Biodiversity Resources & Lessons For KS1 & KS2

What is Biodiversity?

Biodiversity means the variety of life on Earth. It includes animals, plants, fungi and microorganisms. In simple terms, it’s about how many different kinds of living things share the same planet.

Children will learn how plants and animals live together in habitats, and how losing just one species can affect others. They’ll also look at how people can help protect nature.

You’ll find complete biodiversity lesson plans for Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, Year 4, Year 5 and Year 6. Use them as part of your Science topic or link them with Geography and PSHE.
