This is a comprehensive powerpoint, lesson designed to cover Population dynamics for WJEC and EDUQAS exam boards covering;
*WJEC Unit 3.5 - Populations & Ecosystems - Objectives A,B,C and E
EDUQAS Unit 2.1 - Component 1 -Energy for Life - Populations & Ecosystems - Objectives A,B,C and E. *
This does NOT cover Energy flow, sampling techniques, or succession. Please see my other resources.
Included:
***Powerpoint ***
Teaching content - population dynamics, definitions of key terms and past paper exam questions
***Bonus Activity ***
This is a separate resource with ecological terms and definitions. The words and definitions can be cut out, mixed up, placed in a bag and given to students to work out the definitions. Might be useful as a follow up starter activity.
I hope this will be useful. I’d really appreciate your feedback if you use this resource.
Please see my shop for more resources.
