Beyond the Bushfires - Bird's Eye View of Bushfire Recovery
Lesson4 of 8 in this unit
SecondaryYear 9 - 10ScienceEnvironmentalClimate ChangeDisaster resilience
Lesson Summary
Students critically analyse image data sets to consider the changes taking place in a recovering ecosystem. Using satellite images students will record observations about changes in plant species and make predictions about changes in a range of abiotic factors. Based on the provided data students, will make a hypothesis about the recovery of populations well after a bushfire event.
Learning intentions
Students will:
- identify biotic and abiotic elements of an ecosystem and how they change due to bushfires
- analyse data sets to determine current changes over time and predict future changes in an ecosystem recovering from bushfires
- develop a hypothesis about future ecosystem recovery based on these data sets.
- develop their observation and questioning skills
Success criteria
Students can:
- interpret and explain changes between satellite images
- interpret data in a plot graph
- identify and discuss changes in a variety of abiotic factors
- create a hypothesis based on their interpretation of data
- identify data that would help them investigate this hypothesis.
