This lesson corresponds with the UK national curriculum for Science, focusing on the study of living organisms and their interactions with the environment.
| Step Number | Step Title | Length | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Introduction to Competition | 5 minutes | Introduce the concept of competition; ask students what they think it means in a survival context. |
| 2 | Biotic and Abiotic Factors | 10 minutes | Explain biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living) factors; provide examples. Use visuals to illustrate. |
| 3 | Group Activity: Competition Game | 10 minutes | Divide students into small groups. Give each group a scenario involving plants or animals competing for resources. Have them discuss and come up with how competition plays a role in their scenario. |
| 4 | Class Discussion | 3 minutes | Have groups share their scenarios and findings with the class, focusing on competition's impact on survival. |
| 5 | Recap and Homework Assignment | 2 minutes | Summarize key points of the lesson. Assign students to find and write down three examples of competition in their backyard or local park for homework. |
Students will find three examples of competition between plants and/or animals in their backyard or local park. They will write a few sentences about each example, describing the biotic and abiotic factors involved. The homework will be collected the next class for review, but no presentations will be required.
