What educators are saying

This was a great tool to use to help with refreshing my students' memories before NGSS testing began.
My students were very engaged in this activity. I use the task cards as a scavenger hunt. I hide the cards around the room, so they get to move around a little.

Description

Are you looking for a fun way to review flow of energy in your upper elementary science class? This task cards activity is great for reviewing concepts related to food chains, food webs, and the impact certain hardships have on an ecosystem.

This low prep engaging activity is perfect for 4th grade, 5th grade, or 6th grade. It can be used for spiral review, early finishers, emergency sub plans, and much more.

These task cards come with optional QR codes that students can use to check their answers when they finish all of the task card questions. The file is set up so that you can either print the task cards one sided with no QR code, or you can print the task cards and corresponding QR code answers back to back.

Task cards can be used in a variety of ways. Get your students out of their seats and moving by hanging the task cards around the room. Want to differentiate? Use task cards in stations to get students collaborating with their peers. The possibilities are endless!

These task cards can be printed in color or black & white. Printing on cardstock and laminating is a great way to reuse them each year. Print one set to hang around the room or multiple sets so several students can use them at one time.

Want a no prep way to use task cards? Instead of cutting up the task cards after they are copied, have students use one sheet (4 cards) at a time. Don't spend time to cut the cards apart. Just print the task cards and student answer sheet, copy, and go. This is great for independent work or emergency sub plans.

Want a low prep way to use task cards? Print the task cards and answer sheet (in color or black & white), make copies of both, cut out the task cards, and go. If you want to use these year after year, laminate or use sheet protectors (if you don't plan on cutting them apart).

Included in This Set:

☀ 20 multiple choice task cards

☀ Key concepts that relate to the flow of energy in ecosystems:

  • Food chain and food web + examples of each
  • Consumer definition
  • Producer definition + example
  • Herbivore and omnivore definitions
  • Decomposer role in a food web
  • Ecosystem definition
  • The Sun is the source of all energy
  • Very basic photosynthesis (producers use this process to make their own food + the three substances needed- sunlight, water, carbon dioxide)
  • The impact certain hardships have on food chains and food webs (ie: drought, fire, removal of one species)
  • The arrow in a food chain means ‘passes energy to’ (in my experience, students always get confused with the meaning of the arrow)

☀ QR codes that students scan to check their answers (optional)

☀ Each QR code also thoroughly explains the answer

☀ Student answer recording sheet

☀ Answer key

☀ Instructions on how to prep

☀ Suggestions for how to use task cards

Note: There are two ways to prep these task cards- 1) The traditional way with just copying the front side of the task card- 2) Copying the task card front and the QR code answer on the back and allow students to check the answers after completing the task cards.
