Chapter 11 unit from the OCR Biology A A-Level all about biodiversity. The unit was planned with the intention of carrying out flipped learning whereby students do pre-reading on the topic prior to the lesson so that we can consolidate that learning with activities/exam questions during the lesson. Including: 11.1 Biodiversity 11.2 Types of Sampling 11.3 Sampling Techniques 11.4 Calculating Biodiversity 11.5 Calculating Genetic Biodiversity 11.6 Factors Affecting Biodiversity 11.7 Reasons for Maintaining Biodiversity 11.8 Methods of Maintaining Biodiversity

8Ba chapter from Exploring Science PLEASE READ BEFORE PURCHASING My lessons follow the learning objectives of Exploring Science: Working Scientifically Student Book Year 8 by Pearson. This powerpoint is working towards Edexcel national curriculum but follows the overall English national curriculum suitable for schools that teach towards AQA & OCR curriculum also. ✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰ My Lessons include: Visually appealing graphics that encourage engagement throughout a lesson. ‘Do now/Starter’ activities with music to encourage fast and easy settling as the pupils arrive to lesson. Progress steps: By having the student’s track their own progress, it creates ownership of goal achievement. The graphic representation of the students’ progress can be highly motivating. If improvements are not achieved, students can reflect on what changes need to be made to the intervention plan. Peer and self-assessments (AfL) encouraging use of green pen self-assessment and purple pen peer assessment . This can be edited to meet the expectations of your school policy Formative assessments to consolidate learning throughout (exam-style questioning, linking questions) Plenary activities. Extensions and challenge questions to reach higher ability students. On screen timers to aid lesson plan and pupil focus. Implementing subject specific key words throughout to encourage literacy ✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰ I own no rights to the music or images used in this PowerPoint music credit to: Summer Adventure by DPmusic Range of used icons credit to: Flaticon

Full GCSE Biology Lesson / Revision Powerpoint on Global Warming and Maintaining Biodiversity A carefully laid out powerpoint covering the main content in easy to understand slides, including exam practise and answers as well as a summary page of all the main revision points included. Workbook available for purchase to go alongside powerpoint. Includes: Greenhouse Gases Concept of Global Warming & Cliamte Change Human impact on greenhoue gas emissions Why climate change is a complex topic to study Biological Consequences of Global Warming (loss of habitat, changes in distribution, changes in migration, reduced biodiversity, changes in weather) Ways to maintain biodiversity in the face of change (breeding programmes, protection of rare habitats, reintroduction of hedgerows, reduction of deforestation and carbon dioxide emissions, recycling resources rather than dumping waste in landfill) Exam pracise questions

AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification Unit 1B: In this lesson we look at what how plants and animals have adapted to the environmental conditions in the rainforest. The lesson has a retrieval practice starter to begin with. We then look at what biodiversity is and why the rainforests are particularly diverse. We then look at rainforest stratification and plant adaptations. The students have a sheet to complete and some information slides to use to complete the sheet. This could be used as a carousel or group work task. The sheet can even be coloured in! Then the students complete a mix and match up task on the most common types of animal adaptations. The students then complete a rating task with explanation as to how significant are threats to biodiversity in the rainforest. We finish with a GCSE-style practice question with some guidance and structure provided for the students. Hope this saves you some valuable planning time. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/markthegeographer

This lesson is designed for the NEW AQA Trilogy Biology GCSE, particularly the ‘Ecology’ SoW. For more lessons designed to meet specification points for the NEW AQA Trilogy specifications for Biology, Chemistry and Physics please see my shop: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/SWiftScience The lesson begins with a definition on biodiversity, pupils are shown a pie chart of the numbers of different groups of organisms that have been identified to date. The first task is for pupils to consider which numbers correspond to which groups of organisms. Once pupils have discussed in pairs or groups the answers will be revealed, pupils can check their work against the answers provided. The next part of the lesson focuses on how and why scientists quantify biodiversity, pupils are firstly asked why it might be important to map out biodiversity - they can discuss in groups before the answer is revealed on the PowerPoint presentation. A map of the world depicting certain biodiversity hotspots is then shown to students and they are asked a couple of question about this map, pupils will be required to answer these questions in their books and then self-assess their work using the answers provided. Pupils are then asked to think > pair > share their ideas on why it is important to maintain biodiversity, in groups pupils may be given an A3 sheet for them to mind map their ideas onto. Once finished each group can feedback their ideas to the class and a larger mind map could be completed on the white board. Some of the key reasons for maintaining biodiversity cant then be detailed on the PowerPoint presentation for students to assess their work. The last task is for pupils to use information posters placed around the room to answer a set of questions, all on the topic of maintaining biodiversity. Once pupils have spent a good amount of time writing their answers down they should sit in their seats and use the mark scheme provided on the PowerPoint presentation to peer-assess their work. The plenary activity is for pupils to draw a feedback grid in their partners books and write down one positive comment, one negative comment and a question to test their knowledge. All resources are included at the end of the presentation. Thanks for looking, if you have any questions please let me know in the comments section and any feedback would be appreciated :)

Powerpoint slides to introduce Simpson’s Diversity Index with accompanying sheets so that students can practice the equation.

This is a handy little quiz where the pupils try to work out the answer - This one is biodiversity.

Lesson for As Biology briefly looking at what Biodiversity is and how to sample it followed by calculating Simpsons Biodiversity. Any "Book Questions" refers to OCR As/A level Biology A book. Please rate the resource.

Created for GCSE biology class. Students research biodiversity using question prompts.

Looks at: species, habitat, distribution, measuring biodiversity, biodiversity under threat
