HOME LEARNING: HL 3 Ecological Succession Worksheet
AGENDA
WHOLE GROUP
Students completed the bell ringer, which you can find below.
Determine the type of symbiotic relationship.
Students then took the Kahoot quiz on the vocabulary assigned to them last class period.
Students that needed to completed the Odyssey Earth handout from last class. Remember, you can watch the video on the web site listed in the last blog.
Students received home learning 3, which can be found below.
This is HL 3. Answers only on your own paper. It is due at the beginning of the next class session.
Because so many students are absent, we did not progress through the remainder of the lesson, but allowed new students to take the baseline exam. Other students worked on their understanding of succession by visiting the CK-12.org site. You can find the instructions on how to join my class and on the first assignment (Interactions Among Organisms) below.
