Each second represents one slide on the actual Powerpoint Presentation. THE ABIOTICOFE covers ecology topics associated with the seven abiotic factors: Light, Temperature, Water, Wind, and Fire. This OFE also covers biogeochemical cycles (See list below for more topics covered). This unit includes an interactive and engaging Powerpoint Presentation of 984 slides with built in class notes (Red Slides), lab activities, project ideas, discussion questions, assessments (Quiz Wiz), and challenge questions with answers. Text for class notes is in large print (32 font) and is placed at the top of each slide so it can seen and read from all angles of a classroom.
