What is happening to the world’s habitats? Explore where different cats live, investigate why big cat habitats are disappearing and what conservationists are doing to help!
Helping Habitats meets the following areas of the National Curriculum:
- identify how animals and plants are adapted to suit their environment in different ways and that adaptation may lead to evolution.
- recognise that environments can change and that this can sometimes pose dangers to living things.
Which cats live in Africa? Learn all about the wild cat species found across Africa focusing on the differences between the many African wild cat species before exploring their threats and learning about the people who are working hard to protect them!
Native African Wild Cats meets the following areas of the National Curriculum:
- explore and use classification keys to help group, identify and name a variety of living things in their local and wider environment
- give reasons for classifying plants and animals based on specific characteristics.
Why are rainforests important? This workshop focuses on rainforests, a crucial habitat type for some of the world’s most threatened cats. Learn about where we find rainforests, different layers in a rainforest and the animals you might find in each layer.
Remarkable Rainforests meets the following areas of the National Curriculum:
- recognise that environments can change and that this can sometimes pose dangers to living things.
- identify how animals and plants are adapted to suit their environment in different ways and that adaptation may lead to evolution.
Why is conservation so important? Discover how threatened some of our cat species are using our interactive IUCN red list game. Investigate the major threats to global big cat populations and learn why so many are endangered. See what is happening worldwide to help secure a future for big cats and how we can do our bit to help at home!
Crucial Conservation meets the following areas of the National Curriculum:
- recognise that environments can change and that this can sometimes pose dangers to living things.
- Pupils should explore examples of human impact (both positive and negative) on environments, for example, the positive effects of nature reserves, ecologically planned parks, or garden ponds, and the negative effects of population and development, litter or deforestation.
How do cats, from the biggest to the smallest survive in the wild? Learn all about the special adaptations from camouflage to claws that different cat species have to live and hunt in their environments.
Amazing Adaptations meets the following areas of the National Curriculum:
- explore and use classification keys to help group, identify and name a variety of living things in their local and wider environment
- identify how animals and plants are adapted to suit their environment in different ways and that adaptation may lead to evolution.
- give reasons for classifying plants and animals based on specific characteristics.
What does it take to look after our amazing cat species? In this session students will find out what a day in the life of a wild cat zookeeper is like and what we need to do to ensure the best lives for the cats in our care. There is also an opportunity to design an enclosure!
Extraordinary Exhibits meets the following areas of the National Curriculum:
- identify that animals, including humans, need the right types and amount of nutrition, and that they cannot make their own food; they get nutrition from what they eat
- find out about and describe the basic needs of animals, including humans, for survival (water, food and air)
