This lesson plan aims to increase students' knowledge of ecology and the environment. The lesson will: 1) Explain key ecological terms like population, community, habitat and ecosystem. 2) Describe how biotic and abiotic factors control the numbers and distribution of organisms. 3) Cover the stages of ecological succession from colonization to climax communities. A variety of activities are outlined, including presentations, group work, peer feedback, and individual self-evaluations. Assessment will be based on tutor observation, activity completion, and peer feedback. The lesson aims to enhance students' understanding of important ecological concepts and relationships.
