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.

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

This is the basic lesson resource bundle on Biodiversity. Premium and Deluxe bundles contain additional resources.This is a collection of resources on Biodiversity for KeyStage Three (KS3) Science and Biology teachers (students aged 11-14). It is based on the new KS3 AQA Science specification. It aims to teach students the meaning of biodiversity, the importance of biodiversity, how lack of biodiversity can impact ecosystems and humans and factors that reduce biodiversity. The lesson is designed to be clear, colourful and engaging and to help students to think about issues for themselves. The resources are designed for one lesson. Resources are as follows: Lesson PowerPoint with notes on slides on how to use. Scroll down on the preview to see the slides. Differentiated work sheets to accompany this. Differentiated definition sheets Notes on the resources Study Stack questions and slide to aid student revision/use in class as a plenary. The lesson PowerPoint covers: The definition of Biodiversity Biodiverse versus non-biodiverse ecosystems (ecosystem is defined) Biodiversity within a species Interdependence YouTube links to videos Looking at food webs and the effect of different species dying out Human dependence on biodiversity Human effects on biodiversity. In addition, the PowerPoints come in light and dark versions to suit preferences/classroom situations. The lesson PowerPoint has notes on the slides to assist Science teachers who are not teaching thier specialism. The differentiated worksheets link directly to the PowerPoint and are provided in greyscale for printing.

The Powerpoint presentation (38 slides) covers the following points from the OCR specification with some wider context. When I teach this I finish the lessons with a set of exam questions made using the OCR Exam Builder. Your Exams officer in school should be able to set you up with an account. The Exam Builder from OCR is free. in situ and ex situ methods of maintaining biodiversity • In situ conservaton including marine conservaton zones and wildlife reserves • ex situ conservaton including seed banks, botanic gardens and zoos. (i) internatonal and local conservaton agreements made to protect species and habitats. Historic and/or current agreements, including the Conventon on Internatonal Trade in Endangered Species (CITES), the Rio Conventon on Biological Diversity (CBD) and the Countryside Stewardship Scheme (CSS).

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

Complete PowerPoint presentation for a 2 hour lesson on biodiversity within communities for AQA A Level Biology. Includes calculating the index of diversity, impact of agriculture on biodiversity and conservation techniques. New content slides and accompanying activities in the ‘learning loop’ format. Covers specification points: Biodiversity can relate to a range of habitats, from a small local habitat to the Earth. Species richness is a measure of the number of different species in a community. An index of diversity describes the relationship between the number of species in a community and the number of individuals in each species. Calculation of an index of diversity (d) from the formula d = N (N − 1) /n (n − 1) where N = total number of organisms of all species and n = total number of organisms of each species. Farming techniques reduce biodiversity. The balance between conservation and farming.

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.

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