Organisms are affected by
both biotic and abiotic factors.
A habitat is the natural home
or environment of an organism.
Biological organization is
organizing the various levels of
biological complexity, from the
simplest to the most complex,
using a reductionist approach,
which means that complex
systems are understood by
breaking them down into their
constituent parts. This

LEVELS OF LIFE IN THE WILD
Objectives: To observe and understand the
different levels of biological organization
present in a natural environment.
• create a visual representation, such as a poster
or diagram, illustrating the different levels of
biological organization they observed during
the outdoor activity. Then, discuss the
importance of conservation and how
understanding levels of biological organization
can help in preserving ecosystems.
