Science Masters — Senior Cycle Biology Ecology & Biodiversity Exam Pack (New Spec 2025)
One of the most comprehensive Ecology resources available for Senior Cycle Biology, this 15-page Ecology & Biodiversity Mastery Pack is designed to develop deep biological understanding, scientific reasoning, and strong analytical skills across the full ecology section of the specification.
This resource contains structured Biology questions covering major ecological concepts including biodiversity, ecosystem stability, human impact, conservation, sampling techniques, sustainability, and ecological data interpretation.
Built using realistic scientific language and assessment-style structure, the pack supports students in developing the higher-order thinking and scientific-literacy skills required in Senior Cycle Biology.
Topics Covered
• Biodiversity
• Simpson’s Diversity Index
• Ecosystem stability and resilience
• Human impact on ecosystems
• Pollution and eutrophication
• Conservation biology
• Sampling techniques and ecological investigations
• Invasive species
• Habitat loss and sustainability
• Ecological reasoning and data interpretation
What’s Included
✔ Extended Ecology Questions
• Multi-part reasoning questions
• Data sets and graph interpretation
• Ecological systems and interdependence
• Cause-and-effect biological analysis
• Sustainability and environmental decision-making
✔ Simpson’s Diversity Index Activities
Students practise:
• Biodiversity calculations
• Comparing habitats and ecosystems
• Disturbance and ecosystem resilience
• Interpretation of ecological trends
• Year-on-year biodiversity analysis
• Ecological evaluation and justification
✔ Ecology Reading-Comprehension Scenario
Includes realistic environmental contexts involving:
• Nutrient runoff
• Eutrophication
• Invasive species
• Habitat destruction
• Human environmental impact
• Conservation and sustainability strategies
Students analyse biological information and apply ecological reasoning to real-world environmental issues.
Skills Developed
Students will strengthen their ability to:
• Interpret ecological data and graphs
• Analyse trends and ecosystem changes
• Construct evidence-based ecological explanations
• Apply scientific reasoning to environmental scenarios
• Evaluate human activities and sustainability strategies
• Develop confidence with higher-order Biology questions
