Non-Googleable Questions About Biodiversity

Lesson summary

This lesson is designed as a tuning in activity. Students participating in this activity are each asked to write down three questions about biodiversity, and to categorise these questions as either Googleable (questions whose answers can be found on the Internet) or Non-Googleable (questions whose answers can’t be found on the Internet). Students are then asked to answer both sets of questions using standard research techniques (Internet searches) or alternative research methods (such interview an expert or design an experiment).

Learning intentions:

Students will...

• build their Higher Order Thinking skills
• explore the topic of biodiversity
• build their thinking and questioning skills
