Activity 1:
FIRST OUTSIDE LAB
ACTIVITY!!!
Standard:
SEV2. Students will
demonstrate an understanding
that the Earth is one
interconnected system.
a. Describe how the abiotic
components (water, air, and
energy) affect the biosphere.
b. Recognize and give examples
of the hierarchy of the biological
entities of the biosphere
(organisms, populations,
communities, ecosystems, and
biosphere).
c. Characterize the components
that define a Biome. Abiotic
Factors – to include precipitation,
temperature and soils. Biotic
Factors – plant and animal
adaptations that create success in
that biome.
d. Characterize the components
that define fresh-water and marine
systems.
Abiotic Factors – to include light,
dissolved oxygen, phosphorus,
nitrogen, pH and substrate.
Biotic Factors – plant and animal
adaptations characteristic to that
system.
