Lesson Title: Today we are learning about
What are the long term impacts of modern farming techniques?
Remember to check for PROGRESS
Focus on Knowledge, Skills and Understanding
Success Criteria: You will show your learning by...
  1. The efficiency of food production can be improved by restricting energy transfer from food animals to the environment.
  2. Some animals are fed high protein foods to increase growth.
  3. (WS) Understand that some people have ethical objections to some modern intensive farming methods.
  4. (WS) Evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of modern farming techniques.
  5. Fish stocks in the oceans are declining. It is important to maintain fish stocks at a level where breeding continues or certain species may disappear altogether in some areas
  6. Control of net size and the introduction of fishing quotas play important roles in conservation of fish stocks at a sustainable level
  7. (WS) Understand how application of different fishing techniques promotes recovery of fish stocks
Think about how you can match the needs of ALL students

    AFL/Key Questions:
    1. How could the efficiency of food production be improved?
      The efficiency of food production can be improved by restricting energy transfer from food animals to the environment.
    2. Why are some animals fed high protein foods?
      Some animals are fed high protein foods to increase growth.
    3. Why do some people have ethical objections to some modern intensive farming methods?
      Some people have ethical objections to some modern intensive farming methods because it reduces variation in plant species that could lead to a crop being wiped out by disease.
    4. Give an advantages and disadvantages of modern farming techniques.
      An advantage of modern farming techniques is increased yield. A disadvantage is a lack of diversity in a crop.
    5. Why is it important to maintain fish stock levels in the sea?
      Fish stock levels are declining. It is important to maintain fish stocks at a level where breeding continues or certain species may disappear altogether in some areas
    6. What plays an important part in conservation of fish stocks at a sustainable level?
      Control of net size and the introduction of fishing quotas play important roles in conservation of fish stocks at a sustainable level
    7. What is the most sustainable way of fishing?
      Use pole and line fishing techniques instead of nets.
    Identify questions for high, middle, low and identify questioning techniques- Challenge questions
