What is one difference between
primary succession and
secondary succession?
What is one similarity?
ESSENTIAL QUESTION:
How does biodiversity lead to a stable
ecosystem?
OBJECTIVES:
-Observe the factors within a microhabitat
-Define population, community, and
ecosystem
MICROHABITAT
a specific, small-scale environment in which
Microhabitat:
organisms live.
MICROHABITAT
-Look for a organisms under rocks or other
hidden places. Make sure you are gentle and
RETURN rocks to original spot.
-Using your student sheet, you will draw
different BIOTIC and ABIOTIC parts of the
micro-habitat that is the courtyard.
Courtyard Expectations
• Level 0 in hallway
• No more than a level 2 voice in courtyard.
• Classes are in session around us. Do not
disturb them.
• Stay in 1 place and focus on the tiny details
of the microhabitat!
HABITAT DEBRIEF
• Which species stay in the micro-habitat of the
courtyard?
• Which species enjoy a larger habitat than just
the courtyard?
What if?
Turn and talk
What might happen to the microhabitat
(courtyard) if the population of raccoons were
to increase on the O. Henry campus?
Definition
• Fill in the following definition for HABITAT on
your student sheet:
HABITAT:
A particular type of environment regarded as a
home for organisms.
Levels of Organization
• Label the levels of organization on your sheet
DEFINITIONS
With your table group, come up with your own
definition of the following….
Population
Community
Ecosystem
POPULATION
• a group of organisms of the same species
living in a specific area
COMMUNITY
• A group of organisms from different species
living in the same place and interacting with
each other.
ECOSYSTEM
• The interaction between organisms and their
physical environment.

Reminder:
-Write the question(s)
-Write in complete sentences
What is the difference between
a community and a population?
What is the very top level of our
biological levels of organization?
ESSENTIAL QUESTION:
How does biodiversity lead to a stable
ecosystem?
OBJECTIVES:
-Observe how organisms benefit each
other
-Explore symbiotic relationships and
how they relate to adaptations
VIDEO
• TED ED - Symbiosis
THINK
Review
• For multiple choice questions, answer
individually on your dry erase board.
• For open-ended questions, turn and talk to
your partner to come up with an answer
• Be prepared to share.
Symbiotic Relationship example
Creative Interpretation
In your notebook on page_____, pick one:
1. Describe a symbiotic relationship between two
or three organisms.
• The relationship can exist, or you can make it
up (including the organisms)
• Must be at least one page.
2. Draw a detailed diagram that represents a real
or fictional symbiotic relationship.
• Must be in color
• Must be labeled in detail

What is a symbiotic
relationship? Give an example.
ESSENTIAL QUESTION:
How does biodiversity lead to a stable
ecosystem?
OBJECTIVES:
-Create succession plots
-Explore biodiversity and how it
relates to biomes
Succession Plot
Drawing
Abiotic/Biotic Factors
KEY:
Primary Succession
Secondary Succession
Predictions: What will you observe a week from now?
Week 1:
Week 2:
1000 Year prediction:
Succession Plot
• We will go outside and scrape out all of the
plant life from 1 square foot of soil.
• You will draw the plot with pencil.
• You will record any biotic or abiotic factors you
observe in the plot.
• You will predict what it will look like in one
week.
Outside Expectations
• Level 0 in hallway
• No more than a level 2 voice outside.
• Classes are in session near us. Do not disturb
them.
• Stay in 1 place and focus on the tiny details
of the succession plot!
BIODIVERSITY IQ TEST
Lets see how much you already know about
organisms!
Answer the questions on your sheet.

shoulder partner.
• Discuss whether you would like to visit that
Biome and why or why not.
