Detail Sorter Answer Key

This worksheet features an informational passage about fungi, which students must closely read to extract details. They place each fact into one of three categories: Roles in Ecosystems, Visible Structures and Growth, or Human Uses. Students must rely solely on the passage, promoting text-dependent analysis. This strengthens comprehension skills by encouraging students to differentiate types of information and recognize how details support main ideas. The activity also reinforces science knowledge about fungi and their ecological importance. Through categorization, learners organize complex information in a structured way.
