Ecology Card Sort

This Ecology Card Sort is ideal for 5th-8th grade but is also a great review for high school biology classes.

In this packet you will find the following:

• Vocabulary cut-out cards featuring 27 ecology terms: herbivore, carnivore, omnivore, producer, consumer, decomposer, predator, prey, food chain, abiotic, biotic, food web, ecology, ecosystem, symbiosis, mutualism, commensalism, parasitism, organism, habitat, niche, limiting factor, carrying capacity, ecological succession, population, community, energy pyramid

Also included:

• Blank card template for the student to place cards

• Answer key for the teacher

• BONUS: Etymology index for all 27 terms!

The only prep the teacher needs to do is print and cut! Simply cut the cards so that students can match the term to the image and definition. It's that easy!

This is a flexible resource that can be utilized as a formative or summative assessment during an Ecology unit, or to review for the end-of-course exam. It is easy to implement during teacher evaluations and it promotes inquiry, collaboration, and more!

This resource also includes a free bonus item - an etymology index of all 27 ecology terms! This listing of root Latin and Greek words gives your students “clues” to remember the meaning of the words.

10% of all proceeds benefit charity! Stay tuned for more science products coming soon!
