L8 Biodiversity 2Included in the lesson package is:

– The teacher version of the Power Point
– The student version of the Power Point
– A Bill Nye video and worksheet (with key)
– FOUR videos embedded into the Power Point
– Student lesson handout

In order, the lesson covers:
– Biodiversity
– The need for biodiversity
– Vulnerable, Threatened, Extirpated, Endangered, and Extinct species
– Keystone species
– Species extinction and biodiversity
– Natural and human causes of extinction

The student version of the power point contains multiple blanks that need to be filled in throughout the lesson. These blanks are conveniently underlined and bolded on the teacher copy. I have found this to be the most effective means of keeping my students engaged and active without having them write everything out. This also leaves more time for discussion and activities.

**Please note that the ENTIRE UNIT including all Power Points & 2 Culminating Tasks can be purchased from my store at a 38% discount.
