<p>AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the 2016 specification Unit 1B: In this lesson we look at how ecosystems operate, from small-scale ecosystems to biomes.</p>
<p>We start with a retrieval practice task based around coats. We begin by looking at what the biotic and abiotic components of an ecosystem are.<br />
The students are given an example ecosystem and have to categorise the components according to whether they think they are biotic or abiotic. We then look at different scales of ecosystems and look at trophic levels. The students work out which examples belong with which trophic level . We then explore an example of a food chain, using a small-scale ecosystem (a pond) the students have to work out which creatures belong in which trophic level. We then look at biomass in the food chain and discuss why biomass declines at each level. We finish with a 4-mark GCSE style question and there is some tips for students who need it on how to answer it.</p>
<p>Hope this saves you some valuable planning time.</p>

<p>AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification Unit 1B: In this lesson we examine the distribution of the global ecosystems or biomes.</p>
<p>The lesson has an ordnance survey map skills retrieval practice starter quiz. We then look at what a global ecosystem or biome is and what the general pattern of their distribution is. The students complete a cloze exercise and write a paragraph introducing the concept of global ecosystems. The students then complete a colouring by numbers worksheet to familiarise them with the distribution of the global ecosystems. They then complete a worksheet on where these ecosystems can be found, using atlases to give named examples of countries that feature those particular biomes. There is another extension to this where the students create a diagram to show the importance of latitude in the distribution of global ecosystems. We finish with a GCSE-style practice question with some sentence starters and a mark scheme provided for the students.</p>
<p>Hope this saves you some valuable planning time.</p>

<p>This lesson is part of <a href="https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/exploring-brazil-ks2-12391247">Exploring Brazil</a>, a Geography unit designed for students in KS2 (Y4-6), but can also be taught as a stand alone lesson.</p>
<p>The presentation introduces students to Brazil’s six main biomes including the tropical rainforest, caatinga (desert), Pantanal wetlands, cerrado (savannah) and Atlantic Forest. Students then read an information text to find out more.</p>
<p>In the activity, students write an information text about Brazil’s ecosystems. This can either be done as a short activity or as an extended write in Literacy. (N.B. The activity sheets need to be enlarged to A3 size to provide adequate space for writing.)</p>
<p><strong>Short Activity:</strong><br />
<strong>Easier</strong> – Students match statements to each ecosystem and write them in each box.<br />
<strong>Medium</strong> – Students add titles, then match statements to each ecosystem and write them in each box.<br />
<strong>Harder</strong> – Students add titles and write their own sentences about each ecosystem in the box.<br />
<strong>Extension</strong> – Students label the different ecosystems on the map, including drawings of animals found in each one.</p>
<p><strong>Extended Writing Activity:</strong><br />
<strong>Easier</strong> – Students write an information text about Brazil’s ecosystems, including an introductory paragraph.<br />
<strong>Harder</strong> – Students write an information text about Brazil’s ecosystems, including sub-headings and an introductory paragraph.</p>

<p>Perfect lesson resource for KS3 Biology! A fully differentiated and resourced lesson that assists students in learning about ecosystems. Students will describe what is meant by ecosystem, community, habitat, and environment. Students will also explain how different organisms co-exist within an ecosystem, and describe niches within an ecosystem.</p>
<p>The resource includes a detailed and engaging lesson PowerPoint with differentiated activities, worksheets, quizzes and a class practical for students to complete. This resource is part of the Ecosystem processes topic and has been created for the delivery of the Activate KS3 Science course. Also great for GCSE Science.</p>
