A resourced lesson which looks at a range of methods that are used to increase biodiversity. The lesson includes an engaging lesson presentation (31 slides) and an associated worksheet
The lesson begins by getting students to recall the term biodiversity and time is taken to ensure that the meaning of this word is fully understood. The lesson takes the form of a bus ride around London, looking at some of the attractions which act to increase or maintain biodiversity. Students will “virtually” visit both London Zoo and Kew Gardens and will learn how methods such as the captive breeding programme and the Millenium Seed Bank are used to influence biodiversity. Along with the bus ride, students will compete in a number of quiz competitions which act to maintain engagement whilst introducing key terms or facts.
There are regular progress checks throughout the lesson to allow the students to check their understanding. This lesson has been designed for GCSE students.
