Description
Overview:
Explore how biodiversity strengthens the health of ecosystems with this engaging and effective simulation activity. Your students will complete two simulations, one for an ecosystem with low biodiversity, and one for an ecosystem with high biodiversity. Students will pretend to be pollinators interacting within the ecosystem, then observe what happens to the population when a disease sweeps through.
❤️Why You'll Love It:
- Detailed instructions make this simulation a breeze!
- Easy set-up with print and laminate pollinator cards.
- Interactive, engaging, and effective.
- Promotes deeper level critical thinking skills.
✍Students Will:
- Simulate pollinators in high and low biodiversity ecosystems
- Discuss as a class the impact of biodiversity on the health of ecosystems
- Answer post-activity questions to reinforce learned concepts
✅Included in this Resource:
- Instructor tips
- Detailed, step-by-step, simulation instructions
- Student handout and questions
- Pollinator cards
- Answer key
