Student Worksheet<br />

Instructions<br />

You are looking for living (biotic) things, such as birds, insects, or plants, <strong>and</strong> for non-living (abiotic)<br />

things such as water, dirt, or sunshine. When you find something, write the name of the item in the<br />

table. Next, add your observations, such as where you saw it <strong>and</strong> what it was doing (if alive). For<br />

each item you observe, check a box to identify if it is biotic <strong>and</strong> alive, biotic but now dead, or abiotic.<br />

When you return to the classroom, answer the questions at the bottom of the page.<br />
