If you’re looking for a meaningful way to connect your biology curriculum to real-world science careers, this Careers in Science Symbiosis Activity is a perfect fit!
This no-prep symbiosis worksheet introduces students to evolutionary biologist Dr. Nancy Moran and helps them explore how organisms interact, depend on one another, and influence each other’s survival. Students will connect biology concepts like symbiosis, mutualism, aphids, bacteria, nutrients, genetics, microbiology, ecology, and evolution to real scientific work.
I designed this as an easy go-to for early finishers, sub plans, homework, enrichment, or anytime you want to show students how what they’re learning in class connects to real careers in science.
Want more biology career connections like this one? This activity is also included in my Biology Careers in Science Activities Bundle, which includes multiple no-prep worksheets connecting biology topics to real scientists and modern science careers.
This activity fits perfectly when teaching symbiosis, mutualism, species interactions, ecology, evolution, microbiology, or genetics connections in living systems. Students will learn how Dr. Nancy Moran studies the relationship between aphids and Buchnera bacteria, including how bacteria provide nutrients aphids need and how these close partnerships can shape survival and evolution.
Your students will see that symbiosis is not just a list of relationship types to memorize. It is a real biological partnership that scientists study to understand how organisms survive, depend on each other, and evolve together over time.
