Lesson Summary
In this activity students explore the positive and negative impacts of climate change on biodiversity. Students work in groups to investigate the impacts on five animals – Yellow-footed Rock-wallaby, Giant Gippsland Earthworm, Common Clownfish, Southern Corroboree Frog and Regent Honeyeater – and create a fact sheet describing the impacts on these animals.
Learning intentions
Students will:
- understand that climate change will have both negative and positive impacts on biodiversity
- recognise that most climate change impacts on biodiversity are negative
- understand that biodiversity is vulnerable to numerous types of climate change impacts
- understand that there are actions we can take to help biodiversity cope with the impacts from climate change
