Module 3: Wild London
Week
Context
Exploring the habitats in London and find out what animals
live here already. Then choosing a habitat in London to be
the home of a mysterious animal
Skills
Investigating habitats and analysing different
environmental factors using quadrats, light
meter, temperature meters and pH meters.
2
Researching animal feeding relationships in order to draw a
food web and so discover what the mystery animal eats and
what preys upon it.
Describing feeding relationships in different
habitats and using the information to create
food chains and webs.
3
Studying adaptations of various animals in order to decide
the adaptations needed for the mystery animal to survive in
London.
Analysing adaptations to different habitats.
Explaining how adaptations develop.
4
Studying life cycles and predator prey relationships then
adapt this knowledge to the story of the mystery animal.
5
Building a model of the adapted mystery animal.
Describing predator prey cycles and using this
information to interpret changes in populations.
Explaining the life cycles of animals in different
habitats.
Creating a model of a mystery animal that is
adapted to a London habitat.
6
Ecology fair to present the different adapted mystery
animals.
1
Presenting the model of the mystery animal
describing and explaining its adaptations that
make it suitable to live in London, its feeding
relationships and its life cycle.
