Forest conservation strategies and biodiversity are the focus of this Grade 6 Science resource on trees and forests. Students examine how conservation decisions can protect forest biodiversity, maintain ecosystem services, and support the long-term viability of ecosystems.

Rather than treating conservation as a list of actions to memorize, the resource connects habitat protection, habitat restoration, genetic diversity, seed-source choices, and conservation planning. Students use scientific knowledge and evidence from the text to consider why particular strategies matter for forest ecosystems.

What Students Explore

• Identify conservation strategies that protect forest biodiversity and ecosystem services.
• Explain how habitat protection and restoration support long-term ecosystem viability.
• Describe why genetic diversity matters when forests are replanted.
• Consider how seed-source choices can influence replanting decisions.
• Use evidence from reading material to support answers about biodiversity and conservation.

Question and Activity Mix

The worksheet combines multiple-choice questions, true-or-false statements, short-answer responses, a reading passage, matching, a cloze passage, an essay, and a Did You Know section. This gives students opportunities to recall scientific ideas, interpret information, connect conservation strategies to ecosystem outcomes, and justify decisions using scientific reasoning.

Included Teacher and Student Support

• Student Notes & Lesson Summary supplement for reinforcing the key ideas.
• Separate Teacher Guide with Learning Objectives, Teaching Tips, Discussion Questions, and Common Mistakes.

The supporting materials give teachers a practical way to introduce or reinforce forest ecosystem conservation while providing students with a concise reference for the lesson concepts.

Classroom Use

Use this Grade 6 science worksheet during a Trees and Forests lesson, as guided practice after instruction, for independent work, or as a review of conservation concepts. The evidence-based questions can also support classroom discussion about how scientific knowledge informs decisions about protecting and restoring forest ecosystems.

By connecting biodiversity with ecosystem services, habitat protection, restoration, genetic diversity, and seed selection, this resource gives students a focused way to apply forest ecosystem science rather than simply recall terminology.
