Habitats LEARNING OBJECTIVES To be able to make suggestions about where to find sea birds To be able to describe the types of sea birds they expect to find in a coastal habitat To know that a coastal habitat has particular features To be able to identify living things found in coastal habitats To be able to identify the physical features in a coastal habitat To be able to describe what sea birds need to live in a coastal environment ICT LINKS VOCABULARY Geography Habitat, colonise, condition, ecosystem, Use of Internet & CD ROMs to research different habitats Art interdependence, species, suited, Google Maps Science burrows, marine, terrestrial, coast, http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/habitats beach, gannetries http://resources.woodlandsjunior.kent.sch.uk/revision/science/living/habitats.html ACTIVITIES RESOURCES Make a simple map of Burhou Island. Predict what you will find there. Mark on the map Books and CD ROMs. the location of any living things. Videos Discuss why particular sea birds and other living things are found in particular places. Photographs Link to work on rocks and food chains. Maps of Burhou Describe/draw how you think the habitat would look in spring, summer, autumn and Internet (Google Maps), winter, morning, afternoon and night. Discuss your answers. Project website Create a poster/advertisement for a Puffin Home. List the reasons why Burhou’s puffins are under threat from nature and human activity. POSSIBLE INVESTIGATIONS Alderney’s Gannets nest out on large rocks in the ocean. What are the benefits of this? Are there any negative factors? NC Outcomes: Key stage 1 Pupils Should: Key Stage 2 Use simple terms to describe a coastal environment e.g. name more than one feature plus plant/animals/sea birds likely to be found there. Name some sea birds found in a coastal environment (when shown picture of coastline.) Suggest where specific sea birds might be found. Give a simple account of why they need to look after the environment and the sea birds and wildlife found there. Tell you simply why sea birds live in particular habitats e.g. fish needs water. Identify two physical features in a coastal habitat. Suggest some birds, plants and animals that are found on our coastlines. Identify some of the sea birds, plants and animals found in a coastal habitat. Give one reason why sea birds choose to live on a rocky coastline. Pupils Should: Be able to draw a “physical features” map of Burhou Island. Make sensible suggestions about why sea birds, plants and animals are found on Burhou. Predict accurately some of the sea birds, plants and animals they would expect to find in a coastal habitat. Suggest links between physical features and the presence of sea birds on Burhou Island
