Links to RSPCA Education lesson resources

You can find further resources on our RSPCA Education website. They are all linked to the English and Welsh curricula. You may find the following resources particularly relevant for this topic.

All at sea

Students examine how different marine animals are adapted to where they live, and the features of predator and prey animals. The effect of human activity on their habitats and the population of the animals concerned are also discussed.

Living with badgers

The aim of this resource is to consider the impact of human activity on animals and the environment and to consider ways to minimise this impact. Students consider a case study of badgers whose habitat is threatened by building development. They explore views that are not necessarily their own, in addition to expressing their own opinions.

Second chances

Students examine the reasons why animals become endangered or extinct and consider the advantages and disadvantages of reintroducing species back into the environment.

Survival of the squirrels

Students examine how introduced species can affect native species. The session also identifies some important reasons why animals become endangered and analyses some of the measures used to conserve species.
