Rates of decomposition is a comprehensive lesson designed to help GCSE students develop their understanding of the factors which affect the rate of decay of organic matter through engaging activities and differentiated instruction.
This lesson is primarily designed for UK students, with British English spellings and vocabulary, but the content and activities are adaptable to suit the needs of students in other countries with similar educational systems. It is the 4th in a series of lessons and covers the content from the AQA 4.7.2.3 Decomposition lesson (B7 Ecology unit unit), and AQA GCSE Biology OUP Scheme B17.4 Rates of decomposition lesson (B17 Organising an ecosystem chapter).
The lesson includes all necessary resources, making it easy to implement in your classroom and the lesson's text is adaptable, allowing you to adjust the duration and depth of the activities based on your students' progress and time constraints.
