Ecology Revision Placemat An A3 revision mat for the Ecology chapter in AQA GCSE 1-9 Combined Science and Biology. Includes combined Science content only and no separate Biology content. Includes answer

A full 1 hour lesson designed for a low ability year 10 class studying the AQA GCSE Combined Science syllabus. This is a theory lesson, so suitable for teaching random sampling with quadrats in the winter months! This lesson focuses on the method of systematic sampling using transect lines. This resource includes: A ‘5 in 5’ retrieval-style starter A retrieval practice (recalling method for random sampling) Teacher input slides with dual coding and reduced cognitive load Teacher model slides (examples) An animated teacher model, helping students to visualise the method Guided class discussions Multiple choice hand signals quiz ‘Fill in the blanks’ closed task with answer slide Exam questions, with optional scaffolds, and answer slides Written plenary

A complete lesson which introduces the terminology used in Ecology lessons. We also explore how abiotic and biotic factors can affect a habitat. There are questions to check understanding of knowledge learnt plus independent learning activities. Learning outcomes Recall what is meant by the terms population, community, habitat and ecosystem Understand that the numbers and distribution of organisms in a habitat are controlled by biotic and abiotic factors Understand how the concept of a niche accounts for the distribution and abundance of organisms in a habitat

Revision mat that can be used to support Ecology at KS3 (or support at KS4), covering aspects of Ecosystem Processes from the Activate scheme
