Not worth £3. Opening bio indicates there will be more on biotic and abiotic factors. This is just a general over view of ecology. Which is good. But not what the introduction seems to indicate!
Thank you so much lots of activities to make the main concepts in Ecology to stick in the mind of my students. Great resources please keep posting.
Since there were so many varied activities included, I was able to use the PowerPoint and worksheets over two lessons. My students really enjoyed the lessons, especially the quiz question game.
