Wildscreen ARK (ARKive) Age 7 to 11
With the help of the world’s best filmmakers, photographers, conservationists and scientists, ARKive created the ultimate multimedia guide to the world's endangered animals, plants and fungi. The materials contain teacher guidance as well as a wealth of images and classroom activities to help deliver learning into living things and the variety of life.
The resources look at a variety of topics and these include:
- designing a minibeast
- endangered species
- food chains
- plants and the variety of living things in a rainforest
- evolution
Please note that the ARKive.org website is no longer available. However, in March 2024, to continue the legacy of ARKive, Wildscreen launched Wildscreen ARK, an online nature education hub for young people, built to inspire curiosity about the natural world and empower them to protect it. The education resources are now being updated to reference the new website.
