Maintaining biodiversity is a comprehensive lesson designed to help GCSE students develop their understanding of programmes that mitigate human activities effects on biodiversity through engaging activities and differentiated instruction.
This lesson is the 7th in a series of lessons and covers the content from the AQA 4 4.7.3.6 Maintaining biodiversity lesson (B7 Ecology unit), and AQA GCSE Biology OUP Scheme B18.7 Maintaining biodiversity lesson (B18 Biodiversity and ecosystems chapter).
All resources are included, making it easy to run the lesson straight away. All text is editable, so you can adjust the depth, pace, or challenge to suit your class and the time you have available.
Presentation contains (26 slides):
● Lesson Prep and Technician Notes: Guidance notes for teachers to prepare the lesson and technician instructions.
● Bell Work / Do Now Activity: Engaging task to activate student prior knowledge and set the stage for the lesson.

● Discussion Slides: Thought-provoking prompts and questions to introduce the topic.
● Information Slides with Levelled Content: Varied levels of information catering to diverse learning styles and abilities.
● Differentiated Activities (Group Work): Collaborative tasks in small groups to encourage active participation and enhance learning.
● Differentiated Questions with Answers: Comprehensive questions with accompanying solutions for self-assessment and note-taking.
Aimed at a mixed ability class covering content Grades 1-9, with three levels of demand to accommodate different learning styles and levels.
