Exploring the World's Biodiversity *suitable for home teaching*

Produced by ARKive, this series of lessons allows students to learn about the variety of species around the world using the maps and species fact cards included in the support materials. By learning the definitions of biodiversity, species, habitat and ecosystem, students understand the importance of each concept and draw relationships between them. Students are then asked to research and produce a presentation on a particular species. The presentation gives the case for his or her species to be saved from the brink of extinction.
