This NY Regents prep site provides a nice overview of what abiotic and biotic factors of an ecosystem are, as well as a brief description of carrying capacity.

This lesson will explain how a limiting factor effects the size of a population. It is 3 of 4 in the series titled "Limiting Factor."

This lesson begins with a PowerPoint slideshow that covers important ecological concepts about biomes, limiting factors, carrying capacity, and population growth. Young scholars will look at the population dynamics involved with the...

Students learn the many ecological factors that affect the carrying capacity for populations of wild species.

Abiotic factors vary in the environment and determining the types and numbers of organisms that exist in that environment. Factors which determine the types and numbers of organisms of a species in an ecosystem are called limiting...

This lesson introduces students to their task of designing a permanent guest village within the Saguaro National Park. The design must provide a true desert experience to visitors while also emphasizing sustainable design, protection of...

Students control the environments in four different scenarios to discover how any changes might affect populations. The different simulations include microorganisms, rabbits, foxes, and other organisms.
