BK Whopper or Spicy Beanburger?

• Should everyone become vegetarian?

2
Todays lesson is for

• Revising what we learned last lesson about how
  energy and biomass become less through a food
  chain
• Applying what we know to a real life question
• Using research and thinking skills to make a
  statement and support it with evidence

3
The plan

• First off revising the way that energy and
  biomass are lost through a food chain
• Looking at some statements and some background
  information about global vegetarianism
• Discussing our views

4
Step One

• Collect your set of ten statements.
• Decide which of the ten agree with or support the
  point of view your team are arguing for.
• Stick the statements you have chosen onto your
  worksheet on the left hand side.

5
Step Two

• In your team, decide who is going to research
  each statement supporting your point of view.
• Using the background information, write down on
  your worksheet the scientific explanation about
  that statement.
• Statements may be true or false.

6
Step Three

• In your team, share what you have found out for
  each statement.
• Decide which team member is going to read each
  statement and explain the scientific background.
• If your point of view does not have much
  evidence, think of some other things you could
  say.
• You might be able to pick holes in the other
  teams point of view.
