Lessons for upper secondary school
The topics surrounding Dawn Chorus and bird songs are also ideal for exploring and deepening understanding of topics such as evolution, speciation and biodiversity in upper secondary school biology lessons. In addition, we also provide a database of already evaluated Dawn Chorus recordings, which enables students to answer questions they have chosen themselves, such as ‘Do blackbirds sing earlier in the city than in the countryside?’, by evaluating primary scientific data. The five lesson plans are already based on the LehrplanPLUS curriculum for the new upper secondary school.
