Looking for a fun way to revise SATs with pupils? Then look no further! This workshop focuses on refreshing and renewing lots of science knowledge that pupils will need, based upon life processes and living things (Sc2). Using a selection of live animals during the session to make revision fun, memorable and motivating. After the workshop pupils will be able to unwind and relax exploring the rest of Noah’s Ark Zoo, an excellent educational setting…

Noah’s Ark has a wide variety of African animals. So before and after this session there are lots of opportunities to familiarise pupils with African animals. The workshop focusses on where different animals are located in Africa as well as looking at the various habitats and regions that are found there. Pupils have the chance to get hands-on with a selection of African animals. Come and experience a taste of Africa!

What is an animal habitat? What kind of habitats do animals live in? How do they cope with the weather? How do they find food? How do they escape their predators? All these questions and more are answered through the use of live animals and interactive tasks.

Pupils will learn about what types of food animals eat and how they are suited to eating it. We establish that animals need food for energy. Starting with ourselves as consumers, pupils are involved in an interactive activity constructing and recording food chains and simple webs.

Using a selection of photos, pupils consider animals, both familiar and exotic, in their natural habitat, identifying food sources and establishing the concept of foods chain showing energy flow originating from the sun.

A fantastic session to introduce your pupils to the animal kingdom and the variation within it. An interactive session which involves sorting animals into five vertebrate groups. Invertebrates are also mentioned and discussed in further detail with the older age groups.

Find out about classification, why we do it, how we do it and have a simple introduction into using keys. Get up close to some of our animals and discover how they are classified and why.

This interactive session addresses conservation issues such as habitat destruction, pollution and its effects on British Wildlife, threats that animals face in the wild and what we can all do to help. The workshop raises pupil awareness towards the role that they can play in protecting and maintaining our natural environment.

Meet some of our animals and learn about your senses and theirs. Discover how we both explore the world around us. What senses do we have? What senses do other animals have? We talk about different senses and what we use them for. Animals see, hear and feel in many different ways. Some animals are similar to us and others could not be more different. This session takes children into another animal’s world and explores what experiences would be like for them.
