UK woodland animals fact file - Worksheet

Embark on an exploratory journey through the UK's woodlands and forests with this engaging worksheet designed to educate about the native wildlife. Students are encouraged to form groups of six, with each member becoming an expert or 'champion' for one particular woodland creature. The task involves filling out a detailed fact file that not only lists the animal's name and provides a space for a photograph but also delves into various aspects of each creature's life and environment.

The fact file prompts students to investigate and record the specific terminology for male and female animals, the type of habitat they thrive in, and whether they reside above or below ground. It also explores their diet, their modes of movement, their predators, and their lifespan. The exercise is aimed at fostering a deeper understanding of why animals select certain habitats, both in the UK and globally. This activity not only teaches students about woodland wildlife but also encourages teamwork, research skills, and a greater appreciation for the natural world around them. The worksheet is a resource from Focus Education (UK) Ltd, designed to enrich the learning experience for students.
