So I have totally struggled with the types of symbiosis in our science book and was looking for ways to spice up this lesson. It's something the kids get and there is a great Brainpop video but I wanted a way for it to really stick and for them to have lots of examples....hence Symbiosis Showdown. There are so many ways to use these cards in your class: -individually (as a sort) - in groups - as a game (my favorite!) - as research where students learn about a pair and how they work together. I pass out the cards to my class and call up pairs - they have to come up to the front of the room and showdown! I read the description of their interaction and they tell me what type of symbiosis and why! Works like a charm! There is more than what is shown below: There is also a sheet for the students to put the cards and draw pictures if you want to go that route as well! So many ways to use this - I know it will be a staple for years to come! You can click any of the pictures to see this in my store.
