Abiotic & Biotic Factors Card Sort for Living & Non-Living Things in Ecosystems

An abiotic & biotic card sort activity containing 102 living & non-living components of an ecosystem! Great hands-on activity for your ecology/ecosystem unit.

Will there be terms your students don't know?

Thankfully YES!
This resource will not limit discovery and will encourage curiosity.

All in the name of learning and vocabulary building!

The entire class may collectively participate in sorting the wide variety of factors contained in this resource. Laminate, add some magnets, and sorting may take place on the whiteboard.

Included in this resource:

• 1-page teacher notes.
• 2-pages abiotic & biotic placemats.
• 34-pages abiotic & biotic factors to sort. (3 per page, landscape, large size.)
• 2-pages answers.
• 2-pages blank templates (for additional factors).

• 5-Easel activities.
  Each contains 2-slides with 10-factors to sort on each slide.
  Terms are strategically placed so the least specialized terms are found in Easel activity #1
  (i.e. fish, wind, sand, bees).
  Terms become more specialized as students progress through to Easel activity #5
  (i.e. turbidity, salinity).
  Auto-grading & students may self-check their understanding using this tool.
  These are great for formative assessment.

• 10-Easel assessments.
  Each contains 10-factors to sort.
  Terms are mixed together.
  Auto-grading & students may self-check their understanding using this tool.
  These are great for summative assessment.
