In this lesson pupils look at factors that are important to organisms surviving. After pupils are aware of the conditions needed to survive they start to look at quadrats.
Quadrats are introduced by pupils completing the "How many Daisies" task, where they are given 30 seconds to count the number of daisies on the interactive whiteboard, most pupils get this wrong but it helps to introduce quadrats and how they work.
Pupils then complete past exam questions on quadrats. After this they look at bluebell abundance and ways to work this out via sampling techniques and estimating populations. This then leads on the probability and the mention of different equipment scientists might use in ecology such as; pooters, pitfall traps, nets and small mammal traps.
This lesson works well with top set groups but still provides basic definitions that are easy for pupils to understand.
