How does change effect an ecosystem?
To start students create a spider diagram showing the causes that change an ecosystem, a model spider diagram is shown on the PowerPoint with two examples already available. As an extension students could colour code the factors into human and natural. The effects are explained to the students and told that changes could occur on a local or global scale. Students then colour-code the causes into Human and Natural, using the worksheet provided. Extension task is given to those who complete the activity and to stretch and challenge higher ability - Explain how to reduce one cause of change to an ecosystem. Students are to then read through the information and reduce this to five key points about changes at Avington Park Lake, Hampshire. Students are to then take their knowledge and apply it to an exam question: Using a named example, explain how change can have short term and long term effects on an ecosystem. To end students are given a picture and they must explain, using evidence, how they know that the pond in the picture has been affected by a drought.
