Skills & Standards

---

Designed for Alberta science classrooms, the activities naturally support crosscutting concepts (systems, stability and change, and interactions within the environment) while building disciplinary core ideas such as ecosystems, populations, and species relationships. Students practice modeling by using ecosystem and food web representations, apply analytical reasoning when comparing scenarios, and craft evidence-based explanations grounded in observations, data, and scientific vocabulary.

Perfect For

---

• Teachers seeking structured instruction
• Sub plans
• Homework or review
• Intervention or centers
• Assessment preparation

How to Use

---

Use this lesson bundle across a multi-day pacing plan, such as 3–5 lessons per week, rotating between modelling, inquiry, and application worksheets so students revisit ecosystems and biodiversity science in different contexts. Suggested approach: start with Indigenous knowledge and ecosystem modelling, follow with biotic/abiotic factors, food webs, and symbiosis, then move into monitoring methods, population and migration patterns, and finish with conservation status, biodiversity measures, pollution impacts, and adaptations; pair worksheets with class discussions, station work, and short exit tickets to check understanding before summative assessment.
