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). The lesson includes all necessary resources, making it easy to implement in your classroom and the lesson’s text is adaptable, allowing you to adjust the duration and depth of the activities based on your students’ progress and time constraints. 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. ● Clear Lesson Aim, Objectives & Success Criteria: Explicitly defined learning targets to guide students and measure their understanding. ● 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. ● Level 1: Low demand ● Level 2: Standard demand ● Level 3: High demand This lesson is also available as a digital worksheet, which is ideal for absent students to catch-up missed work, distance learning, home schooling, or independent study.

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

New for the AQA Activate 2 unit ‘Genes’ Full lesson ready to use straight ‘out of the box’. Though designed for teachers to deliver (specialist and non-specialists), the lessons are structured in an intuitive way for students to navigate for independent/ remote learning/ homework covering missed content/recap Similar structure to my other power points following the input - activity - review phasing plenary sections for progress checking Clear learning objectives and outcomes Modern and engaging layout Little adaptation needed Covers an hour lesson of content matched to the specification 36 ppt slides Please give constructive feedback :D

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

Comprehension and additional task exercises pages 44 and 45 from Next Page Science KS3 Complete. Accompanying PowerPoint and word searches available for free from the website. This exercise covers: • What biodiversity is and its importance • The concept of interdependence • Food webs used to explain why greater biodiversity means species are more likely to survive • How non-native species can disrupt biodiversity • Gene banks as a way of storing genetic material for the future and why they are important • An exercise on pros and cons of captive breeding • Amazing WHAT? facts

Designed for WJEC GCSE Biology as an easy-to-use booklet/PowerPoint resource. The booklet follows the Ppt. and covers everything students need to know for this section of the specification. This was done for an adult evening class where time was at a premium, but could be easily adapted for a series of lessons in a standard classroom environment. I have created similar resources for the whole specification.

Designed for the new specification AQA GCSE( covers spec point 4.7.3.1 ) course but can be modified for other exam boards. 12 slides covering the following objectives: Define biodiversity Describe why biodiversity is important Explain how waste, deforestation and global warming have an impact on biodiversity. **“There is a different starter for combined or Triple students” **

A PowerPoint divided into sections containing lessons depending on your pace. The second power point is a hand out that I give to my students as an A4 booklet with all the diagrams and questions, glossary page, revision grids and QR codes for exam Questions My teaching order is: 1. Habitats and intro to sampling 2. Sampling intro 3. Simpson’s index 4. Genetic diversity 5. Factors affecting biodiversity 6. Importance of maintaining biodiversity 7. In situ and ex situ conservation 8. Conservation agreements 9-11 PAG 3.1 - need PAG sheets from OCR 12 Revision including revision grids and QR codes to exam questions

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 :)
