Exploring Earth's Resources: Inspiring Discussion on Environmental Importance Through Plants

This resource facilitates meaningful conversations about environmental issues, emphasizing how plants play a vital role in sustaining life on Earth. It aligns with CfE outcomes, encouraging exploration of food chains, understanding the benefits of plants to society, and showcasing the importance of photosynthesis. It also highlights the interdependence of animal and plant species for survival and predicts the impact of population growth on biodiversity. Delve into the significance of bogs, their role in water conservation and climate regulation, their biodiversity, and historical importance. Explore neglected peat-hags, home to sphagnum moss and unique wildlife waiting to be discovered.

  1. Looking after our Earth

  2. RESOURCES TO ENCOURAGE MEANINGFUL DISCUSSION ABOUT ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES

  3. PLANTS • This resource supports the following CfE outcomes: • I can explore examples of food chains and show an appreciation of how animals and plants depend on each other for food [SCN 1-02a]. • Through carrying out practical activities and investigations, I can show how plants have benefitted society [SCN 2-02b]. • I have collaborated on investigations into the process of photosynthesis and I can demonstrate my understanding of why plants are vital to sustaining life on Earth [SCN 3-02a]. • I understand how animal and plant species depend on each other and how living things are adapted for survival. I can predict the impact of population growth and natural hazards on biodiversity [SCN 4-01a]. • The resource also supports the new Scottish National 3 and 4 Biology courses.

  4. If you go down to the bog today

  5. A Bog near you

  6. BOGS They matter They hold our water They help our climate They are full of moss They have wildlife They tell history They smell

  7. And down in neglected peat-hags, not worked Within living memory, sphagnum moss in pastel shades Of yellow, green, and pink; sundew and butterwort Waiting with wide-open sticky leaves for their tiny winged prey; And nodding harebells vying in their colour With the blue butterflies that poise themselves delicately upon them; And stunted rowans with harsh dry leaves of glorious colour. Hugh MacDiarmid excerpt from 'Dìreadh I', from Complete Poems, Vol. II (Carcanet, 1994)
