This educational resource focuses on the significance of environmental assessments in the workplace, particularly for individuals with scientific qualifications. Students will learn to plan and execute a survey of the school's grounds using appropriate tools and methods. The project includes measuring biotic factors (like plant and animal life) as well as abiotic factors (such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, and light levels). Through sampling techniques like quadrats, point frames, and continuous line transects, students will present their findings and understand the relationship between environmental factors and living organisms.

Science in the workplace Environmental Surveys
Reason for survey: • <to be completed by teacher>
Learning outcomes • Understand the importance of environmental assessments in the workplace activity of someone with scientific qualifications and skills • Plan and carry out a survey of part of the school grounds using suitable equipment • Present the survey results showing which plants are present alongside measurements of factors such as temperature, humidity, windspeed and light level
Biotic and abiotic surveys Biotic: Living things (plants and animals) Abiotic: Non-living factors • Temperature • Light • Windspeed • Abiotic factors affect living organisms so must be measured.
Biotic sampling techniques Sample measurements are taken to represent a larger area. These samples allow scientists to describe the environment. Scientists use: • Quadrats • Point frames • Continuous line transect
