Introduction
[video:http://www.softschools.com/quizzes/biology/symbiosis/quiz476.html]Symbi… Relationships:
Symbiosis is a close relationship between two species in which atleast one species benefits. For the other species, the relationship may be positive, negative, or neutral. There are three basic types of symbiosis: mutualism, commensalism, and parasitism.
Download and look at the following ppt. and take notes on symbiosis:
Can you answer the following question?
Which symbiotic relationship does each picture below represent?
Task
Through this webquest students will explore the world of symbiosis and learn about the different symbiotic relationships and discover how the interaction between two different animals can benefit or harm the two interacting species. Through this webquest students will explore an interactive ppt, take a review quiz, watch an instructional video on symbiosis, and end with a review game.
Students through this webquest will cover the following GA standard:
SEV3. Students will describe stability and change in ecosystems.
a. Describe interconnections between abiotic and biotic factors, including normal cyclic fluctuations and changes associated with climatic change (i.e. ice ages).
b. Explain succession in terms of changes in communities through time to include changes in biomass, diversity, and complexity.
c. Explain how succession may be altered by traumatic events.
d. Explain how biotic and abiotic factors influence populations.
e. Describe interactions between individuals (i.e. mutualism, commensalisms, parasitism, predation, and competition).
Learners: The following learners will be addressed through this webquest:
1. Auditory
