Exit Ticket

  1. Name one biotic and one abiotic part of your soil sample.
  1. Write one observation and one inference about your sample.
  1. Write one testable question about the garden soil.

Answer Key / Look-Fors: (1) Biotic: root, worm, ant, fungus thread, dead leaf; abiotic: sand, rock, water, air. (2) Observation uses the senses (dark brown, damp); inference explains (it is damp because it is shaded). (3) A question with something measurable: “Does the bed or the path have more organisms per sample?”
