the result of their activity in front. of their activity in class.

IV. Analysis
Teachers Activity Students Activity
Compare how your tree I.D. would Answers may vary
be different in a vacant lot than
that in a grass lawn. Explain your
answer.

If humans were concerned about

biological diversity, would it be
best to have a low or high I.D. for
a particular environment?

V. Abstraction
Teachers Activity Students Activity
The teacher will discuss the following :
Population pertains to the number
of organisms of the same species
living in a certain place.
Biodiversity refers to the variety
of life in an area.
Communities with many different
species (a high index of diversity)
will be able to withstand
environmental changes better than
communities with only a few
species (a low index of diversity).
