Introduction
The Community of Madrid has a great variety of natural spaces in which there are numerous ecosystems. With
the proposed activities we aim to have a global vision of that variety of landscapes and biodiversity.
The richness of the diversity of these environments can be observed in an interactive way through the senses. In
this way we can approach our natural spaces in a different way. A sensory approach will give birth to greater
respect and love for those other traveling companions on planet Earth.
Objectives of the activity:
• Develop individual and team work habits, effort habits as well as self confidence attitudes.
• Develop critical sense, personal initiative, curiosity, interest and creativity in learning and
entrepreneurship.
• Understand and describe both the world of one´s own nature and that which man has built.
• Broaden the curiosity and eagerness to learn, acquire foundations of thought and broaden the field og
knowledge to better understand the world around you.
• Encourage logical and critical thinking, to establish cause-effect relationships.

Methodology
Activities will be carried out in a very practical way; using interactive presentations, videos, photographs,
games, etc. Teamwork will be encouraged for problem solving.
What is an ecosystem?
Ecosystems are communities of living beings that interact and are part of a physical environment that
provides them with the necessary conditions to live.
In all ecosystems we can distinguish three components:
• The array of living beings that inhabit the ecosystem.
• The physical environment, which is where the living beings of an ecosystem live.
• The relationships that are established between living beings, and also between them and the physical
environment in which they live.

Biotics and abiotics fators
The abiotic factors are the physical and chemical factors that determine the characteristics of a biotope: the
luminosity, pressure, temperature, humidity, salinity, etc. (temperature, precipitation, humidity,...) may be different
from those that determine aquatic ecosystems (salinity, light, depth...).
Biotic factors are those related to the living beings that inhabit a biotope and the relationships that establish each
other.

Madrid´s Ecosystems
The Community of Madrid, largely due to its physiographic and climatic variety, possesses a great diversity of
ecosystems, many of them in good state of conservation. In general it shows traces of past and current uses by
people. Today it is difficult to recognize our environment without the presence of these.

The types of vegetation
The vegetation type is Mediterranean, finding us in the
basement floor, with junipers, oaks and pine trees that give way
to oaks of melody, to those that replace when climbing even
more, the wild pine forests that occupy the upper limit of the
tree formations, only exceeded in altitude by thickets padded
with pyornal and Enebral dwarfs.
In the summits where the persistence of snow is very prolonged
for the development of woody vegetation, herbaceous plants
will appear, forming the high mountain pastures.
Altitudinal distribution of Madrid’s landscapes
Plant species, depending on the environmental requirements for their development,
occupy different territories. As we ascend, due to the geography of the Community of
Madrid, we can go into different landscapes. These different landscapes are classified by
the most characteristic species, but each and every one of them hosts a great richness
of species.
What happens when we lose biodiversity?
When biodiversity loss occurs in an ecosystem, it affects plant
productivity, soil fertility, water quality, atmospheric chemistry, and
many other environmental conditions, which ultimately affect
people’s welfare.
It only protects and conserves what is known and valued. This is why
it is important that we learn to value the environment in which we
live, from the diversity of the colors of the landscapes to the aromas
that envelop us, from the familiar sound of the wind to the soft touch
of a flower.

Protected natural areas
The most unique natural spaces for their beauty, their biological or
geological richness and their special scientific or landscape interest, are
under the protection of different legal figures that guarantee their
conservation and allow a respectful enjoyment by all.
In the Community of Madrid there are 9 Protected Natural Spaces,
which account for a total of 15% of the area of our autonomous
community.
The interactive map with the different protected natural spaces of the Community of Madrid.
You must download the file with the name of "previous third cycle activity EP"
By clicking on the existing numbers on the map, you will link to the website of the Department
of the Environment of the Community of Madrid. In order to use the file, it is necessary to have
an internet connection.
If you click on the text of the names of the different protected natural spaces, different
representative images of those spaces will appear.

Activity 1: Creating diversity
For the development of the activity the class will be divided into 4 groups, so they can work in teams.
There will be 4 tests per group, each test will have a 5 minute limit. Then the groups will share their
answers see if they have performed correctly and reflect on their responses. For each test they will
be given a piece that will serve to configure the image of a map of the Community of Madrid.
Activity 2: Long live diversity
During the activity, 4 activities will be carried out:
• Get Involved
• Diversify yourself
• From the valley to the mountains
• The most exclusive Madrileños
The different games will deal with different aspects of the ecosystems as they are; relations between
elements of the ecosystem, fragility vs diversity, diversity of the Madrid ecosystems, endemism.
We propose to the class that they send us photos of living beings that they find in the school yard,
the nearest park. With all the photos received a Poster of the biodiversity will be made that will be
completed as we get the images.
The images will be sent to [email protected] and will be posted on the
www.educambientalmadrid.com page.
