About This Game

This word sort explores different types of relationships between organisms in ecosystems. Students categorize 12 different ecological interactions into helpful or harmful relationships. The activity covers key biological concepts like symbiosis, predation, and competition. Through classification, students learn how organisms interact and depend on each other in nature. This engaging sorting exercise aligns with NGSS Life Science standards and helps students understand complex ecological relationships through simple, relatable examples.
