Lesson details
Key learning points
- The UK has lost on average about half of its biodiversity which is much more than many other countries in the world
- Biodiversity is the variety of all living things on Earth and how they fit together in the web of life
- Biodiversity is vital for food chains
- Something as simple as unmown verges can improve wildlife habitats for bees and other insects
Keywords
Average - An average is found by adding two or more numbers together and then dividing the total by the number of numbers added together.
Variety - Variety is where the collection of things are different from one another.
Food chain - A food chain shows how a group of living things are linked by what they eat.
Diverse - Diverse means different from each other.
Common misconception
Biodiversity loss is not about losing half of the UK's plants and animals, but half the variety.
A loss of variety could be demonstrated to children using coloured cubes. Rather than taking half of each colour, remove whole colour sets.
