Wetlands Biotic and Abiotic Interactions | Paper and Digital

Students can learn about living and non-living things in wetland ecosystems through these activities and assessments. This lesson uses inductive learning and includes modifications for a variety of learning needs with minimal preparation for you. 

This resource is part of our Wetlands Unit. 

This engaging resource includes:

• complete lesson plans with options to differentiate for your students.
• background information on biotic and abiotic factors in wetland ecosystems.
• instructions for inductive learning teaching strategy.
• student worksheets and templates.
• answer keys and suggested answers.
• plants and animals that are native to Canada. Sorry, no alligators.

This resource is based on the old Alberta curriculum. We have a better resource for Alberta teachers in Grade 6: Biotic and Abiotic Factors in Ecosystems.

This resource supports:

• any upper elementary or middle school science unit about wetlands or ecosystems.
