ADAPTATIONS - ECOLOGY
This lesson is designed for the NEW AQA Trilogy Biology GCSE, particularly the ‘Ecology’ SoW.
This lesson begins with students completing a think > pair > share on the types of environments in which organisms live around the world.
After a short discussion with the class about the sorts of environments they are aware of, you can move the PowerPoint slide on to identify the types of biomes present on Earth.
The next activity is a copy and complete activity on survival and reproduction as a recap, after pupils have completed this task they can self-assess their work using the answers provided.
Next pupils will be introduced to adaptations, pupils will then watch a video on adaptations and answer questions using the information provided. Once they have completed this task they can mark their work using the answers provided.
Pupils will now read information posters around the room (resources provided at the end of the lesson) and will use this to complete adaptation profile cards for animals and plants from arctic and desert conditions.
The next part of the lesson will focus on extremophiles, pupils will read an article on extremophiles and will read through and underline the descriptions of particular extremophile adaptations. Once this work has been self-assessed pupils will move on to an exam-style question on adaptations, once this task has been completed pupils can either self-assess or peer-assess their work.
The plenary task is for pupils to write three quiz questions on the topic of the lesson. All resources are included at the end of the presentation. Thanks for looking, if you have any questions please let me know in the comments section and any feedback would be appreciated :)
