Habitats - Full lesson, powerpoint. Ecology Ecosystems Lesson 1

This is lesson 1 in my Ecology / Ecosystems scheme to suit KS3.

The objective is to learn how to describe different habitats and their organisms

The lesson is differentiated throughout, with each task having a higher and lower ability option. There are 4 tasks in total, including a literacy letter writing activity. There are no practical activities in this lesson, but one is suggested as an optional extra (weather dependent) and there are opportunities for drawing. I would spend two lessons on this one powerpoint, just to ensure the letter and other tasks are completed to a high standard. You could squash it into one.

I have included a basic lesson plan just to outline the tasks, however each task should be clear to understand for both staff and students by viewing the PowerPoint.

This is one lesson in my scheme which can be separately downloaded and includes:
L1: Habitats
L2: Adaptations
L3: Food Chains / Webs
L4: Pyramid of Numbers
L5: Sampling Techniques
L6: Environmental Factors
L7: Bioaccumulation
L8: Air Pollution
Also assessment, spellings, literacy task and homework tasks.
