Symbiosis Want Ad
Background: Relationships aren’t always love-love in biology, nor are they always love-hate. Relationships among organisms can take on many different meanings. Coevolution is the result of an association between two species in which they evolve together and develop such a close relationship that one needs the other for survival. If both organisms benefit from the relationship, it’s called mutualism. If one benefits, and the other gets nothing, it’s called commensalism. However, if one organism benefits while the other is harmed, then the relationship is considered parasitism.
Objective: To show your understanding of symbiotic relationships.
Atlanta Journal Constitution Want Ads
WANTED: LAZY PUP WITH SHORT NAILS
Desperately seeking a parasitic relationship. I am a flea
with a thin body and springy legs who can jump 1,000 times
my own body size! I am in search of a dog with long fur for
me to cuddle up in, thin skin for me to bite, and short
nails to keep from scratching me. I need your help because
your blood is my nutrients and I need it to keep me alive.
In return, I promise to give you the heebie jeebies and
plenty of scabby bites to scratch and keep you busy!
ME YOU US TOGETHER

What You Do: Work alone or with a partner to create a classified advertisement/want ad for a job opening in which an organism in a symbiotic relationship is looking for the other organism. The ad should be based on mutualism, parasitism, or commensalism. The ad should be from the point of view of the organism that benefits from the relationship (for example, if the relationship is parasitism, the organism getting harmed wouldn’t be seeking out the organism that would harm it) . The ad can be done as a PowerPoint presentation, brochure, newspaper ad, magazine ad, poster, prezi presentation, glogster, etc. Please review your presentation options with your teacher.

Ecological Interactions: Teacher’s Guide
Symbiosis Want Ad
What You Do: Below you will find a list of possible symbiotic relationships. They are grouped according to difficulty in finding information. You can utilize this leveling by giving students who need scaffolded lessons the easier to research materials, and those students who need more of a challenge those relationships that are more complex and abstract. Our suggestion is to cut out the list below into strips and place into a basket or hat for random selection by students, or you may assign relationships as you see fit.
