What is an oxygen

bar?

People are trying to
appreciate nature and

staying healthy.

Open Ended

What are some abiotic factors that we buy and use to sustain(healthy over a long period of time) ourselves?

We organize our environment from smallest (one single

living thing) to largest (the whole world).

Which of the following is the correct order of
biological organization from the simplest to the
most complex?

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 6 levels of ecological

hierarchy.

Why do we need to understand biome?

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 the life on the whole planet?

organism

biosphere

biome

ecosystem

Multiple Choice

What level describes all the life on the planet

• 1 level

• 6 level

• 5 level

• 3level

Which level describes life
on the planet?

Biosphere

Did you get it right, ready for mastery?

Want to watch a video and review it one

more time?

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 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

Ecosystems are the
area for life to exist.

The biotic factors and abiotic factors will cycle

themselves to continue life, how?

Maze

Now You Try It

Complete the second and third slide of the chart using

the word ecosystem and biome.

Have questions? Need help? Hop over to BOR 1.

Done? Research the next level and add it to your next row

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

BIOTIC means living

What are some examples of biotic factors in an environment?

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

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?

Organisms, populations,

and communities are

ONLY made up of biotic

factors

All of the different
populations that live and
interact with each other and
the abiotic factors in their
habitat called a(n) ____?

organism

population

community

ecosystem

Multiple Choice

All of the different
populations that live and
interact with each other and
the abiotic factors in their
habitat called a(n)

• population

• community

• ecosystem

• biome

Plants/producers use a process
called photosynthesis to convert
light, water, and CO2 into potential
energy.

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.

Exit ticket
