2. Stories of change - Saving Today’s Dinosaurs

These three 45 minute sessions follow on from the introductory session to 'Saving Today's Dinosaurs' and explore stories of how humans are trying to have a positive impact on the environment to address the problems of

2A - habitat loss

2B - water pollution

2C - noise and light pollution

Each session includes an online poll for pupils to share their opinions, key vocabulary, a warm-up game or activity and a video from the Natural History Museum exploring the different ways in which people are trying to have a more positive impact on the environment. Pupils are also provided with case studies on a wide range of birds that are being negatively impacted by human activities and given time to reflect and come up with possible solutions through a creative challenge to protect either the birds explored in the case studies, or birds in their own local area. 

The sessions finish with a quiz to test pupils' learning and further ideas for protecting 'today's dinosaurs'.
