Students are the main body of the learning process, stimulate students interest in learning so that students can actively participate in the teaching process,
To improve learning ability, learning to learn approach is a very important process of teaching content.
In the design of this lesson in the teaching process, first by the creation of the scene broadcast wonderful natural beauty of the video, attracting the attention of students and to actively participate in class, import the new lesson. Student recommended by the characteristics of protected areas, under the guidance of teachers, awareness of biological diversity in the three levels of species diversity and ecosystem diversity of two levels. Species diversity and ecosystem diversity is very intuitive, easy to accept students, but the genetic diversity of biological diversity, internal factors are more abstract, is a heavy teaching difficult, therefore, in the teaching process, displaying vivid images, to make the abstract into intuitive, easy to accept the students, while the typical information, discuss and exchange students to think through, so heavy and difficult easy to break. Then goes on to explain and practice a combination of analysis of specific information (Dodo and 卡尔瓦利亚 tree), indicating that biological diversity, the relationship between the three levels and caused students to think more than the conservation of biological diversity (for example: When of human economic development and the conservation of biological diversity, conflict with, people how to deal with; for people to harmful organisms, people should take the attitude, etc.), student exchange through discussions to foster care for life, love of nature and the beautiful feelings; the same time for the next lesson to learn, “the conservation of biological diversity” pave the way for. Teaching students throughout the observation, analysis, discussion process, the experience of knowledge, development and change process.
Teaching:
Division: (broadcast of biological diversity video)
Division: nature is magic, just for a while we appreciate the beautiful natural scenery. Today’s society, there is a growing yearning for return to nature, a lot of eco-tourism become increasingly popular. The cross-strait youth science camp students are put in this summer camp destination for nature reserves locked, students find a lot of information on nature reserves and listen to their recommendations, we have to decide the purpose of this camp Which Nature Reserve.
Students: Hello everyone, welcome to the Hoh Xil Nature Reserve. At present, China established the Hoh Xil Nature Reserve is the largest in the world to save one of the most perfect nature reserve. Hoh Xil area in Qinghai is known in which there are 29 species of mammals, including five heads 9 Section 15 genera; birds of about 54 species of reptiles 1 species of fish 6. The best known species of Tibetan antelope, Tibetan wild donkey, wild yak, Tibetan gazelle and so on. Higher plants, 102 genera and 202 kinds. If you want to explore the mysterious Tibetan antelope, wild yak observed tenacious research to understand the rules of discipline of Tibetan wild ass, then come to our Hoh Xil it, the Hoh Xil to keep it warm and open arms to welcome your arrival. As the saying goes you give us a chance, we also you a surprise!
Students: Hoh Xil Tibetan antelope is good, but I think that our superior Zhalong Nature Reserve, we are here to birds and water birds known as “natural park” where not only “Crane’s hometown” is also a valuable natural wetlands protected areas, who in 1992 was included in the “List of the world’s important wetlands.” Known to the world known here for Crane, but also the kingdom of wild animals, here derived from many animals, fish, 46 species, 277 kinds of insects, 260 kinds of birds, 21 species of mammals, amphibians four kinds, three kinds of reptiles. In the world in 15 kinds of cranes, there are six kinds of Zhalong Nature Reserve, and the basic state 1, two key protected animals and wanted to come to close contact with them do? Wanted to come to observe them? That brought in Zhalong Nature Reserve, you will have unexpected gains.
Health: Their red-crowned crane is a good can be tantamount to not rely on Black-faced Spoonbill 呀! Welcome to the Minjiang River mouth wetlands. Fujian Minjiang Estuary wetlands are so far the largest wetland at the same time it is also the Asia-Pacific region is an important way to migratory birds settled station. Black-faced Spoonbill on the screen you see, it is the national animal protection 2. Chinese crested tern is also, it is known as the “myth of the bird,” is the number of gull species in the least, and also that people once thought extinct species is it! In addition, there are Gramineae, Asteraceae, Juncaceae more than 80 kinds of plants, more than 100 kinds of plankton and 40 species of fish, prawns, crabs and shellfish resources. These can impress you? Here convenient, inexpensive, 咱 Zhalong why he went so far to go? Hastened to visit it, not as good as cardiac action Oh!
Students: Hello everyone, Welcome to the Wuyi Mountain Nature Reserve. As everyone knows, Mount Wuyi is a mountain southeast of China, located in Fujian and Jiangxi at the junction of winding hundreds of thousands of miles, the “Qixiu A southeast,” the laudatory name. Here it became a natural barrier, blocked in the winter cold air from the north, but also in the summer to retain a lot of warm and humid maritime air mass, so that where large tracts of green leaves form a broad-leaved forest, but also gave birth to a number of national focus on the protection of rare wild animals and plants. We see the screen, which is south of Yew. It is a high oil content of seeds is a piperazine citrate, negatively eating precious medicinal herbs. This is Cabot’s Tragopan and white-necked Pheasant. They are protected animals at the national level. Therefore, the study tour would come to us Wuyishan, yew here waiting for you!
Students: Welcome to the prestigious Wolong National Nature Reserve. It is China’s largest area of habitat, natural conditions, the most complicated and rare animals and plants the most comprehensive nature reserve. Is also China’s first Special Administrative Region of the natural resource conservation. Dense virgin forest, at the Sichuan Basin and Qinghai-Tibet Plateau transition zone, from sub-tropical to temperate, boreal creatures are distributed. It has six different natural vegetation provides a habitat for a variety of biological sites. Here, you can see the nearly 4,000 species of plants, about 2200 kinds of animals. If you want to, and charmingly naive panda “first intimate contact”, and further observation, understanding, this is definitely live up to those of the first choice. The giant panda distribution area accounting for about one-tenth of the total. Zhalong there is a bird’s paradise, can look at our Wolong, also in the birds to find “paradise”, the total principal oh. A wide variety of birds, accounting for 50% of China’s special birds. Therefore, the Wolong Nature Reserve, the “hometown of panda”, “valuable biological gene bank”, “natural zoological and botanical gardens,” famous Chinese and foreign. When you considered the mysterious Hoh Xil, pondering Zhalong, bought in to the Minjiang River mouth wetlands tickets, looking over the beautiful Mount Wuyi, do not forget to look at our tour in Wolong Nature Reserve, Oh!
Division: I thank the staff of several protected areas, introduction, listening to the briefing, the students what do you think?
Students: Students are introduced Nature Reserve has its own unique and would like to go to each of them. Many species in protected areas, in particular, are very rich treasure of flora and fauna. Protected areas is very beautiful scenery.
Division: (show some of the individual species in protected areas of the data sheet) just the students mentioned in the introduction of protected areas a lot of kinds of organisms, in fact these organisms only a small part of the biological nature. How many kinds of bio-in the end, anybody’s guess, scientists have different opinions, some saying that there are 5 million kinds, and some say there are 10 million kinds, more to say there are as many as 100 million kinds. However, there have been more than 200 types of identity million species, a figure sufficient to explain biological species are rich and diverse. Strange things on the planet live in a wide variety of organisms, which reflects the diversity of biological species. China is the most abundant species in the world. (Showing some of China’s flora and fauna in the world ranking tables) in which vertebrate fish, birds and mammals species are located in the forefront of the world. (The picture shows a variety of gymnosperms) knows what the living world ranking first in China do?
HEALTH: China is the most abundant gymnosperms countries, known as “the hometown of gymnosperms.”
Division: protected areas and beautiful scenery, preservation of intact ecosystems, students can try Tell me, have just introduced it a few protected areas, what are the typical ecosystems.
Students: forest ecosystems, wetland ecosystems, grassland ecosystems. (Eco-system diagram can be displayed to prompt)
Teachers: In addition to just the students said these ecosystems, it also know what types of ecosystems?
Students: urban ecosystems, agricultural ecosystems, freshwater ecosystems, desert eco-systems.
Teacher: a variety of ecosystem types, reflecting the diversity of the ecosystem. Nature Reserve is a variety of ecosystems and species of the natural store. Establishing nature reserves is to protect the biological diversity of an effective measure. Reference to biological diversity, in the past we all think that biological diversity is the diversity of species. In actual fact, as people continue to deepen the level of awareness of biological diversity, enrich the connotation that it includes not only the diversity of species, but also the diversity of ecosystems, in addition to these two, there are other meaning do, and we went to explore.
Division: (show goldfish, giant panda picture) goldfish and the giant panda is a different species, their morphological characteristics very different from what are the inherent causes?
Students: goldfish and the giant panda, whether morphological or physiological characteristics all have a very big difference. Goldfish is a fish, scaly surface, with fins, with gill respiration, etc.; giant panda is a mammal, surface coat, with lungs breathe, viviparous, breastfeeding and so on. Genetic manipulation of biological traits, so these differences are caused by different genetic make-up, different kinds of bio-genetic makeup of the difference is larger.
Teachers: Different kinds of biological differences between the genetic make-up, the same species between the genetic make-up whether the same? (Display of different varieties of goldfish) is also a goldfish, they are between individuals What are the differences? What causes it?
Students: caudal fin, eye, body color is different. Is caused by a different genetic make-up.
Division: the same species composition of each individual’s genes are different. Such as: there are 50,000 varieties of rice, the genetic composition of these species have a variety of differences, all the genes of these species constitutes the gene pool of rice. All of the genetic composition of each type of organism, a gene pool.
Species diversity and the same kinds of biological differences between the different individuals, all can be reflected on the genetic diversity can be said that the essence of all genetic diversity. So many varieties of goldfish is through the genetic diversity to nurture. In China there was a great scientist makes use of the genetic diversity to solve the food problem of China’s population.
Students: Yuan Longping the use of genetic diversity of cultivated wild rice and ordinary rice hybridization, so that high yield of hybrid rice by 10%. Not only is basically solved the food problem in China, also the contribution of hybrid rice technology to the world, the tense of the country for a number of food brought the Gospel. Genetic diversity of genetic breeding of plants and animals provide a valuable resource.
Division: Now students can complete to summarize the three levels of biodiversity do?
Students: species diversity, genetic diversity, ecosystem diversity
Division: Biological diversity, What is the relationship between the three levels? Through an example of our common understanding with the analysis. (Show the pictures and materials Dodo: European sailors diary shows that in the 15 centuries ago, Mauritius Island Dodo can be seen everywhere. Later, European settlers arrived in the island of Mauritius, they frantically hunted meat tender delicious Dodo, combined with the colonists had brought pigs, dogs, rats and so on, Dodo extinct. Dodo after the extinction, Mauritius Island 卡尔瓦利亚 trees are threatened with extinction. This tree peel kin thick, hard seed germination. 卡尔瓦利亚 Dodo most like to eat the fruit of the tree, after the fruit through the dodo’s digestive tract, skin thinning, and fruit to the normal germination of seeds. Mauritius dodo after the extinction of , triggering the local 卡尔瓦利亚 examples of endangered tree.) from the Dodo examples of them to realize what are the implications?
Students: (in teacher-guided analysis) dodo’s extinction is a loss of biological species, arbitrary arrests and the killing of people a great extent, destroyed the species diversity. Dodo disappeared, Dodo’s gene pool will disappear, and people’s activities undermine the genetic diversity. Dodo’s extinction, the 卡尔瓦利亚 tree does not normally germinate, resulting in the destruction of forest ecosystems, loss of habitat for many organisms, leading to species diversity and genetic diversity further diminished.
Teachers: We have tried to sum together the three levels of biological diversity, the relationship between: Each biological composition by a number of individuals, the genetic composition of these individuals there is a difference, and they together constitute a gene pool; each Also living in a certain bio-ecological systems, and with other species linked. Decrease in the number of certain organisms, or extinction, it will definitely affect the ecological system; when dramatic changes in the ecosystem, it will also speed up the diversity of species and genetic diversity.
Division: Dodo has vanished from the earth, it is only souvenirs, artwork, picture to see it’s image. These are a reminder of the people, to love and protect endangered wildlife, do not let them repeat the tragedy of the dodo.
Division: Biological diversity is human survival and development of precious resource. The protection of biological diversity is to protect human beings themselves, human beings for the protection of biological diversity, have made great efforts.
Division: Tibetan antelope is endemic to China’s treasured wildlife, the people in order to protect them, made great efforts. (Display wild animals in the Qinghai-Tibet Railway Corridor and the Tibetan antelope picture and video) construction of the railway passage of wild animals have to spend a lot of money, why spend huge sums of money to build it?
Students: the train rumbling voice would be a big shock naturally timid antelopes will affect their migratory routes and habits. Wildlife passageways, fences, warning signs and migration induced by facilities such as the Qinghai-Tibet railway to protect rare wild animals live a normal life, migration and reproduction.
Division: Qinghai-Tibet Railway construction of wildlife crossings is that people will be conservation of biological diversity, human development and the harmonious combination of the perfect embodiment.
Protection of endangered creatures to protect it is a matter of course, but some students may want to ask questions, such as mosquitoes, flies, rats of these pairs of mankind “harmful” biological, should we still go to protect them? For they are what we human beings of the measures?
Students: (to discuss and reach a consensus), as mosquitoes, flies, rats and some of these pairs of animals are harmful to humans, but they are also part of the food chain, to have an important role in maintaining ecological balance. As the role of the food chain on the planet disappear one for each species, there will be related to disappearance of many species, so harmful to human beings should not be the complete elimination of biological, but should control their development so that the maintenance of a certain amount.
Division: conservation of biological diversity has a positive meaning, how to protect biological diversity, the students go back and look for information, the next lesson we work together to learn how to protect biological diversity.
Teaching Reflection: (Chen himself)
This lesson embodied in the teaching of philosophy students self-study, teacher-led instruction. The creation of scenarios for students recommended protected areas and train the students the ability to collect and collate information, but also tempered the language ability of students to fully reflect the students own learning. Construction of knowledge is also more reasonable, first introduce two intuitively easy to understand biological diversity levels (species diversity and ecosystem diversity), and through a variety of teaching methods to guide students to understand the inner essence of the abstract level (gene diversity), Deep level of knowledge of students in line with the second year. Emotional values of penetration is also very natural, especially for students to understand the pros and cons, such as flies, rats and the like in life for people of harmful organisms. The inadequacies of the whole class is to grasp the rhythm, the former tight after the song, hope for the coming slowly hone their teaching.
Instructor Comments: (Liu ying days teachers)
“Understanding biological diversity” section that covers the broad macro, how to tap the teaching materials for students to actively participate in classroom learning in the past. The development of teachers teaching resources and options, as well as classroom organization and management becomes important. Choose the one hand, quite a lot of material, to select a typical, and life experiences with students, echoing the original material, can stimulate students interest in learning so that students more easily integrated into learning activities. Teachers must be conscientious. On the other hand, teachers on how to lead students to take the initiative to carry out all levels of classroom learning activities, learning to play the role of a good guide, but also need to originality of design and thinking.
Chen introduced the teacher from the nature reserve to enable students to do tour guides as an entry point to mobilize the consciousness and the main body of students learning motivation, teacher-student collaboration, clever and easy solution to the “biological diversity”, the term “species diversity” and the “ecosystem diversity” issue, followed by interspecific comparisons and intraspecific comparison of methods to enable students to observe and ponder, to discuss the inherent biological differences between the different genes in essence, it shall be genetic diversity, thereby explicitly “Biodiversity” the full meaning. In the understanding of genetic diversity, Chen teachers can use examples from the utilization of genetic diversity, genetic protection of rare species and the “harmful” restrictions on the protection of bio-genetic, to lead students in progressive layers of interesting Fun to think about, discuss and exchange views, so that the classroom is full of fun and wisdom. Teachers also strain and wit are fully reflected. Finally, the students are fully met the emotional circumstances, the teachers in practice, the contents of this section to consolidate and deepen the teaching mission well accomplished, it should be said that this is a lively and it makes interesting reading and efficient biology lessons.
