Description

Beautifully illustrated Doodle Notes for your Ecology unit.

Students love filling using Doodle Notes to review and understand concepts visually. Unique illustrations bring ecological processes to life for students. They cover an introduction to ecology, symbiotic relationships, food chains and food webs, ecosystems and biomes, population growth, and biogeochemical cycles – phew!

Let me save you hours of time, with these ready-to-use Doodle Notes!

There are multiple versions for easy differentiation. Use the scaffolded fill-in-the-blanks version to support students, or the open response version to challenge students. And the color version can be used for digital assignments, with a PDF markup tool like Kami.

My Doodle Notes are low prep – just print and go! They work great for reviews, sub plans, homework assignments, and test prep. There is a completed example to model the Doodle Notes for your students, or let them check their answers.

  • An open response version for higher challenge
  • A scaffolded version for support with fill-in-the-blanks
  • Black and white versions, perfect for coloring in
  • Colored versions – use with a PDF markup tool, e.g Kami
  • A handy how-to-guide to get you started with Doodle Notes
