Be a Super Science Sleuth: Ecosystems Scavenger Hunt

Students will love this fun scavenger hunt to learn about ecosystems, photosynthesis, abiotic, biotic, carnivores, omnivores, and herbivores. This mini-unit includes seven short passages with real-life photos to post around the classroom. Using the two organizers and a clipboard students act as detectives to track down the answers to the questions. This is a wonderful way to get students actively involved with the information literally by getting them up and out of their seats. If desired, you could do this as a stations or centers activity too! This works fantastic as an introduction at the beginning of the unit or as a review activity. It’s perfect for partners or group work. Little prep work to save you time: ✔Print posters and organizers✔Copy two scavenger hunt organizers back to back✔Post posters around the classroom (or at stations/centers)✔Assign partners or groups✔Hand out scavenger hunt organizers and clipboards✔Set timer (about 5-8)✔Have students rotate to the next spotThere
