Students will understand the reasons why some animals have become endangered and outline conservation efforts to protect the animals from extinction. There are several fact pages on the "famous" endangered species such as the giant panda, the rhinoceros and the whale. However, there is also a strong emphasis on some of the lesser known endangered species, such as the leafy sea dragon, the manatee, the harlequin frog and the northern hairy-nosed wombat. The activities aim to develop students' creative thinking skills using the theme of endangered animals. Each activity is stand-alone and all activities are ideal for either a learning centre, homework challenge or general library or classroom lessons.
