Description

Bring one of the most challenging AICE Marine Science concepts to life with this student-friendly, visually engaging guided notes resource covering life cycles, fertilization methods, and parental care strategies in marine organisms!

This product helps students clearly understand the differences between simple vs complex life cycles, larval forms, metamorphosis, sessile vs non-sessile organisms, as well as external vs internal fertilization and r- vs K-strategies. Students will also explore real marine examples (tuna, sharks, whales, shrimp, bivalves, etc.) and apply their knowledge to complete diagrams, define vocabulary terms, and compare reproductive strategies.

Perfect for class notes, independent practice, sub plans, or as a prep resource before AICE exam units involving reproduction, life cycles, and species survival strategies.

What’s Included:

• Guided notes page: life cycle definitions, key vocab, fill-in-the-blank statements using word banks
• Detailed diagrams of simple vs complex life cycles for analysis
• Shrimp larval stage life cycle diagram labeling + advantages/disadvantages chart
• Fertilization methods comparison (internal vs external)
• Parental care strategies (r-strategy vs K-strategy)
• Real organism case studies: tuna, sharks, whales
• Student prompts to apply content to examples

Why teachers love this resource:

✔ Supports visual learners with large clear diagrams
✔ Helps students master high-yield AICE terminology
✔ Builds understanding before higher-order test questions
✔ Easy to use with NOTES → then PRACTICE → then EXAM QUESTIONS approach
✔ Saves HOURS of prep time
