I urgently need the help of a science expert to help me determine the possible scientific objectives (biochemical) of a project on biodiversity on water. What else can be included?
I wrote them but I need your check:
Biodiversity in water and waterways in our local area.
Scientific objectives
-Describe the diversity of soil organisms (microorganisms and fauna).
-Decipher their interactions through trophic nets (subsequently called food webs).
-Determine the role played by soil organisms in soil functioning and the delivery of major ecosystem services: nutrient cycling, carbon storage, water retention, soil structure regulation, resistance to pests and diseases, and regulation of above-ground diversity.
-Assess the stability and resilience of ecosystem biodiversity against threats: soil erosion and physical degradation, decline in organic content, and soil contamination.
Technological objectives (shall I include them??)
-Develop and standardise tools and procedures to measure microbial and faunal diversity.
-Establish high-throughput molecular assays for assessing microbial and faunal diversity.
-Customise functional tools and methods to determine the functional diversity of fauna.
-Design, develop and establish a database aimed at mapping the European soil biodiversity and threats

Research about the subject. Coop-learning process
- To be aware about ………………….
- To learn key vocabulary as for example ………, …..
- To produce simple sentences in English related to ….. effect process, as for example: the ……process is caused by …….
- To be able to use words related to ……….. for example:
- To be able to classify ……………. and to be aware of what we must do to……………. it.
- To consolidate the knowledge ……….. (depending on the group)
- To make students organize themselves and to distribute the tasks.
- To be able to understand specific content in WebPages in English and to extract the needed information. (guided and supported)
- To use English when asking for help as for example: What does it mean? I don’t understand this question.
