ECOSYSTEMS Interactive Notebook - Food Chains/Webs/Pyramids, Types of Animals...

I love interactive notebooks! Using them means I always have something meaningful for my students to complete or do. Lesson planning becomes much easier! Students have no choice but to become involved in the learning. What did we do without them all these years?

These science interactive pages cover ecosystems. The emphasis of the interactive pages are ecosystems, communities, populations, habitats, organisms (plants and animals), biotic and abiotic factors, niches, producers, consumers, decomposers, carnivores, herbivores, omnivores, predators, prey, food chains, food webs, food pyramids, primary consumers, secondary consumers, tertiary consumers, and changes in ecosystems. There are many pages so you are given choices of using some or all of the pages.

There are also 6 information pages that go along with the interactive notebook pages.

I have also included many picture examples of what the interactive pages could look like. Although several of the pictures have answers, these are only to show what the page could look like after it is completed. The information pages may be used as suggested answers since they correlate with the interactive notebook pages.

If you are wanting a resource that makes teaching the adaptation unit a snap, please view the following link for my ECOSYSTEMS Bundle! It has everything you could want to teach ecosystems, including this interactive notebook. It also includes anchor posters, plant and animal picture collages, word wall vocabulary, daily reviews, worksheets, pre/post assessment, 2 science experiments, and 4 ecosystems science centers/work stations. If you decide to buy the Ecosystems Bundle, please DO NOT buy this interactive notebook too, since it is the same notebook included in the Ecosystems Bundle.
