Warm up: 1. What is ecology? 2. What is an ecosystem? Itinerary: 1. Powerpoint with 8 definitions (on notes sheets) 2. Practice sorting (game!) Levels of Organization Objective: You will be able to put the levels of organization of life in the proper order and give an example for each. You will be able to differentiate between biotic and abiotic factors. Word 1. Ecology Definition The study of the environment and the interactions of organisms in the environment Picture Word 2. Organism Definition Living thing Picture Word Definition A group of the 3. Population same species living together. Example: pride of lions, Christmas tree farm Picture Word 4. Community Definition A group of the different species (2 populations) living together.
