(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.

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!

Genetics: Biology: Can Lobsters Live Forever?

A more technical resource than my usual ones, but I hope it will bring genetics to life in a more interesting way for students who are passionate about the wider world, oceans, animals, natural sciences, and marine biology. Would make a great addition to World Oceans Day topics, as well as science, English as a foreign language, and the human life cycle. Or just for fun.

Geography: Oceans (How many oceans are there on Earth?)

(0)
How many oceans are there on planet Earth? There are five oceans in the world, from biggest to smallest they are: the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, the Indian Ocean, the Southern (Antarctic) Ocean, and the Arctic Ocean. The waters of the oceans mix together thanks to the movement of currents which create the World (global) ocean. About 71% of the planet’s surface is covered with our oceans. What is the difference between an ocean and a sea? An ocean is larger than the sea, and is not surrounded by land in the same way as a sea is, for example, the Baltic Sea or the Black Sea.
