Resource Overview
In this interactive biodiversity lesson, students work in small groups to complete a probability-based simulation that models biodiversity in temperate and tropical forests. As deforestation occurs in the model forests, students gain insights into the relationship between human population pressures, species extinction, and ecosystem balance.
Use this video alongside our World of Difference lesson plan to help students practice data literacy skills while learning about biodiversity loss. For more details on this lesson, click the green button below.
