Give your biology students a focused look at role of decomposers in ecosystems with ninety questions built for real classroom use, whether you are starting a new unit or reviewing before a test.
Sample questions include "How do decomposers affect soil health?", "Which group of organisms is most responsible for breaking down tough plant materials?", and "How do detritivores contribute to ecosystem stability?"
Because the three worksheets share the same content in three different formats, you can spread them across the week: one for diagnosis, one for practice, and one for assessment, without repeating a single question.
This set is part of a complete NGSS aligned biology unit. The unit also covers Modeling Energy Flow in Ecosystems, Energy Pyramids and Trophic Levels, Constructing Food Web Models, Predicting Effects of Ecosystem, Photosynthesis and Energy Entry, and Human Impacts on Energy Flow, all in the same three worksheet format, so your classroom routine stays familiar while the topic changes.
Suitable for Grade 6-8 biology classes, and for NGSS aligned review at any point in the school year. This set is aligned to NGSS standard MS-LS2-3.
