Lesson Plan: Setting Up The Biodiversity Investigation, Center For Urban Resilience
Module 06: Urban Biodiversity
The purpose of this lesson is to connect the issues around biodiversity to the students’ field site. The lesson starts with a class discussion where students talk about what they believe the bird biodiversity is at their field site, and whether or not they believe it is likely to be higher in some areas compared to others. Then in groups students develop the research question they will be investigating in this module as well as their predictions for that research question. Students will return to this investigation four times during the module to collect data and then to analyze the …

Lesson Plan: Identifying Birds, Center For Urban Resilience
Lesson Plan: Identifying Birds, Center For Urban Resilience
Module 06: Urban Biodiversity
The purpose of this lesson is to familiarize students with taxonomy and basic birding skills, including using binoculars, navigating field guides and identifying birds. The lesson begins with a discussion of taxonomy and the importance of naming or identifying birds. The students are introduced to both the binoculars and field guides before they go outside to conduct a bird binocular race. During the binocular race, students use binoculars and field guides to identify pictures of birds on laminated cards. If time permits, students can practice their skills on a bird walk around the schoolyard. They will use these birding skills …

Lesson Plan: Bird Biodiversity Data Collection (Day 1), Center For Urban Resilience
Module 06: Urban Biodiversity
The purpose of this lesson is for students to begin collecting observations in order to answer their research question as part of their field investigation and to inform their action plan. The lesson begins with a review of how to identify birds with the students identifying four birds shown in a PowerPoint. In their groups, students discuss their data collection protocol before they head outside. Students go outside to collect their first set of bird biodiversity data. The reflection question for today focuses on whether students need to revise or refine their methodologies in order to collect appropriate data for …

Lesson Plan: Biodiversity Game, Center For Urban Resilience
Module 06: Urban Biodiversity
The purpose of this lesson is to help students think about the factors that impact the biodiversity of an ecosystem as well as the characteristics of a community that allow it to be more sustainable. This lesson begins with a discussion on various factors that may impact the biodiversity of an area. Students then play a game to illustrate the idea that the more biodiverse a community, the more likely it is to survive various environmental impacts (it is more sustainable). Students will then read about and discuss factors that reduce biodiversity. When they play the game again, students will …

Lesson Plan: Bird Biodiversity Data Collection (Day 2), Center For Urban Resilience
Module 06: Urban Biodiversity
In this lesson, students go outside to collect data for the second time to answer their research questions for their bird biodiversity study. In their field notes, students are asked to think about what factors might impact the bird biodiversity on their site in order to make connections to the event cards from the biodiversity game in Lesson 6.

Lesson Plan: Habitat Fragmentation And Species Survival, Center For Urban Resilience
Lesson Plan: Habitat Fragmentation And Species Survival, Center For Urban Resilience
Module 06: Urban Biodiversity
The last two lessons explored how specific events impact biodiversity. This lesson adds to the concept that biodiversity is impacted by events. One such event is a change in land use. Habitat loss and fragmentation in urban settings impacts the survival of many species. Through this sequence of activities, students will find that the more connected and closer the habitat patches, the more likely the population is to survive. After exploring the online simulation, students will consider best practices for designing green space in their own urban area so that species are able to immigrate between the patches and increase …

Module 06: Urban Biodiversity
This is the last lesson where students go outside to collect bird biodiversity data for their field study. In this lesson, students are asked to consider the fragmentation of their study site and the migration patterns of the birds in their site. Again, the goal is to connect to the in-class activities and encourage students to apply the science concepts covered in the classroom to their field study.

Lesson Plan: Analysis And Interpretation Bird Biodiversity Data, Center For Urban Resilience
Module 06: Urban Biodiversity
This lesson is the culminating field site-based lesson in which students analyze the data they have been collecting over the last couple of weeks. Students apply the various scientific concepts they have been learning about biodiversity to make sense of their own data. After analyzing their own data in groups, students present their findings to the entire class. As part of these presentations, the class will discuss the validity of the different groups’ claims and whether they are supported by the data collected from the field as well as the various science concepts they have been learning in class.
