INFORMATION ABOUT (IDENTIFY THE BIODIVERSITY IN UR BACKYARD)
Answers
Answer:Random sampling allows you to make an estimate of the populations of different species in any area. It should eliminate sampling bias introduced by the sampler selecting areas that look interesting or easier to count.
Students may well be surprised by the biodiversity in an area they think of as ‘grass’. There is scope for students to develop and investigate hypotheses about plant distribution based on observations and measurements of factors such as soil, moisture, light intensity and wind speed.
Observations of human or other animal activity in the area, and background information about the characteristics of common playing field plants, provide further starting-points for developing hypotheses to test over short or long time-scales.
