Endangered Species Projects and Lessons for Kids

October 2, 2014 by kidworldcitizen 2 Comments

Focus: Endangered Primates

Interdisciplinary Unit Endangered Species- Kid World Citizen

Angelique Felix  asked bloggers to write a post about kids and animals for “World Animal Day” on October 4th. We are huge animal lovers in our house, and decided to share endangered species projects for kids.

Facts about Endangered Species

  • An endangered species is one whose numbers are so small that it is at risk of extinction.
  • A species is “endangered” or “threatened” when it is suffers: damage to its habitat; disease or predation of the species; and hazards to the continued life of the species.
  • Factors that threaten creature on Earth include deforestation, water scarcity, erosion, pollution, climate change, overfishing, oil and gas development, infrastructure, and illegal wildlife trade.
  • Around 50% of all endangered species live in the rainforest. The planet’s largest rainforest –The Amazon – lost more than 17% of its forest cover in the last century due to human activity.

Endangered Species Projects for Kids

Step 1. find out: what is an endangered species.

Use this simple power point to introduce the term “endangered species.”

STEP 2: Learn about a specific endangered species

We chose 3 endangered primates, from 3 different parts of the world:

Silky Sifaka Lemur (from Madagascar) Roloway Monkey (from Ghana) Cotton-Top Tamarin (from Colombia).

When I used this in my class, I made groups of 4-5 students to study each endangered primate. I researched and wrote reading passages (informational texts, aligned with Common Core- available here) about each of the endangered species. First, the kids read the passage about their primate to themselves. Next, they read it aloud in their small group, taking turns reading paragraphs while going around in the circle. Each group became “experts” on their specific endangered species.

An info grid (also available here ) is a visual organizer where students could fill out important information about their species. Later, during the presentations, students needed to listen to the information about the other species and fill in the remaining boxes in the info grid.

Students watched the following videos that gave more details on their endangered species. Videos are great when you can find animal scientists that are clear, and give detailed information for the kids. Since we couldn’t take a field trip to Colombia, Madagascar, or Ghana:), we especially loved being able to see the animals climbing around:

Cotton-Top Tamarin

Roloway monkey (also called “diana guenon”), silky sifaka, step 3: present the information.

Each child can take a couple of minutes to present the information that they learned about their endangered species- giving features about their habitat, food, characteristics, unique behaviors, their location (use a map!), and the biggest threat to their survival. After reading and watching videos, the kids really do feel like experts and enjoy sharing their knowledge. The other kids should pay attention to the presentation so they can fill in their info grids with the pertinent details.

Step 4: Take Action!

Kids might feel overwhelmed that they are unable to do anything to help (at least my kids did!). A major way to help endangered animals is to spread awareness. Students can take part in this by making posters and hanging them in school hallways, the public library, or even hanging in their rooms to show their friends—sharing what they’ve learned with everyone who walks by!

My sister is the phenomenal artist that hand-drew these coloring sheets of our endangered primates  for our posters.

Endangered Species Project Kids- Kid World Citizen

In the Endangered Primate Unit we also have an activity that looks at the problems (the reasons or threats to the endangered species), the reason behind the problem, and then the kids come up with an action that they can do as kids to help prevent it in the future.

This is a great way learn problem solving, in a meaningful lesson:

Kids Endangered Species Project- Kid World CItizen

Step 5: Endangered Species Art Project

After learning about their unique physical features, using a paper plate and the templates available here, we made these awesome endangered species masks with felt, fabric, and lots of soft feathers. Interdisciplinary units cross subjects areas and integrate a variety of skills: reading, science, art, oral presentation. I have seen that interdisciplinary lessons increase students’ success, interest, and make the unit more meaningful as it engages different intelligences across the same topic.

In the huge Endangered Primate Unit, I included additional exercises (and their answer keys) that include math, vocabulary, science, journal writing, cursive handwriting sheets, a webquest, and a geography mapping activity (most are Common Core-aligned):

  • Alphabetical Order Activity with Key Science Terms
  • Science Career Path Matching Game
  • Endangered Species Math Word Problem Worksheet
  • Estimating Fun! Math Worksheets (Numerical and Word Problems related to endangered species)
  • Endangered Species/Environmental Journal Prompts Printable
  • What Makes a Primate? Handwriting Sheets
  • Endangered Animal WebQuest
  • Mapping Endangered Primates Geography Activity

This endangered species animal list, with detailed information and photographs about locations, habitats, food, size, threats, and more. At Kids Planet,  there are also fact sheets on over 50 animals.

A  thorough list of endangered species is maintained by the WWF (World Wildlife Fund). It is astounding to read the actual numbers of animals left in the world of each species:

  • 30 Amur Leopards
  • Less than 35 Javan Rhinos
  • South China Tigers are believed to be extinct in the wild

Read the Top 20 Countries with the Most Endangered Species.  Led by Ecuador, the US, and Malaysia, this infographic is easy for kids to read and inspired my kids to find out more.

Possible Extension Activities

After the activities above, students can choose an endangered species they would like to learn more about.

1) Have students create a newspaper article about the endangered species of their choice. Include the following:

  • Explain why the species is in trouble
  • Describe it’s habitat, food sources, and predators
  • Write ideas of how people can help

2) Have students think of 20 key words related to their endangered species, including adjectives, nouns, and verbs. Using these words on Tagxedo Word Cloud Generator, students can make a word cloud all about their animal. These word clouds make a class display, and can also be shared on the class blog.

Endangered Species Projects

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Students enjoyed working on a new math assignment, “The Case of the Missing Monster Medicine” this morning. They were given ten monster suspects, five crime locations, and a puzzling storyline to read. After reviewing that information, students were challenged to use multiple-digit multiplication to practice and solve the mystery. We were all excited to find that it was Blobby Bob who stole Molly’s Monster Medicine and hid it in the Smelly Sewers!

In addition, fifth grade students have continued their, “Endangered or Extinct Species Project.” After reading and studying about endangered animals, students had the option to choose a “path” for this project which included:

Path 1. Choosing an animal that has become endangered or extinct and learning how its ecosystem has been affected.

Path 2. Choosing an animal that humans have brought back from near-extinction and discovering why the animal was almost extinct, what humans did to save it, and how bringing it back affected its ecosystem. 

After choosing a path, students picked an animal to study that fit under their path category, and then chose a project from the following list: stop motion video, short newspaper article, compare/contrast ecosystem drawings, Chatterpix (talking animal video), creating a brochure, or recording a short radio broadcast. 

We have a variety of student-led projects on endangered and extinct species in the works and are learning many research and critical thinking skills along the way!

We've had the fortune to receive support and creative advice from Tom Sachs for our organization. Tom's studio redid the Endangered Species Coalition logo. Tom chose the Navy's blue color, ensuring that the logo has longevity. He also feels it's important that the eagle be assertive, reflecting our group's grassroots mobilization approach. We love that our eagle logo is a symbol of the recovery of an iconic species and the success of the Endangered Species Act. And we're grateful to Tom and his studio for the support for imperiled wildlife.

Art Lesson Plan

(Lesson plan specifically designed to help students create their endangered species artwork and to enter the annual Endangered Species Day Youth Art Contest.)

  • A gallery of endangered species photos for teachers provided by ARKive

Unit Title: Endangered Species

Lesson Description: Students learn about actual and implied texture and printmaking techniques while creating mixed media endangered species artworks.  Students draw an endangered species in colored pencil, and then create a small 2 x 2 inch habitat print to stamp out a border on colored construction paper.  This lesson was created with middle school and high school students in mind, but can easily be adapted to elementary school students.

Adaptations if you don’t have printmaking supplies: Students can create the habitat border in oil pastels, markers, colored pencils or crayons.

Adaptations for elementary school: Teacher can choose 3 or 4 endangered species.  As a class, teacher can divide preliminary sketch paper into 3 or 4 sections and show students how to draw each species starting with basic shapes. Teacher can choose to have students just draw species’ faces.  (For example: the spotted owl can have a triangle beak with circle eyes, etc.)

Time Frame: 6-7 45 minute class periods

National Standards:

Visual Art Standard 1: Understanding and applying media, techniques, and processes

Visual Art Standard 3: Choosing and evaluating a range of subject matter, symbols, and ideas

Visual Art Standard 5: Reflecting upon and assessing the characteristics and merits of their work and the work of others

Visual Art Standard 6: Making connections between visual arts and other disciplines

Lesson Objectives:

  • Students will demonstrate knowledge of actual and implied texture.
  • Students will explore the work of master artist, Albrecht Dürer.
  • Students will become skilled in the use of relief printmaking techniques.
  • Students will use drawing techniques to create realistic colored pencil drawings of endangered species.
  • Students will evaluate each other’s work through a class critique.

Materials and Visuals Required:

  • texture worksheet
  • texture warm-up
  • im age of Albrecht Dürer’s Rhinoceros woodcut, 1515
  • enough texture samples for every student (sand paper, bubble wrap, feather, cotton ball, pieces of crumpled paper bag, corrugated cardboard, pieces of sponge, bark, shell, rock, rope, burlap, dried leaves, carpet scraps, etc.)
  • grab bag or box to hold samples
  • 9 x 12 drawing final paper
  • paper for preliminary sketches
  • colored pencils
  • LCD or overhead projector to display Dürer’s Rhinoceros

  • 2 x 2 inch squares of paper for drawing habitat

Lesson Sequence:

Description:

1.     Have students choose from the grab bag as they enter the class and follow the directions on the “Texture Warm Up”.

2.     Teacher has students turn in texture samples and warm-up (to be used for teacher as a pre-assessment of students’ understanding of texture).  Teacher asks for definitions of texture and compiles a list on the board of descriptive texture words used in warm-up as well as called out by students.  Teacher explains actual versus implied texture and gives examples.

woodcut (for more information: https://www.britishmuseum.org/explore/highlights/highlight_objects/pd/a/albrecht_d%C3%BCrers_rhinoceros.aspx ).  Students identify different textures on the rhinoceros.  Teacher has a student pass out the texture worksheet.  Teacher gives a demonstration as to how to fill out worksheet.

4.     Students fill in texture boxes.  After filling in boxes individually, students are encouraged to share their results with partners in order to see different examples to ensure all boxes are filled.

5.     Teacher talks about how various types of rhino species are endangered.  (To learn more go to: https://www.rhinos-irf.org/rhinos/ ).  Teacher talks about what endangered species means and how there are hundreds of endangered species in the United States as well.

6.     *If teacher has computer hooked up to LCD projector, class can look up certain endangered U.S. species here:  http://endangered.org/endangered-species/ or they can look up the species that are endangered in their state here: https://www.fws.gov/endangered/

Assessment :

  • Texture warm up and worksheet.
  • Class discussion on Albrecht Dürer.
  • image of Albrecht Dürer’s Rhinoceros woodcut, 1515 (see resources below)
  • computer with access to internet
  • https://www.britishmuseum.org/explore/highlights/highlight_objects/pd/a/albrecht_d%C3%BCrers_rhinoceros.aspx
  • http://endangered.org/endangered-species/
  • https://www.fws.gov/endangered/
  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:D%C3%BCrer_rhino_full.png
  • Texture warm ups (enough for entire class)
  • Texture worksheet (enough for entire class)

Lesson 2 (2-3 class periods):

1.     Teacher reviews with class actual and implied texture.  Students recall various endangered species in the United States.  Teacher introduces Endangered Species Day art contest.  Teacher passes out endangered species packets with a list of species along with images of the species.

2.     Teacher explains that students will do a drawing of an endangered species surrounded by a printed border.  Teacher demonstrates how students choose two species and create a preliminary sketch of each.  They can then choose the one that they drew the best to redraw for their final work of art.

3.     Teacher shows students how to use a ruler to measure out 2 inch border around the edge of their drawing paper. Teacher demonstrates how to draw species beginning with basic shapes, going over with contour lines, and adding value, color and texture.

4.     Students spend class time drawing species using packets, internet or books with endangered species images as a resource.  Once they have done their preliminary drawings, they show them to the teacher to get their final drawing paper.

5.     Teacher can choose to have students draw only in pencil or colored pencil.

  • Students will use drawing techniques to create realistic pencil drawings of endangered species.
  • Students’ drawings of endangered species.
  • Newsprint for preliminary sk e tches
  • 9×12 final drawing paper

1.     Teacher discusses the word habitat with the class.  Teacher explains how safeguarding a species’ habitat is vital to keeping that species from becoming endangered and/or extinct.

2.     Teacher demonstrates how to look up your species’ habitat in packet, online or in books and draw a small 2×2 inch drawing based on that habitat. (For example: the American Alligator lives in freshwater wetlands so its habitat drawing could be reeds of grass, cattails, or ripples of water).

3.     Teacher demonstrates how to transfer that drawing onto linoleum or Soft Kut by rubbing the back of the drawing onto the linoleum.

4.     Teacher demonstrates how to use gouges safely with a wooden stop in order to carve image of habitat into linoleum.

5.     Students draw habitat images and begin carving linoleum prints.

  • In-progress relief prints
  • 2 x 2 inch squares of paper
  • Endangered species books
  • https://www.stopextinction.org/species.html

Lesson 4 (2 days):

1.     Teacher demonstrates how to use linoleum in order to print images around the border of 9 x12 piece of construction paper.  (Teacher can set up colored ink stations.  Each station should have a different colored tube of printing ink, a brayer for rolling and either a plastic tray or a magazine page on which to roll out ink.  Stations can also have scratch paper on which to practice printing.)

2.     Once students have printed a complete border on the construction paper, they can cut out the endangered animal drawing and paste it inside the construction paper border.

3. Teacher stops class to pass out and explain critique sheets.  Teacher uses an example that they critique together as a class.  Students write their names where it says “Name of Artist” and place their drawing next to the critique sheet.  Then, they get up and find someone else’s sheet, put their names where it says “Name of Critic” and critique that student’s drawing.  This is a great thing to do before students have finished their artwork as it gives them suggestions as they are working on it.
