Endangered Species Field Trip

Students work in groups and experience what it is like to be a hatchling marine turtle by playing a board game.  In this endangered marine turtles lesson, students research the threats to marine turtle hatchlings. Students then create a...

In this science worksheet, students prepare their report outline on an endangered species, describe their animal's habitat, explain their eating habits as well as the main reason why their animal is an endangered species.

Students identify and explain some caused of endangerment and extinction for species as well as explain the effects of extinction on an ecosystem. Teachers use this lesson plan before teaching students about collecting insects or plants.
