Teacher: Esraa El marakby
Number of hour: 45 minutes
Course Expectations
B1. Analyze the effects of various human activities on the diversity of living things
B2. Investigate through laboratory and/or field activities, or through simulations, the principles of scientific
classification, using appropriate sampling and classification techniques.
B3. Demonstrate an understanding of the diversity of living organisms in terms of the principles of taxonomy and
phylogeny.

Learning Goals
Learning Objectives: By the end of the activity, the students will be able to:
- Explain how plants and animals support each other in the food chain or food web;
- Identify human-caused species loss as one of the major current threats to biodiversity;
- Explain the species diversity level of biodiversity;
- Explain how the disappearance of one species affects other species.
- Brief introduction into the diversity of living and non-living organisms.
Success Criteria
By the end of this lesson, the student will:
-Organizing their knowledge of the diversity of living organisms and their places in our chain of life.
-What are the fundamental characteristics of all organisms?
Activities Checks FOR Understanding
Unit 1 – lesson 1
5 minutes
Self Introduction (Teacher and students) Self introduction and simple
After the teacher introduces, allow students to introduce definitions
themselves as well.
Teacher may chose an ice breaker to help with this
activity, like passing a stuffed animal or singing out their
names in a funny voice.
Definition of diversity
biodiversity, food chain.
20 minutes
Musical instruments game In-class game
Purpose: Students play a round of “musical chairs” using
drawings of different species in a food web. The
disappearance of “chairs” signals the extinction of that
species. Students learn how the extinction of species
affects others in the food web.
Motivation: This is important to build up the excitement

amongst students and get them engaged in wanting to
learn more about our existence and the existence of
biological organisms on our planet and how they work
together to survive.
1. Play the musical instruments game.

2. Finish with a short discussion on species In-class discussion
extinction and a brainstorming session on what
students can to reduce and eliminate
biodiversity loss.
3. As a class, complete the L column of the KWL
chart.
4. Talk about career options as a biologist as well
as other careers that involve taking biology as
a course.
10 minutes
Living and non-living things Discussion
- Teacher demonstrates on PPT that there are living and

non-living creatures, draw a chart on the board and In-class discussion
discuss these questions?
AOL question #What are the fundamental characteristic
of all organisms?
Lead students into a discussion to try to answer tthis
question
1. Can you list some living and non-living things?
Try to get things like water and soil into the
discussion as non-living. Discuss what makes
them living, or non-living?
10 minutes
Blood Activity: With Play dough
What makes us living organisms different from each
other and how to classify?
1) Vertebrate or invertebrate
2) Number of hearts
3) Body temperature
4) Red blood cells
What is the function of blood in living organisms?
1. Split the class into five teams, and hand out a large
piece of both blue and red
Play-Doh to each group to be shared.
2. Have them make models of the human blood cells.
3. Ask them to describe the shape: Two (bi) inward dents
(concave) on a disk…
Biconcave disk.
4. Why did we give you both red and blue Play-Doh? The
red illustrates blood with
oxygen attached to the haemoglobin, while blue In class activity
represents blood without. Have
students look at their veins and show them that they have
blue blood too. If people aren’t getting enough oxygen,
that’s why their lips appear blue. Explain that when we
have cuts, the air bond to any blood making it red right
away. So breathing is definitely important to survive and
is one classification that is important in all living
organisms.
