 interactions?

Class this time, you will perform an activity. You will be grouped into three.

2. Game. The Sear Is Over

Discuss your assignment the previous day about the pairs of living things
interacting in the environment. Write at least five pairs of organisms on your
data table. Give the type of interaction and its description.

3. Guide Questions

-What pairs of organisms did you find in your environment?

-What can you say about the relationship existing between each pair?

-Are these relationships beneficial? Why?

B. Exploration 1.Recall of standards in performing an activity.
