Should wild animals perform in circus shows? Short scheme of work for KS3. Born Free Foundation.

(2)
A short unit of work designed for Key Stage 3 on wild animals performing in circuses. Each lesson is planned to take an hour, although there are plenty of opportunities to shorten or lengthen activities. This topic has many cross-curricular links, with strong links to the Science, English, Geography, SMSC and Citizenship curriculums. Lesson 1. Animal Adaptations To describe how different organisms are adapted to their environment To explain why organisms succeed best in their own natural environments Lesson 2. A day in the life of a tiger To compare the life of a tiger in the wild with one in a circus To write a diary entry entitled ‘A day in the life of a tiger’. Lesson 3. Should all wild animals in circuses be banned? To understand the arguments for and against banning wild animals in circuses To form an opinion To write a persuasive letter. Context: Globally, thousands of wild animals are used in circuses and forced to perform demeaning and unnatural tricks to entertain the public. The welfare of both domesticated and wild animals are often severely compromised in a circus environment. Born Free is wholly opposed to the use of wild animals in circuses and considers the practice to be unethical. There is overwhelming evidence of compromised animal welfare in the circus environment. Born Free works across the UK and Europe to bring an end to the use of wild animals in circuses and supports international campaign partners in their efforts. Where possible, Born Free rescues animals from appalling conditions in circuses. Over the years we have rescued and rehomed several big cats from circuses in France, Bulgaria, Italy and Germany. We provide them with high standard lifetime care in sanctuaries. However, these are the lucky ones. If you find these resources useful, please leave a review.

Is Wildlife Vital In Our Fight Against Climate Change? Born Free's Great Debate For KS2

Is Wildlife Vital In Our Fight Against Climate Change? Born Free's Great Debate For KS2

(1)
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 – 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.

Decision Making Exercise – Should animals have the same rights as humans?

(0)
This workshop uses the true story of Pole Pole the elephant to encourage pupils to consider if animals should be given the same rights as humans. Pupils work in small groups to represent the three main stakeholders (a UK zoo, an African government and Pole Pole) involved in bringing Pole Pole from Africa to the UK. Each group gives their views in a debate/discussion and the pupils can then vote whether she should stay in Africa or go to the zoo. The real story is then told and pupils are encouraged to think about the feelings of animals in zoos. These resources are designed for Key Stage 2 but they can easily be adapted for all Key Stages. This workshop is planned to take approximately two hours, or can be taken as either one or two sessions. This topic has many cross-curricular links that are highlighted below, with strong links to the Science, English, Geography, SMSC and Citizenship curriculums.
