Which animals are endangered?

Why are they endangered?

What can we do to help endangered animals?

Discovering Endangered Animals encourages students to explore these questions through investigation, activities and discussion.

Beginning with a unit on why species have become endangered, each chapter covers a group of creatures (mammals, primates, birds, reptiles, sea creatures and insects) and contains a wealth of background information, interspersed with hands-on tasks. Fully reproducible worksheets include models to construct and activities for inside and outside the classroom. A unit on saving animals and habitats, plus games, solutions, contacts, a glossary and references round out this packed resource for the middle years classroom.

Discovering Endangered Animals caters to a wide range of learning styles and preferences. The content provides for higher levels of thinking, open-endedness and 'discovery'.
