Ecosystem
• Ecosystem – All living and the non-living parts found in a particular place
• Living components – biotic
• Non-living components - abiotic

Remember!
Biotic Factors – BE CAREFUL
• Biotic – Living, or lived before (organic matter/contains carbon)
• Abiotic – Not living, and never lived before (Physical and chemical aspects)

• It’s worksheet time
Warmer
• Two minutes - A British person moves to Thailand. A Thai person moves to

Acclimation - Warmer
• The British person will feel extremely hot.
The Thai person will feel extremely cold.

migration. Explain why they move.
Human migration example: People from African countries migrating to
Europe/other surrounding countries
Why: Europe has more opportunities to work, is safer, less civil war
Why: During winter, the birds migrate to warmer climates with more favourable
abiotic factors
Migration Questions – Group Task
•How does migration/hibernation solve problems in an environment?
•How do birds benefit by laying eggs in spring?
The Niche – Warmer Task
• Two minutes: What’s your speciality/talent/role in the class?
