KS2 Lesson on animal adaptations, focusing on wild animals kept as pets.
Learning Objectives:
To explain the different adaptations animals use to survive in the wild.
To be able to identify how these adaptations provide an advantage in an animal’s natural habitat.
Explain why some animals are not suitable as pets.
Wild animals are perfectly adapted to life in their natural habitat. However, thousands of people across the UK now own an exotic or dangerous wild animal as a pet, including tigers, lions and primates. Through this standalone lesson learn about different wild animal adaptations and allow pupils to discuss whether they think wild animals should be kept as pets.

We are currently in the midst of both a biodiversity crisis and a climate crisis, with the 2022 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report stating we must act ‘now or never’. But, can one crisis be solved without the other, or are both interlinked?
Your students will decide.
Born Free’s Great Debate provides teachers with the tools to engage their students in meaningful debates about key wildlife or environmental topics. Through this topic, students will have the opportunity to delve deeper into the issue of climate change, and decide whether we need to harness the power of nature in order to reduce, or even adapt, to its impact.
Students will not only gain knowledge about the this topic, but also skills that will help them to research, frame and deliver an argument. Armed with these skills, young people are more equipped to take action to reduce their impact on the environment, and to encourage others to follow.
Lesson one – Causes & Impacts
Recap the causes and impacts of climate change, and examine the significance of 1.5°C.
Lesson two – Climate Change & Wildlife
Discover how wildlife helps us to mitigate against the impacts of climate change.
Lesson three/ Homework – Research
Research and frame opposing sides of the debate.
Lesson four – The Great Debate
Participate, listen and learn through a formal debate.
Lesson five – Action Planning
Identify calls to action and create a campaign to bring about local change.

Une courte unité de travail destinée aux élèves du primaire, ou aux élèves plus âgés apprenant le français langue étrangère, sur des animaux sauvages se produisant dans des cirques. Chaque leçon doit durer une heure, bien qu’il existe de nombreuses possibilités de raccourcir ou d’allonger les activités. Ce sujet a de nombreux liens transversaux, avec des liens étroits avec les programmes britanniques de science, de géographie, de SMSC et de citoyenneté.
Leçon 1. Adaptations animales
Décrire comment différents organismes sont adaptés à leur environnement
Expliquer pourquoi les organismes réussissent le mieux dans leur propre environnement naturel
Leçon 2. Une journée dans la vie d’un tigre
Pour comparer la vie d’un tigre dans la nature avec celle d’un cirque
Rédiger une entrée de journal intitulée «Une journée dans la vie d’un tigre».
Leçon 3. Faut-il interdire tous les animaux sauvages des cirques?
Comprendre les arguments pour et contre l’interdiction des animaux sauvages dans les cirques
Se forger une opinion
Ecrire une lettre convaincante.
Le contexte:
Dans le monde entier, des milliers d’animaux sauvages sont utilisés dans les cirques et forcés d’effectuer des tours humiliants et contre nature pour divertir le public. Le bien-être des animaux domestiques et sauvages est souvent gravement compromis dans un environnement de cirque.
Born Free travaille à travers le Royaume-Uni et l’Europe pour mettre fin à l’utilisation d’animaux sauvages dans les cirques et soutient les partenaires de la campagne internationale dans leurs efforts. Dans la mesure du possible, Born Free sauve les animaux des conditions épouvantables des cirques. Au fil des ans, nous avons sauvé et accueilli plusieurs grands félins de cirques en France, en Bulgarie, en Italie et en Allemagne. Nous leur fournissons des soins à vie de haut niveau dans des sanctuaires. Cependant, ce sont les plus chanceux.
