Lesson Title: Today we are learning about
What factors affect the rate of decay?
Remember to check for PROGRESS
Focus on Knowledge, Skills and Understanding
Success Criteria: You will show your learning by...
  1. Students should be able to explain how temperature, water and availability of oxygen affect the rate of decay of biological material.
  2. Students should be able to calculate rate changes in the decay of biological material (MS)
  3. Students should be able to translate information between numerical and graphical form (MS)
  4. Students should be able to plot and draw appropriate graphs selecting appropriate scales for the axes. (MS)
  5. Gardeners and farmers try to provide optimum conditions for rapid decay of waste biological material.
  6. The compost produced is used as a natural fertiliser for growing garden plants or crops.
  7. Anaerobic decay produces methane gas. Biogas generators can be used to produce methane gas as a fuel.
  8. Required Practical 10 - Rate of Decay (AT skills 1,3,4,5)

    AFL/Key Questions:
    1. What three factors affect the rate of decay of biological material?
      Temperature, water and the availability of oxygen affect the rate of decay.
    2. Name two groups of people would want to provide optimum conditions for rapid decay of waste biological material.
      gardeners and farmers would want to provide optimum conditions for rapid decay of waste biological material.
    3. Why would gardeners and farmers want to provide optimum conditions for rapid decay of waste material.
      gardeners and farmers would want to provide optimum conditions for rapid decay of waste material to provide compost as a natural fertiliser for their soils for growing plants.
    4. Under what conditions can decay produce methane that can be used a biogas fuel?
      Anaerobic condition can produce methane gas. Biogas generators can be used to produce methane gas as a fuel.
