This lesson suits Year 3-4 students within the English and Science curricula.

Students will identify how a habitat's biodiversity can be supported or disrupted by recognising key food chains within their local area, what can cause disruptions to them, and researching how specific groups or projects work to mitigate these disruptions.

Learning intentions:

Students will:

• understand the concepts of biodiversity, life cycles and food chains
• examine disrupters and supporters of biodiversity.

Success criteria:

Students can:

• demonstrate how different elements either support or put pressure on biodiversity
• identify a threat to biodiversity in their local area and investigate solutions.

This lesson was created in collaboration with Cool.org as part of the Biodiversity in Action education resources, which are hosted on their website.
