4	In-Depth Analysis	10	Present several detailed examples of mutualism (e.g., pollinators and flowers).
5	Interactive Activity	3	Conduct a quick interactive activity where students match organisms to their mutualistic partners.
6	Wrap-Up and Q&A	2	Summarize key points of the lesson and address any questions from students.
7	Homework Assignment	0	Distribute homework assignment sheets; briefly explain the task without presentations.

Homework Assignment

• Research an example of mutualism in nature and write a short paragraph explaining the relationship and its benefits to both organisms.

Assessment
