in
IC.

Third offense: Teacher conferences with student, contacts LC, sends over to
academic coach for support and documents in IC.

Fourth offense: Academic coach submits discipline referral to discipline AP

Please make sure to turn your camera on at the beginning of each class.

You can set it to private (only teacher sees) or public (everyone sees).

Tuesday JAnuary 9th

Standard

SEV1. Obtain, evaluate, and
communicate information to
investigate the flow of energy and
cycling of matter within an ecosystem.

a. Develop and use a model to
compare and analyze the levels of
biological organization including
organisms, populations, communities,
ecosystems, and biosphere.

Learning Target

I can identify and label

the last 3 levels of
ecological hierarchy.

Why do we need to understand
what an

ecosystem is?

This symbol means its a HOT question. HOT stands for Higher Order Thinking. It’s a question to keep in mind throughout the
lesson. Don’t worry if you can’t answer it at the beginning of the lesson - you should be able to answer it by the end though

Organizing Our Environment

We organize our environment from smallest (one single

living thing) to largest (the whole world).

ORGANISM

An organism is one single
living thing.

You are an organism.

A group of the same
organisms is called a
population.

POPULATION

A population is a group of the
same organism.

Populations are made up of
biotic (living) things.

Populations that interact with
one another are called
communities.

COMMUNITY

A community is made up of all
the different species that
interact in a habitat.

Communities are made up of
biotic factors only.

Organisms and populations come
together to make a community.

Ecosystem

A ecosytem is made up of all
the different species and
nonliving things interact in a
habitat.

Ecosystems are made up of biotic
and abiotic factors.

Abiotic factors are air, land,
and water.

Which level describes US, the
temperature, AND the CHAIRS in
a class?

Multiple Choice

The Yellowstone National
Park is a place preserved
for nature(Animals and
plants). What is a part of

Mastery of Environmental

Science

Do you have a favorite pet, animal, or plant.

Go in your group’s discussion and share

box. Why use kitty

liter?

The biotic factors are alive and need to be in healthy

conditions both inside and outside of it

The placement of water

availability and temperature

in a large region of the

planet

What do you think is

the reason for the
amount of sunlight

The equator is the
area that gets the

most sunlight

The world’s complete list of

life

The biosphere is life

on the planet

The biosphere can

be found in the

atmosphere,

lithosphere, and

hydrosphere

The first 3 levels (organism, population, community) are made up
of only BIOTIC factors.

BIOTIC means living

The last 3 levels (eosystem, biome, biosphere) are made up of ABIOTIC
factors.

BIOTIC means living

abiotic is nonliving

What are some examples of biotic factors in an environment?

What are some examples of abiotic (without life) factors?

There are many unique abiotic
features in an

ecosystem.

Samantha wants to study how
the life in the movile cave are
able to thrive. She is focusing on
the chemical reaction from
changing sulphur into carbon
dioxide. Which level of biological
organization will she be
studying?

Multiple Choice

Samantha wants to study how
the life in the movile cave are
able to thrive. She is focusing on
the chemical reaction from
changing sulphur into carbon
dioxide. Which level of biological
organization will she be
studying?

• 👍 organism

• 👎 population

• ✔ community

• ❌ ecosystem

Bacteria in the cave use a process
called chemosynthesis to convert
sulfur compounds and ammonia into
chemical energy. This energy drives
the bacteria's primary production,
which creates floating mats of living
matter.

ecosystem

Lesson review

➢The environment is broken down
into levels of organization.

➢Each level builds upon the
previous level.

➢The first three levels are made up
of only biotic factors.

➢The last three levels are made up
of both biotic and abiotic
factors.

➢A habitat is the place an
organisms lives.

➢A niche is the job the organisms
does within the ecosystem.

➢Organisms are interdependent upon
each other, and the ecosystem will
fail if all the niches are not
maintained.
