Teaching Materials
Positives
- This video has great footage of organisms interacting in a woodland environment.
- Vocabulary such as deciduous, coniferous, and hibernation are introduced with supporting images.
Additional Prerequisites
- This video is a preview of Discovery Education UK's habitat module on woodlands and a login is required to view additional content.
Differentiation
- Consider having students choose one species they observe in the video to research further and explain how it is adapted to living in a woodland habitat.
- This would be a good video to use in a science class when discussing the concepts of environmental change, adaptations, or ecosystem dynamics.
- Additional resources to use with this video when discussing woodlands are Climate in a Tree Stump and Seeing the Wood for the Trees: Introduction to Sustainable Forestry.
