Do biotic and abiotic factors

No!
If it is extremely cold one winter, will that affect whether an animal makes it?
No!

things, they DO affect living things!

Independent Practice Tell me a story of about how abiotic and biotic
factors play a role in your life.
For example, “Everyday morning I wake up and brush my
teeth with toothpaste. Then I say hi to my mom and eat a bowl of cereal. I change my clothes, feed the dog, and walk outside to catch the bus. Sometimes I hear birds chirping on the way.”
Abiotic factors: toothpaste, cereal, bus
Biotic Factors: My mom, my dog, birds
