1. Biome Project

2. Day 1
Biotic and abotic factors
Climatograms

3. Bio- means life
A- means without

4. Biotic factors are those things that have life.
Ex. Trees, squirrels, bears, humans

5. Abiotic factors are those things that are without life
Ex. Rocks, soil, water, wind, climate

6. Ecology is the study of the relationships between the biotic and abiotic factors.

7. Climatograms
Are graphs that show two important abiotic climatic factors – temperature and precipitation.
Temperature is plotted as a line graph.
Precipitation is plotted as a bar graph.

8. Day 2
Food chains/ food webs

9. Food Chain
shark
fish
paramecium
algae

12. Tertiary consumer
Secondary consumer
Primary consumer
producer

13. Day 3
Energy pyramids

14. bass
minnows
paramecium
algae

17. Day 4
niches

18. Habitat the place where an organism lives
Ex. A tadpole lives in a pond

19. uses in its environment
Niche:
all strategies and
adaptations a species
uses in its environment
to meet its needs at a
given time

20. Niche how an organism meets its needs for food and shelter
how and where it survives
where it reproduces

21. Niche includes that organisms interactions with biotic and abiotic parts of the habitat.

22. No two organisms can fill the same niche at the same time in the same habitat. So, each organisms niche is unique.

23. An organism in a niche has adaptations that give it an advantage over other organisms that may be competing for the same niche in the same environment.

24. Example: A leopard frog
lives in & along the shore of ponds
is a predator that captures insects with its sticky tongue
reproduces by laying jelly-like eggs in the shallow water

25. Day 5
Symbiosis
