Instructions

Play through this interactive game to learn about Interactions in Ecosystems. Suitable for Grade 6, Grade 7, Grade 8.

Main Concepts

In a social hierarchy or society, individuals within a population have different roles.

The major terrestrial ecosystems on Earth are classified into biomes.

Populations that rely on each other for basic needs form interdependent communities.

Populations of one species may cooperate with other populations for resources.

Examples of biotic factors are: producers, consumers, and decomposers.

Different populations interact to form communities.

A population is a group of organisms of the same species in a region.

A biotic factor is a living component of an ecosystem.

Organisms in an ecosystem are dependent on their environmental interactions for survival.

Examples of abiotic factors are: temperature, climate, availability of nutrients, sunlight, water, and nutrient-rich soil.

An ecosystem consists of a group of living things and the environment in which they live.

Earth's major aquatic ecosystems include: freshwater, estuaries, and marine.

Some changes to abiotic factors in an ecosystem are caused by natural forces, such as natural hazards.

Competition for sunlight affects the growth of a plant.

Human activities can cause changes in the size, quality, and structure of a habitat.

Earth's major biomes are located in different regions throughout the Earth.

Individuals in a population may cooperate with one another to meet their basic needs.

An abiotic factor is a non-living component of an ecosystem.

Earth's major terrestrial biomes include: tropical rain forest, savanna, temperate forest, desert, grassland, taiga, and tundra.

The availability of food and water vary in different biomes on Earth.

Discussion Questions

Before the Game

What is an ecosystem? What are some examples? How do animals and plants rely on each other in an environment to survive?

After the Game

What is the difference between biotic and abiotic things in an ecosystem? What are the characteristics of each of the ecosystems you explored in this game? What were examples of interactions between the biotic and abiotic factors in each ecosystem? What are the stages in the life cycle of a frog? What are some examples of natural disasters that can destroy an ecosystem? What are three things we can do to protect our ecosystems?
