This fully-resourced REVISION LESSON is detailed and engaging and covers the content of topic 18 (Biodiversity, classification and conservation) of the CIE International A-level Biology specification. This topic is often viewed as less interesting than other topics by the students but is well represented in the exams in terms of questions and so a lot of time has gone into the design to include a wide range of activities which will allow them to assess their knowledge whilst remaining motivated. All of the exam questions have full answers so students can identify any missed marks and most of the tasks are differentiated to allow students of differing abilities to access the work and remain challenged.
The lesson was planned to cover as much of the specification as possible but the following sub-topics have received particular attention:
- The biological classification of a species
- Using Simpsons Index of diversity to calculate the biodiversity of the habitat
- The reasons to maintain biodiversity
- Methods of protecting endangered species
- The use of assisted reproduction in conservation
- Different methods of sampling
- The taxonomic hierarchy
- The characteristic features of the domains and kingdoms
Links to the other topics of the specification are made throughout the lesson and there is also a mathematical focus to ensure that the students are comfortable when presented with the numerical challenges
Due to the extensiveness of this resource, it is likely to take at least 2 lessons to cover all of the activities
