Lesson Summary
In this lesson, students explore the interconnected characteristics of a distinct region by investigating a recent case study. By studying the Shy Albatross students will learn about the flow-on effect of a variety of environmental changes and how geographical data has been used to protect this species. The class will then use this learning to write an article that engages the rest of the school in a program to monitor and protect local biodiversity.
Learning intentions
Students will:
- understand how a species can be linked to its local environment
- understand how changes in the environment could affect a species
- know that long-term data can help inform environmental management
Success criteria
Students can:
- concisely summarise geographical research from reliable resources
- make and justify connections between environmental threats and likely impacts on a species
- communicate the need for citizen science in an article written for an audience of their peers
