,,. Diversity; the spice of life Communicating and interacting for health and wellbeing The lesson Introduction • Show internet images of many species of different plants and animals from different biomes. Discuss the meaning of diversity and how the differences among things enhance the beauty of life. • Is any one species 'better' than another? Discuss the roles of different species in the food webs of different ecosystems. Development • Not one of us is better than another. We are all different-but with many similarities! Students investigate this concept as they work in pairs to complete the activity on page 47. • Do the differences you discover create problems between you or are they celebrated for the diversity and interest they bring to the class? • Working with the same partners, students identify and explore a difference between them. Discuss the difference between 'accepting' and 'challenging' each other's ideas or points of view. • Students complete the activity on page 48. Differentiation The activities are all outcome based. When completing them, students could be grouped in mixed abilities and the activities discussed before being completed. Conclusion • Students share the differences between themselves and their partner. Content description Describe how respect, empathy and valuing diversity can positively influence relationships (ACPPS037) 0 Resources • Sufficient copies of pages 47 and 48 • Internet images of different plant and animal species Assessment • Does the student know there is not a single person on the planet who is absolutely identical to another? • Does the student know we have many differences among us, including opinions about and preferences for a wide range of things? • Does the student know in our society, celebrating and accepting differences creates harmony? Going further • If people are excluded because there is something different about them, why is anyone ever accepted? Who decides which differences are acceptable and which are not? What do you think? Complete the activity on page 49 to identify what is different about you. Include physical, emotional, intellectual differences. • Using instructions from a website, make and use a Newton's disc to illustrate how different things can be a part of a whole (colours of the rainbow= white). • Identify important differences among students; e.g. religion and cultural traditions, preferred afterschool clubs. Choose ways to illustrate how these differences come together to create one class. ©R.I.C. Publications Low Resolution Images Display Copy 46 Australian Curriculum Health (Year 4) R.I.C.
