2.2 Measuring ecosytems - abiotic factors task.pptx

1. 2.2 Measuring Ecosystems
- Abiotic components

2. Task
For each of the
following areas:
1. The sea
2. A lake
3. Land
4. Air
a) Remind yourself of the difference
between biotic and abiotic factors.
b) Find a picture that shows a stereotype of
the ecosystem.
c) Decide what abiotic factors will affect your
system. Annotate the picture you found
with labels showing each factor. (6 factors
for each area.)
d) For each abiotic factor you have labeled
state in detail how it can be measured
throughout the ecosystem. (You can copy
and paste but be frugal the more you
paste the more you have to read! And
don’t forget to record the source.)
e) Evaluate each method of measurement.
(How accurate is it? How easy is it to do?
How much des it cost to do?)
f) Delete these instructions.
