Symbiotic Relationships (3/17)

I can explain the relationships that exist between organisms in an ecosystem including both positive and negative.

Today's Running Agenda:

1. Warm Up: Video on Symbiosis. Students complete the definitions for each relationship on the Speed Dating Game.

2. Engage: Symbiotic Relationship Speed Dating Game. Find your assigned organism and complete the information. Students will spend 60 seconds sharing their information and then 30 seconds deciding which relationship may happen with 4 "partners." This is a copy of the worksheet that will be provided.

3. Explore: Symbiosis Notes. Students will need to make a copy to complete slide #8. A great matching game is linked on slide #10. (Warning: A time starts once you reach the quizlet page.)

4. Assess: Symbiosis Cartoons. Here is the list of relationships for students to create a cartoon that emphasizes the correct symbiotic relationship.
