QCA

Objectives

Children should learn:
  • to apply their knowledge of populations within a habitat to an environmental issue including protection of living things

Activities

Outcomes

Children:
  • Present pupils with a case study, eg plans to cut down a number of trees in a school's grounds. Provide relevant information, such as food webs for the community, population sizes, etc. Ask pupils to report how this action might affect the living things in the area including ideas they might have about protecting their local environment.
  • produce a report in which consequences of the change are related to specific organisms within a particular habitat and how they might be protected
