Defining an Ecosystem
To better understand the difference between Biotic and Abiotic factors within the ecosystem, a lesson was developed that differentiated for both learning styles and levels of readiness. The first link is for a SMARTboard presentation that assists in introducing students to Biotic and Abiotic factors within the ecosystem.

The second link is to a short worksheet. The sheet can be used as a place for students to record their observations of different factors within their school yard. After the chart is filled out, students can be paired up to discuss their findings.

Basic Needs
In learning about the 5 basic needs of all living things, three different learning activities were developed to assist in the differentiation of learning styles. A SMARTboard presentation was developed that included all of the important definitions for this topic.

In addition to the presentation, students were asked to create a foldable that would be glued into their interactive notebooks. Sample foldables are linked below.
