ACTIVITY 3: BIOTIC ROLES

Provide a list of biotic things and have a discussion on how we could organize/categorize these things.

Discuss how there are many ways to classify things. Scientists work to classify organisms and the way
they classify them depends on what they are looking at or for.

Ask the students to sort the organisms by the job they do.

Moss (lumot) houseflies

ants mosquitoes
bacteria mold
bats (liplipot) mushrooms
beetles (abeb/ses-eetan) pine
serpent eagle (koling) raspberries
civet (motit) eel (dalit)
deer (ugsa) paltat (catfish species)
dragonflies (soyaw/galgal- “wading”
adan/kallipatong/)
Spiders (kawa)
earthworms
squirrels (alimaong)
grass
termites (aney)
