A rubric and "Puzzle" outline for groups or individuals to create a diagram project of the levels of organization in an ecosystem. Students must diagram the levels of organization correctly and have a scientific definition of each level. Give each group/student an ecosystem and they will list the level in the correct place, the definition, examples of each level in their ecosystem, and also draw a picture of the examples. There are 4 pieces that can be cut apart for individual work and then g

A great way to assess understanding of the two different types of ecological succession! I've included two different formats; one the students can write on and one they can cut and glue like a card sort. The written one has two to a page to save paper and also so it can fit into the INB. The card sort/cut and paste can also fit into an INB. There are a total of 10 words/scenarios to sort so it can quickly be graded as well.

This is a fun lab that can be used as an engage and then evaluate or all of it as an evaluate to make connections on the results of offspring in asexual and sexual reproduction. Connected to TEKS 7.14(B)^ compare the results of uniform or diverse offspring from sexual reproduction or asexual reproduction. and process standard 7.3(C) identify advantages and limitations of models such as size, scale, and properties, and materials. Included are teacher directions with supply list, lab sheet, and

Use this to help organize the vocabulary that accompanies food webs and ecosystems. Vocabulary included: Decomposers Consumers Producers Herbivore Omnivore Carnivore Primary Consumer Secondary Consumer Tertiary Consumer Quaternary Consumer Food Chain Food Web Energy Pyramid And and extra place for notes you deem fit. For example "The arrows point in the direction that energy flows" Can print at 80% to fit into the INB.

Allow students to explore ecological succession by using the embedded website and questions. Answers included. I uploaded this and made a copy for each student and allowed them to explore the types of succession while answering questions. In the end, my students were able to explain succession and much of the vocabulary to me without having directly taught it. I've taught this lesson for 6 years and this is the first time I used this site and accompanying lesson and it was powerful!

Students work in groups of 4 to complete a presentable project to the class. This lesson plan includes a rubric to grade the analogy presentations and also 4 roles that students choose for the duration of the project. Organelles included: Nucleus Mitochondria Vacuole Cell Membrane Cytoplasm Cell Wall Chloroplast

A one page graphic organizer that can be printed out at 80% to fit in INB or as a whole page. Use this with your own powerpoint, notes, textbook, etc. to organize your student's notes on succession. Includes primary, secondary, and aquatic along with a place for vocabulary definitions (Pioneer Species, Climax Community, Eutrophication, Equilibrium). I made this nearpod to walk them through it: https://share.nearpod.com/LWvHr55RUV feel free to make a copy for yourself and change it as you would

A great group project using google sites for student groups to create a website for the other students to visit to record information. I assigned each group a different biome to complete a website on according to the rubric. When everyone was finished, the other students went to each website to complete the recording sheet on each biome. Students are required to research the biotic and abiotic features of the biome along with giving a brief overview of the biome on the homepage. Please see t

I use this when teaching my students about heredity and punnett sqaures. They keep it in their notebooks to remind them of the difference between vocabulary words that are repeated often. I sized it to fit in a composition book. It includes pictures/examples of each word with an area to write a definition of your liking. Vocab: Heredity Genetics Trait Allele Dominant Trait Recessive Trait Homozygous (Purebred) Heterozygous (Hybrid) Phenotype Genotype

A one pager to assess students understanding of energy pyramids and the vocabulary that goes with ecosystems. Key included. Could also be used as homework or shrunk down for their INB. Vocabulary included: Heterotroph Autotroph Producer Primary Consumer Secondary Consumer Tertiary Consumer Omnivore Herbivore Carnivore Also includes calories, heat, 10% rule, and organisms. **Updated with Drag and Drop Slide Option for remote learning**

Need the TEKS posted but don't want to hand write them yourself every time? Print and laminate these and you're good to go! Each TEKS is on its own slide. Each reporting category has a different background, including the process standards. I'm giving you the actual powerpoint so you can change fonts, colors, backgrounds as you like. I know how we are as teachers!

This a a graphic organizer that can be printed at 80% to fit into their graphic organizers. I let the students use this to organize their notes while watching the video by the Amoeba Sisters titled Biomolecules ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YO244P1e9QM ) The GO focuses on the 3 molecules, their functions, and examples of foods that have these molecules.

Students are given 10 statements that can be categorized as Natural Selection, Selective Breeding, or Both. This can be used as a journal entry, an exit ticket, a quiz, or a check for understanding.

A go-to rubric for you and your students when creating cell models with the organelles labeled. This is a group project for the end of the organelles unit. The grading categories include: The organelles The functions Use of materials (how unique it is) Neatness Knowledge of the product (when you ask students questions related to their model, they all know the answers)
