Maintaining biodiversity is a comprehensive lesson designed to help GCSE students develop their understanding of programmes that mitigate human activities effects on biodiversity through engaging activities and differentiated instruction.
This lesson is the 7th in a series of lessons and covers the content from the AQA 4 4.7.3.6 Maintaining biodiversity lesson (B7 Ecology unit), and AQA GCSE Biology OUP Scheme B18.7 Maintaining biodiversity lesson (B18 Biodiversity and ecosystems chapter).
All resources are included, making it easy to run the lesson straight away. All text is editable, so you can adjust the depth, pace, or challenge to suit your class and the time you have available.
Presentation contains (26 slides):
● Lesson Prep and Technician Notes: Guidance notes for teachers to prepare the lesson and technician instructions.
● Bell Work / Do Now Activity: Engaging task to activate student prior knowledge and set the stage for the lesson.
● Clear Lesson Aim, Objectives & Success Criteria: Explicitly defined learning targets to guide students and measure their understanding.
● Discussion Slides: Thought-provoking prompts and questions to introduce the topic.
● Information Slides with Levelled Content: Varied levels of information catering to diverse learning styles and abilities.
● Differentiated Activities (Group Work): Collaborative tasks in small groups to encourage active participation and enhance learning.
● Differentiated Questions with Answers: Comprehensive questions with accompanying solutions for self-assessment and note-taking.
Aimed at a mixed ability class covering content Grades 1-9, with three levels of demand to accommodate different learning styles and levels.
● Level 1: Low demand
● Level 2: Standard demand
● Level 3: High demand
This lesson is also available as a digital worksheet, which is ideal for absent students to catch-up missed work, distance learning, home schooling, or independent study.

Exam Practise
Chapter 11 unit from the OCR Biology A A-Level all about biodiversity.
The unit was planned with the intention of carrying out flipped learning whereby students do pre-reading on the topic prior to the lesson so that we can consolidate that learning with activities/exam questions during the lesson.
Including:
11.1 Biodiversity
11.2 Types of Sampling
11.3 Sampling Techniques
11.4 Calculating Biodiversity
11.5 Calculating Genetic Biodiversity
11.6 Factors Affecting Biodiversity
11.7 Reasons for Maintaining Biodiversity
11.8 Methods of Maintaining Biodiversity
Perfect if you teach AQA GCSE Biology Combined Science or Single Science, this fully differentiated and resourced lesson supports your students in learning about Biodiversity. By the end of the lesson students will beable to define biodiversity and explain its importance, describe how human activities affect biodiversity and explain how programmes help maintain biodiversity. In addition, the resource can easily be adapted to cover other exam boards.
The resource includes a detailed and engaging PowerPoint Presentation with key points, differentiated activities, exam style questions and progress check questions/quizzes for students to complete. Differentiated worksheets are included.
INCLUDED IN RESOURCE:
19 slide PowerPoint Presentation with key points, exam questions and quizzes.
Differentiated worksheets included

CB9f resource from the new Edexcel combined science GCSE (9-1) all about preserving biodiversity.
The lesson includes what conservation is, examples of conservation methods and reforestation.
One of the tasks within the lesson requires the use of a worksheet from ActiveLearn but could easily be replaced by other worksheets available
AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification Unit 1B: In this lesson we look at what how plants and animals have adapted to the environmental conditions in the rainforest.
The lesson has a retrieval practice starter to begin with. We then look at what biodiversity is and why the rainforests are particularly diverse. We then look at rainforest stratification and plant adaptations. The students have a sheet to complete and some information slides to use to complete the sheet. This could be used as a carousel or group work task. The sheet can even be coloured in! Then the students complete a mix and match up task on the most common types of animal adaptations. The students then complete a rating task with explanation as to how significant are threats to biodiversity in the rainforest. We finish with a GCSE-style practice question with some guidance and structure provided for the students.
Hope this saves you some valuable planning time.

Complete PowerPoint presentation for a 2 hour lesson on biodiversity within communities for AQA A Level Biology. Includes calculating the index of diversity, impact of agriculture on biodiversity and conservation techniques.
New content slides and accompanying activities in the ‘learning loop’ format.
Covers specification points:
Biodiversity can relate to a range of habitats, from a small local habitat to the Earth.
Species richness is a measure of the number of different species in a community.
An index of diversity describes the relationship between the number of species in a community and the number of individuals in each species.
Calculation of an index of diversity (d) from the formula d = N (N − 1) /n (n − 1) where N = total number of organisms of all species and n = total number of organisms of each species.
Farming techniques reduce biodiversity. The balance between conservation and farming.
