To learn how the biodiversity has adapted to the environment. What am I? – In pairs students ask questions to guess a particular animal or plant species that can be found in temperate deciduous forests. 3 lessons (3 hours) Key idea 3.7 Deciduous woodlands ecosystems provide a range of goods and services some of which are under threat. Suggested learning objectives: To understand how temperate deciduous forest can provide goods and services for people. To learn how climate change can threaten the structure and functioning of deciduous forests.
