CREATE FOREST FOOD CHAINS DRAG AND DROP Digital Interactive Activity Energy Flow

Created by

Science by Sinai

Interactive, no prep activity where students will create 8 separate FOREST food chains using their digital devices to drag and drop the plants or animals into the food chain sequences. Discuss the movement of matter and energy among plants, animals, decomposers and the environment. Depending on the age group, you may or may not want to show them the reference page telling which animals eat which organisms. Some of the food chains have four links and some of them have three. All of the animals a

LIVING vs. NONLIVING UNICELLULAR MULTICELLULAR Microphotographs Prompt SORT

Created by

Science by Sinai

Even in middle school, students have a hard time distinguishing the differences between a living organism with cells versus a non-living structure. As part of your Traits of Life unit, students are given 12 images taken at the microscopic level. It takes some critical thinking to figure out what characteristics are present to identify whether something is alive or not, or unicellular vs. multicellular. A common misconception is that if something is dead then it is classified as non-living. It
