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
