What educators are saying
I really enjoyed watching my students complete this in class. They did ask questions which I helped them understand. So many kids learned from this activity. It was perfect for biodiversity. I will use this every year. I was worth every penny. thank you!
I really love this resource! My students did not like how long this was, but I found it to be extremely useful and the students that put forth effort to attempt this, understood the concepts way better. I will always use this resource for my students from now on.
Description
In this digital activity, students will apply skills and concepts relating to the importance of, and current threats to, biodiversity. They will review key vocabulary, analyze diagrams, read articles about real examples of biodiversity threats, and critically think through making predictions and designing solutions to problems. Students will also compare species evenness to species richness, and calculate a simple biodiversity index.
This lesson can be assigned and completed through Google Classroom, making it a great resource for Remote/Virtual Learning! If you prefer a paper version, there is a shortened PDF option available here.

NGSSHS-ESS3-3
Create a computational simulation to illustrate the relationships among the management of natural resources, the sustainability of human populations, and biodiversity. Examples of factors that affect the management of natural resources include costs of resource extraction and waste management, per-capita consumption, and the development of new technologies. Examples of factors that affect human sustainability include agricultural efficiency, levels of conservation, and urban planning. Assessment for computational simulations is limited to using provided multi-parameter programs or constructing simplified spreadsheet calculations.
NGSSHS-ESS3-4
Evaluate or refine a technological solution that reduces impacts of human activities on natural systems. Examples of data on the impacts of human activities could include the quantities and types of pollutants released, changes to biomass and species diversity, or areal changes in land surface use (such as for urban development, agriculture and livestock, or surface mining). Examples for limiting future impacts could range from local efforts (such as reducing, reusing, and recycling resources) to large-scale geoengineering design solutions (such as altering global temperatures by making large changes to the atmosphere or ocean).
