The Curiosity Crows

Average Rating3.00
(based on 22 reviews)

Welcome to The Curiosity Crows! I’m an autistic explorer with a passion for natural sciences and the planet. I create hand-drawn, minimalist, black and white coloring pages—ideal for early finishers, students who need a brain break, or as top-up pages and wet break time fillers. You’ll also find photo bundles of images taken in the days of camera film rolls, perfect for bringing a touch of exploration and nostalgia into your lessons. And paper dolls for top-up activities for your class.

Diet and Nutrition: Butter

(0)
A drawing of a block of butter that I did for my class as part of our module on health, nutrition, and healthy eating. We were in the former Soviet Republic of Georgia and talking about food traditions around the world, so we spoke about British recipes and butter being golden yellow on the Channel Islands due to the Guernsey cows. We also spoke about rationing during the World Wars. Please leave me a review and I will send you any other resource of your choice for free (contact me: office@oceansproject.com).

Reptiles: Slow Worm

Reptiles: Slow Worm

(0)
A colouring page I created for my biology and geography students as part of a module on habitats, ecology, reptiles, amphibians, and mammals. Based on the British slow worm. "The Anguis fragilis, or slow worm, is a limbless lizard native to Eurasia. It is sometimes called a blindworm. Its German name ‘Blindschleiche’ is derived from the Old High German plintslîcho meaning ‘blinding creeper’, perhaps because of its lustrous scales. Slow worms are semifossorial[1] (burrowing) lizards, spending much of the time hiding underneath objects. The skin of slow worms is smooth with scales that do not overlap one another. Like many other lizards, slow worms autotomize, meaning that they have the ability to shed their tails to escape predators. While the tail regrows, it does not reach its original length". (Wikipedia)

Blonde Hedgehogs in Britain

(0)
A colouring page that I created for my students about the blonde hedgehogs that live on the tiny British Channel Island of Alderney. Used for a discussion about wildlife conservation, environment, adaptation, journeys, habitat, and genetics. "Alderney’s most famous wildlife is the very unusual ‘Blonde Hedgehogs’ (They are actually leucistic). White hedgehogs are rare in Britain but around 25% of the hedgehogs on Alderney are white. There appears to be a dominant strain of leucistic hedgehogs on Alderney that produce an exceptionally high percentage of white animals. For some reason, the white hedgehogs don’t carry fleas, and there are no natural predators on the island, so the population is unusually high for such a small area. And being a small island, the strong leucistic gene remains prevalent in the population. There is a theory that one or more white hedgehogs were released here in the 1960s having been bought from Harrods!".

Coastal Defences: Geography

(0)
A colouring page that I created for my class as part of a module on coastal defence in Britain. The page shows the bricks on the harbour wall in Alderney, British Channel Islands. Could also be used for a lesson on materials and properties or engineering. “Braye Harbour (also known as Alderney Harbour) is the main harbour on the north side of the Island of Alderney, in the Channel Islands, a dependency of the British Crown. A 3,000 feet (910 m) break-water built by the Admiralty to protect the Navy in the 19th century shelters Braye Harbour.[1][2][3] It is an artificial harbour created by building a pier or jetty. The harbour faces out onto the Swinge, which is part of the English Channel. It is here that most of the island’s freight comes in. It is more or less a suburb of St Anne, which is a large settlement in Alderney that juts out on a rocky promontory on the west side, approximately 1 mile from the harbour”. (Wikipedia)

Volcanoes: Make a Volcano

(0)
A hand drawn activity worksheet that I created for my geography students (of all ages) in the former Soviet Republic of Georgia. The activity was to make a volcano and a fact sheet about volcanoes in a group or on their own for their homework. There was a prize for the best ones, and we invited the rest of the school to come and see them in action. It went down very well indeed! It was a great way to finish off the term, with a fun activity after studying tectonics all year.

Plate Tectonics: Hot Chocolate Fun

(0)
A fun and tasty activity to help students understand plate tectonics and convection currents. Created as a homework activity for my Key Stage 3 and iGCSE geography students in the former Soviet Republic of Georgia, who had English as a foreign language. Younger students may require supervision when making their hot chocolate. Could be a nice activity to do in class, or to cheer up their revision sessions. The worksheet is hand drawn.

What is a Gannet? Ecology and Biology: Seabirds

(0)
This is a YouTube video and a PDF download about the Northern Gannets which live on Gannet Rock on the British Channel Island of Alderney. During World War II, in 1940 there was just one pair of gannets on the rock, but with the Nazis on the island and the local people evacuated to the mainland, fishing declined and so the gannets flourished. You can track the gannets migration pattern online too!

Gas Exchange: Do Fish Fart?

(0)
A fun but educational look at the important question of ‘do fish fart’. This is a free PDF document, and a YouTube video. A great resource for World Oceans Day, and for exploring topics such as gas exchange, oceans, the human body (why we fart), communication, species, herring fish, and people who use the sea for transport. Could also be used for students with English as a foreign language, or for homeschooling.
