2. LET’S DO THIS!

3. “Mystery Ecosystem Box"
The teacher will present a closed box
containing images of different ecosystems
(e.g., rainforest, coral reefs, deserts).
The students will be grouped into 3. Each
group will have 1 box, and students will pick
an image and will describe the living
organisms they think exist in that ecosystem..

4. TALLY A SIMPLE
DATA ON WHAT
YOU SEE FROM
THE PICTURE
1. Number of species
found
2. Total number of
organisms present

6. WHAT TYPE OF
ECOSYSTEM
HAVE YOU
PICKED?

7. Why do some
ecosystems have
more diverse life
forms than
others?

8. LET’S
CONNECT IT!

9. "Ecosystem Connection Chart"
After the "Mystery Ecosystem Box"
activity, the teacher will distribute a
worksheet per group with labels:
"Ecosystem," "Types of Organisms,"
and "Threats to Biodiversity".
The students will fill in the chart based
on the ecosystems they explored.

11. With the threats
that you posted, is
it possible that
biodiversity will
decline in these
ecosystems?

12. What would
happen if
biodiversity
declined in these
ecosystems?

13. How important is
biodiversity?

15. What is biodiversity,
and why is it
important in an
ecosystem?

16. Base on our
activity earlier,
which ecosystem
has the highest
biodiversity?
Which has the
lowest?

17. What does a high
number of species
recorded in an
ecosystem
indicate?

18. How does the
number of
endangered
species affect
biodiversity in an
ecosystem?

19. If conservation
efforts were
implemented, how
might these
numbers change in
the future?

21. BIODIVERSITY

22. OBJECTIVES:
1.Define biodiversity and explain
its importance.
2. Illustrate the factors affecting
biodiversity.
3. Propose ways to conserve
biodiversity.

23. BIODIVERSITY
refers to variety and
variability among all
groups of living organisms.

25. Factors affecting biodiversity :

26. Because of these threats, biological loss is at
hand as represented below:

29. "Think-Pair-Share: Protecting Biodiversity"
• 1. Think (1 min): Silently think of one small
action you can do to help protect biodiversity
(e.g., not littering, planting a seed, using less
plastic).
• 2. Pair (3 min): Have students pair up and
share their ideas with a partner.
• 3. Share (6 min): Call on a few pairs to
quickly share their answers with the class.

30. THINK!

31. PAIR!

32. SHARE!

33. LET’S SUM IT UP!

34. What is biodiversity
and why is it
important?

35. Suppose we have this data:
1. Which ecosystem has the highest biodiversity?
Which has the lowest?
2. What does a high number of species recorded in an
ecosystem indicate?
3. How does the number of endangered species affect
biodiversity in an ecosystem?
4. If conservation efforts were implemented, how might
these numbers change in the future?

36. "Emoji Exit"
Draw or choose an emoji that represents what you
learned about biodiversity today.
Below the emoji, they write one word or phrase explaining
your choice.
Example: 🌍 "Earth depends on biodiversity."
Example: 😲 "I was surprised by how many species
are endangered!"

37. ASSIGNMENT:
Research and report on a local
species that is endangered.
Include its habitat, threats, and
conservation efforts

The key to a healthy society is the same.”
