Aesthetic and Cultural Value: Biodiversity provides aesthetic and cultural value, contributing to the well-being of humans.
Economic Value: Biodiversity provides various ecosystem services, such as pollination, clean water, and air purification, which are essential for human survival and economic activities.
Threats to Biodiversity
Despite its importance, biodiversity is under threat due to several human activities, including:
Threats to biodiversity and their impacts on ecosystems.
Conservation strategies and their effectiveness in protecting biodiversity.
Case studies of successful biodiversity conservation efforts and their implications for global sustainability.
It is also beneficial to explore real-life examples of diverse ecosystems and the species within them, as well as the role of human activities in shaping biodiversity patterns.

Earth/Space Science: Students will use scientific skills and processes to explain the chemical and physical interactions (i.e., natural forces and cycles, transfer of energy) of the environment, Earth, and the universe that occur over time.
Earth History: Explain how sedimentary rock is formed periodically, embedding plant and animal remains and leaving a record of the sequence in which the plants and animals appeared and disappeared.
Explain how sedimentary rock buried deep enough may be reformed by pressure and heat and these reformed rock layers may be forced up again to become land surface and even mountains.
