EXPLAIN Biodiversity And Stability
e. Discussing new concepts
What is stability?
Living and spending time in a loving, secure and stable environment is
incredibly important for all of us. We all want to feel like we belong, that we
are loved and cared for and this is especially important for children and
young people who are unable to live with their own families.
What is Value?
Value has to do with how much something is worth, either in terms of cash
or importance.
Types of Organisms’ Value
Economically valuable- Economic importance refers to an action that
impacts how well we live.
Ecologically valuable- Species that are important due to their sheer
numbers are often called dominant species. These species make up the
most biomass of an ecosystem.
Value of species
1. Direct economic Value- The consumptive use
values are products from nature that can be harvest
and consumed, for example, fishing for food, plants
to produce medicines.
ELABORATE
a. Making generalization about
the lesson
3. The earthworms cultivate the soil to help farmers. What value of species it is?
a. Direct economic value
b. Indirect economic value
c. Aesthetic value
d. Both a and c.
EXTEND “Assignment”
Why should we care if the number of many organisms in an area is increasing or
decreasing?
