A set of ideas for in-field ecology investigations into biodiversity, abiotic effects, populations distributions etc. The ideas focus on heathlands, but many could be used in different habitats.

<p>This is a unit of work I created for the plant ecology part of unit 3.</p> <p>It contains three lessons and work booklets to go with each lesson. There is also a 4th booklet which I get students do independently in lesson as a practical task.</p> <p>There is a lot of practical work using the 2017 paper and only ecology material from SAPS</p>

<p>Powerpoint for KS3 and KS4 Biology on animals' environmental adaption using imaginary planets. Includes a Star Wars based plenary activity.</p> <p>Encourages students to develop a theory, then work collaboratively to improve and present it. Students should be encouraged to be critical of the weaknesses in each others ideas.</p> <p>Sorry for spelling mistakes - will only take you a minute to change them rather than the couple of hours I spent creating the resource. (Amazing how none of my students pointed them out to me and were just engaged and enjoying science for an hour!)</p>

<p>This lesson continues with Topic 21 - Energy and Ecosystems of the Oxford AQA International A Level Biology course. Having also taught AQA and Pearson Edexcel for a number of years I can confirm that this lesson is also suitable for the delivery of these courses.</p> <p>Through this fully resourced lesson students will differentiate between pyramids of number, biomass and energy. They will first recall their GCSE knowledge of pyramaids of biomass and number, they will then observe their germinating seeds for RP9 in continuation from the previous lesson where they prepared their seeds in petri dishes and construct a suitable results table to collect their data over the next 5 lessons. Students will then be introduced to pyramids of energy and compare them to pyramids of number and biomass.</p>

<p>This has been written and used by a professionally qualified Forest School Leader for use in a dedicated Forest School Site in a school setting.<br /> It is in table format and already fully filled out.</p> <p>You can check if you want to add anything specific to your setting, but apart from that it is ready to go!</p> <p>Could also be used as an example to inspire your if working towards your own Forest School Qualification Portfolio.</p>

<p>**Please see my other resources for the matching learner/revision booklets for the whole of GCSE Biology!<br /> **</p> <p>This is a 25-page student booklet for Unit 7 Ecology for the new AQA GCSE 9-1 Biology. It includes notes, activities, exam questions and the associated required practicals. It is great for use alongside teaching or as a revision aid for students.</p>

Teaching quadrants and ecological sampling? Too wet? no school field? PE say no to going out? left ecology to the winter? then fear not with this interactive notebook resource to fit in with the required practical ecological sampling and GCSE, A-level courses.<br /> <br /> Students can create their very own field to stick in the book with added tape measure and quadrat that moves horizontally and vertically in all directions. It can also act as a transect line<br /> <br /> 3 templates are included to fully differentiate the resource (one blank for students to draw their own flowers, one with lots of flowers and one with few) <br /> A table with key to record the results <br /> a lesson plan teacher help sheet<br /> GCSE questions for foundation learners and answers<br /> GCSE questions to stretch and challenge higher tier learners and answers
