Ecology: Energy FLow Power Point:
This EDITABLE power point explains the flow of energy through an environment. It discusses how sunlight is converted during photosynthesis and how organisms then use cellular respiration.
The types of autotrophs and heterotrophs, decomposers and detritivores are types of animals covered along with brief explanations of herbivores, omnivores and carnivores. Trophic levels, energy pyramid, food chains and food webs are all covered and students will be able to c
The CHNOPS: Elements of Life Bundle begins with an overview of atoms, chemical bonding, and the definitions of organic versus inorganic. The centers of the foldables have dedicated spaces for notes on the six elements of life: carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorous, and sulfur. Biogeochemical cycles for carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorous, and sulfur are also presented.CHNOPS: Elements of Life PowerPoint and Guided Notes (Digital & Printable) for students come in a worksheet style
The Ecology: Energy Flow, Trophic Levels, Food Chains and Food Web Foldable for INB is a great way to review photosynthesis and cellular respiration while allowing students to learn about how these cell processes relate to trophic levels, autotrophs, heterotrophs, producers, consumers, food chains and food webs.
Students wil learn how energy diminishes with each increasing trophic level and the importance of decomposers and detritivores. The foldable has multiple oppurtunities for students to a
The CHNOPS: Elements of Life Notes introduces the elements of life; carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, phosphorous, and sulfur. How these elements cycle through the ecosystem and their importance for biomolecules is included. The biogeochemical cycle for each element is represented and explained. The CHNOPS: Elements of Life, Element Cycles Guided Notes for students comes in a worksheet style or foldable style for interactive notebooks. Both styles complement distance, hybrid, and traditional learning.
Students can use this graphic organizer to summarize information as they describe and relate responses in organisms that may result from internal stimuli such as wilting in plants and fever or vomiting in animals that allow them to maintain balance.

Students learn about a study claiming that evidence from fossilized vegetation can help us predict how climate change can change future ecosystems through a C.E.R. (Claim Evidence Reasoning) graphic organizer. This is great for getting your students to explain phenomena in a meaningful way and it allows you as the instructor to adequately assess their understanding of concepts. The students figure out what the "Claim" is in the article, they then use data that supports the claim in the "Evidence
This graphic organizer, that can be used to review concepts related to NGSS-HS-LS2-5 and NGSS-HS-ESS2-6, allows students to demonstrate their understanding of how matter transfers through the ecosystem or biogeochemical cycles. Answer key included. It is available in print (PDF) form and also in Google Slides and PowerPoint forms for digital use. As well, a PowerPoint and Google Slides slideshow is included with the vocabulary terms used in the graphic organizer. Need more concept maps and g
