hard to see. The bird is
eating insects that have
been disturbed by the cow.
The bird gets food, nad the
cow doesn’t notice.

Day 1- Symbiosis Sort
Anticipatory set: Show parasitic wasp and caterpillar clip- example of parasitism
TI:
Pass out note sheet. Instruct students to write additional notes on it. Dissect word symbiosis, it means 2
organisms living together. In nature, one organism should always profit. We’ll focus on the second organism.
Use Facebook profiles to introduce the 3 relationships.
GP: Students work in groups to sort cards into correct category. (Cards saved on shared drive)
IP: Multiple choice exit ticket (in shared drive). Students use clickers. Allows you to form groups for
tomorrow’s activity.
Closing (10 min): Have students draw the following chart in SNB:

Or make a bridge map
Day 2- Word Dissection and Evidence
Anticipatory set: Show Brain-pop video about symbiosis. Review answers from last night’s HW.
TI: Explain today’s task: Make a 60 sec or less video that shows an example of symbiosis (must be an example
not studied in class). Work in lab groups. Can use webcams, cellphones, bloggies, or goanimate.com to make
your video. Stress that it is due at the end of class. We’re not looking for a perfect cinematic feature, but a
quick video example.
GP: Make video
IP: Start HW sheet about symbiosis.
Closing: Show video clip of remora and shark. Identify type of symbiosis. Verbally review three types with class.
Day 3- CA #4- Symbiosis
TI: Show student symbiosis videos.
GP: Students record each video example in SNB. Decide what type of relationship it is. Class guesses at the
end of the video. Group confirms whether or not they are right.
IP: Symbiosis CA
Closing: Discuss best examples from student videos. Discuss three types. Explain that tomorrow will do mastery
learning for those who want more practice, and a symbiosis lab for those who have mastered it.
Day 4 &5- Mastery Learning and Symbiosis Lab
