Biotic vs Abiotic Factors
Biotic = living (BIO = life)
Abiotic = nonliving

Biotic factors are all of the living things in an


environment.

Abiotic factors are all of the nonliving things


in an environment.

Think about if you were outside. List some
abiotic and biotic factors you would see.

Think about all of the abiotic and biotic
factors you might find in a pond…

You have 15 seconds to write down as

Biotic vs Abiotic Factors

Environment

Biotic Factors Abiotic Factors

Animals, plants, people, birds Water, sunlight, soil, rocks,


wind, temperature
Do biotic and abiotic factors
affect each other?
Do biotic and abiotic factors
affect each other?

If there is no water…can anything grow or survive?

If it is extremely cold one winter, will that affect


whether an animal makes it?
Do biotic and abiotic factors
affect each other?
If there is no water…can anything grow or survive?
No!
If it is extremely cold one winter, will that affect
whether an animal makes it?
No!

So, abiotic and biotic DO affect each other. Even


though water and temperature aren’t living
things, they DO affect living things!

Independent Practice
Tell me a story of about how abiotic and biotic
factors play a role in your life.

For example, “Everyday morning I wake up and brush my


teeth with toothpaste. Then I say hi to my mom and eat a
bowl of cereal. I change my clothes, feed the dog, and
walk outside to catch the bus. Sometimes I hear birds
chirping on the way.”
Abiotic factors: toothpaste, cereal, bus
Biotic Factors: My mom, my dog, birds

You need to include at least 3 abiotic factors and 3


biotic factors and list them or draw them at the
end.
