Describe qualities of the 7 abiotic factors that
you can find here in Shelbyville
Ex: Topographically, there are very few
mountains, mostly hilly with a few small
ponds/lakes…

Vocab Quiz
Food Web Activity
Announcements:
On your cell phone, download
Celly and look for Wampler
science.
Today’s Learning Target:
I can visualize trophic interactions
via a food web
4. NEW UNIT:
Construct an argument supported by empirical evidence that
changes to physical or biological components of an ecosystem
affect population
AND…
Evaluate competing designs for maintaining biodiversity and
ecosystem services

6. Quiz
When you get the quiz,
write your name at the
very top of the page.
When you are finished, close
your manila folder and wait. If
you haven’t gotten your laptop

7. Quiz
1.) Turn your quiz face down.
2.) Add your colored name cover
3.)Paper-clip it.
4.) Flip the quiz over to begin
grading
- 1, 2 = 4
- 3,4 = 3
- 5,6 = 2
- 6 or more = 1
8. Ecosystems
With your partner, pick an ecosystem that you both know
about.
This is NOT a research project. If you need to get a little
more information on a few species, that is fine!
Fair warning: If you spend all of your time researching,
you’ll miss the main point of this food web
11. Your Task:
1.) With your shoulder partner, choose a natural (not a farm or other man made outdoor area)
ecosystem you are familiar with.
2.) Write down the abiotic factors of your ecosystem. Go through all 7 abiotic factors and
write down what each one of them looks like in your ecosystem.
3.) Once you are sure you know about the biotic and abiotic factors in the ecosystem, begin
drawing the biotic factors on your sheet. Draw the picture, color it in, write the level
(producer, primary consumer, etc) below it.
4.) You need AT LEAST 5 examples of producers
5.) At least 3 primary consumers, at least 3 secondary consumers
6.) At least 2 tertiary consumers
7.) At least 1 Scavenger and 1 decomposer in your ecosystem
14. Exit Slip
How do you think changes to abiotic factors affect
populations?
Give two examples of how a change in the physical
environment can upset the balance of an ecosystem.
