Description
These 4 daily bell ringers can be used as warmups, exit-tickets, and inserts for interactive notebooks. They are formatted to fit within a single sheet of paper (front and back) to be used as quick printables, but each warmup is contained in a separate box for easy cut-outs. This week-long set focuses on basic ecology concepts including: levels of organization, predator-prey relationships, basic food chains, and human impacts.
These bell ringers are designed to quickly get students on task, stimulate class discussions to help lead into your lesson, and help practice content literacy and critical thinking skills. I have included a detailed answer key with extra information and common responses for open ended questions so teachers will be confident during class discussions.
- Day 1: Quote of the Week (Arthur Tansley)
- Day 2: Making Connections (predator-prey role reversal phenomenon): Students read a short passage about lobster and mollusks in two nearby ecosystems before answering 2 informational text standard questions.
- Core Content: (Simple food chains) 3 short answer questions analyzing changes in populations based off a provided food chain diagram.
- Depth of Knowledge: (human impact on ecosystems) Students will research or use prior knowledge to select one environmental concern related to humans that they feel causes most impact on ecosystems and explain how it affects other populations.
After students complete these 4 warm-ups, I usually start Day 5 by allowing them to review the warm-ups and passing out an assessment to check for understanding and participation. I have included multiple versions of the Day 5 assessment.
- Standard print version (2 per sheet -- cut in half)
- Modified (IEP) print version (1 less answer choice per question + slightly larger font)
- Digital version via google forms (editable and able to be graded automatically)
