This lesson ensures that students know the meaning of key ecological terms and explains how biotic and abiotic factors control the distribution of organisms. The engaging PowerPoint and accompanying resources have been designed to cover points 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 of the Pearson Edexcel A-level Biology A (Salters Nuffield) specification and therefore cover the biological definitions of ecosystem, community, population and habitat.

A quiz round called REVERSE Biology Bingo runs throughout the lesson and challenges students to recognise the following key terms from descriptions called out by the bingo caller:

community
ecosystem
abiotic factor
photosynthesis
respiratory substrate
biomass
calorimetry
distribution
niche

The ultimate aim of this quiz format is to support the students to understand that any sugars produced by photosynthesis that are not used as respiratory substrates are used to form biological molecules that form the biomass of a plant and that this can be estimated using calorimetry. Links are made to photosynthesis and net primary productivity as these will be met later in topic 5 as well as challenging their prior knowledge of adaptations, classification and biological molecules. The final part of the lesson uses an exam-style question to get the students to recognise that biotic and abiotic factors control the distribution of organisms in a habitat and to recall the concept of niche.
