levels of biodiversity as this determines what flora can survive. Factors such as temperature, water and CO₂ are all limiting factors for plants, places with very few limiting factors such as a tropical rainforest, have high biodiversity because the conditions are good, meaning many plants can grow such as the Atlantic forest, where there are over 20,000 plant species adapted in that specific area. Places with a lot of limiting factors, the levels of biodiversity is low due to harsh conditions. The

Oxford named Norman Meyers came up with an idea called a “Hot Spot.” The basic idea was to identify areas with a high number of plant diversity and to protect them from the expanding civilization. By doing this they were hoping that this would protect animals because were keeping there food sources protected. Another reason to doing this was because it’s easier to catalogue plants than

Brief Science Lesson Plans: Day 1: Vertebrates and Invertebrates – I will be introducing the students to these two groups and this will lead into the lessons on each animal group. Day 2: Animal groups: This will entail a lesson on the six animal kingdoms: Reptiles, fish, amphibians, birds, insects and mammals. Day 3: Animal Classifications: This will be a follow up from last day where I introduced them to the five groups, on this day instead I will give them different characteristics that
