6TH GRADE
•describe biotic and abiotic parts of an ecosystem in which organisms interact.
8TH GRADE
8.11B: investigate how organisms and populations in an ecosystem depend on and may compete for biotic and abiotic factors such as quantity of light, water, range of temperatures, or soil composition.
BIOLOGY

Higher level questions• “Research shows there’s a link between critical thinking skills and increased student achievement in the
classroom.” (Moore & Stanley, 2010)
• Higher level questions must be planned in order to be implemented effectively in the classroom.
• Levels of Questions
• Knowledge
• Comprehension
• Application
• Analysis
• Synthesis
• Evaluation
• Plan and provide a variety of questions at each level and build student knowledge and critical thinking by providing Higher Level Questions.

What is competition?
How do organisms and
populations depend on and
compete for biotic and abiotic
factors in an ecosystem?
How do competition and environmental changes affect
survival of species?
How do organisms
interact with their environment?

determine which species in your
school yard compete most for the contents of the
compost bin?

• Interactive Word Walls Article: http://learningcenter.nsta.org/files/ss1103_45.pdf
• “Word walls can be arranged on cupboard doors or classroom walls, or hung from the ceiling with wire and string.”
• “Maximum instructional potential and efficiency are achieved when interactive word-wall construction is aligned with lessons and students are allowed to participate in the process. As a result, walls are usually built over many days and are finished as a unit nears completion. Word walls support units and are changed or replaced as units change.”
