5. Biotic vs Abiotic Factors Environment Biotic FactorsAbiotic Factors

6. Biotic vs Abiotic Factors Biotic = living (BIO = life) Abiotic = nonliving (without life) Biotic factors are all of the living things in an environment. Abiotic factors are all of the nonliving things in an environment.

24. Look back at your bell ringer Label the things you listed as either biotic or abiotic…

25. Biotic vs Abiotic Factors Environment Biotic FactorsAbiotic Factors Animals, plants, people, birdsWater, sunlight, soil, rocks, wind, temperature

26. Do biotic and abiotic factors affect each other?

27. If there is no water…can anything grow or survive? If it is extremely cold one winter, will that affect whether an animal makes it?

28. Do biotic and abiotic factors affect each other? If there is no water…can anything grow or survive? No! If it is extremely cold one winter, will that affect whether an animal makes it? No! So, abiotic and biotic DO affect each other. Even though water and temperature aren’t living things, they DO affect living things!

29. Exit Ticket 1. What does biotic mean? 2. What is an example of a biotic factor in an environment? 3. What does abiotic mean? 4. What is an example of an abiotic factor in an environment? 5. Give an example of how an abiotic factor can affect a biotic factor.
