’ original definitions for biodiversity. Ask them to refine the definition based on their work on this activity. Let students know that although species diversity is the most common measure of biodiversity, scientists also measure genetic diversity and ecosystem diversity. 2. Ask students why an ecosystem with a greater diversity of species might be healthier than an ecosystem with only a few species. (The larger the number of species, the more likely the habitat can recover from a change in conditions, such as
