Description

This is a set of 36 enrichment and review task cards for your lessons on Community Ecology. Students will explore community interactions such as competition, resource partitioning, predation, mimicry, and symbiosis. Students will apply their critical thinking skills to the concepts of mutualism, parasitism, commensalism, and primary and secondary succession. Key vocabulary words are thoroughly covered. Printable and digital versions are included. The questions cover all the topics you would expect to find in a traditional high school biology textbook. A detailed list of the topics covered can be found below.

Both printable and digital versions of this resource are included. The student handouts and task cards can be printed or used in the paperless digital format in your Google Drive, Google Classroom, Microsoft OneDrive, or similar.

Both Google Slides and Google Forms versions are included.

Suitable for biology students in grades 9 - 12. This resource is perfect for traditional classroom settings, 1:1 schools, or for distance learning.

The task cards were written to accompany my Community Ecology Powerpoint and Notes Set, but they can easily and appropriately be used with any unit studying communities.

What is included in this resource?

  • A set of 36 FULL COLOR, printable, and editable task cards.
  • A set of 36 LOW INK, printable, and editable task cards.
  • Paperless Digital Versions for use in Google Drive, Google Classroom, and/or Microsoft OneDrive.

  • Blank task cards so that you can add additional questions.
  • Teacher Guide containing tips, directions, and suggestions.
  • A complete teacher answer key.

Task cards are a fantastic way to enrich or reinforce lessons, review difficult concepts, or provide extra practice for the struggling student. The student reads each card, performs the task, and records his/her answer on the included student answer sheet.

From the moment of purchase, you will be ready to use your task cards in just a few minutes. Simply print the sheets of task cards on card stock paper, laminate, and cut the cards apart. The cards look best when printed in color, but they can easily be printed in black and white.
