A full 1 hour lesson designed for a mixed ability year 8 class.
This is the 3rd lesson in “Chapter 3 - Ecosystems and adaptation” from Activate 2, Biology. This lesson is on ‘ecosystems’.
This lesson should be suitable to teach to any KS3 Biology class, even by those where Biology is not their specialism.
This lesson (and all lessons in this unit) is designed to be interactive and engaging, with plenty of real world examples and independent tasks.
From this lesson, students should be able to:
- Define the terms population, community, ecosystem, habitat and environment
- Identify a population, community and ecosystem from given examples
- Define the term ‘niche’
- Use the idea of niches to explain how different organisms are able to co-exist within the same ecosystem
All of my lessons contain:
- A 5-in-5 retrieval-style starter
- An interesting lesson hook, careers link, or retrieval practice to start the lesson
- Teacher input slides with dual coding and reduced cognitive load
- Teacher models
- Regular ‘check for understanding’ slides, such as hand signals quizzes and whiteboard quizzes
- Regular student independent practice slides, with optional scaffolds, challenges and answer slides
- A plenary task
