BIODIVERSITY STUDY
LEARNING
INTENTIONS
Science Understanding / Biological
Sciences / Year 6
In this investigation, how the physical conditions of an environment
affect the growth and survival of living things and biodiversity of the
environment are investigated in the context of a comparative study
of two local sites within a school.
Learning Intentions
Students will be able to:
• identify a range of habitats
• make predictions about biodiversity of habitats in their local
area/school grounds
• measure the physical factors of a habitat
• collect and record data from a habitat
• construct representations of a habitat
• analyse findings from data collection
• infer how the physical factors of a habitat affect the survival of
the living things within that habitat (cause-and-effect relationships)
• make conclusions about the health of a habitat
• communicate their ideas and findings using scientific language
and representations.
