Abiotic vs Biotic Venn Diagram
Based on your knowledge of abiotic and biotic factors, you will create a Venn Diagram placing
terms in either a circle representing biotic or abiotic factors. Remember, abiotic factors are
anything that has never lived and biotic is anything that is living or was once living.
Working in groups of two or three, use Smart Notebook to create a slide with a Venn Diagram.
On this slide place the following words within the appropriate circle. If a term has the
characteristics of both, then place these terms in the intersection of the two circles.
Be sure to label which circle represents biotic and which circle represents abiotic
