STANDARDS
A. Content Standard The learners demonstrate understanding of:
D. Learning Objectives At the end of the period, the learners are expected to:
1. Define biodiversity and explain its importance.
2. Find out the amount of biodiversity and species distribution in a
community; and
3. Recognize and appreciate the diversity of life that exists in our planet.
II. CONTENT
A. Subject Matter/ Biodiversity Index
Topic:
B. Concepts: ֍ A biodiversity index is a scale of the diversity of plant and animal species at
your study site. Biodiversty is a widely used tool for estimating the complexity,
stability, and thus general health of an ecosystem.
