Transcript Succession Foldable

Ecological Succession Foldable
Before you read, make the following Foldable to help you understand
succession, or gradual change in the types of species that live in an area.
Creating your foldable:
1. Place a sheet of paper in front of you so the long side is at the top. Fold the paper in half
from the left side to the right side. Fold top to bottom but do not crease and unfold.
2. Turn the paper so the fold is at the top and label Primary Succession and Secondary
Succession across the front of the paper, as shown. Draw an arrow down from each and
then label Climax Communities, as show. Circle all four labels.
3. Through the top thickness of paper, cut along the middle fold line to form two tabs as
shown.
4. As you read the chapter, define terms and collect information under
the tabs.
