Citizen Science - Understanding Climate Change and Phenology
Lesson1 of 6 in this unit
SecondaryYear 7 - 8ScienceBiologyEnvironmentalBiodiversityCitizen ScienceClimate Change
Lesson Summary
Students are introduced to the topics of climate change and phenology. Students begin by brainstorming what they already know about climate change and then watch a clip to explore the issue further. Students then create a mindmap to explore how climate change might affect biodiversity, and watch another clip that shows how the science of phenology can be used to help us understand how climate change is impacting on biodiversity.
Learning intentions
Students will:
- know how climate change impacts biodiversity
- be able to relate the study of phenology to wider environmental impacts
Success criteria
Students can:
- identify some of the causes, processes and consequences of climate change
- explain how climate change might affect biodiversity
- define the term phenology in their own words
- describe, in their own words, how the science of phenology can be applied to understanding the impacts of climate change on biodiversity
- describe some examples of altering phenology affecting the way plants and animals persist/continue to exist
