Penguin Food Web

An interactive game that highlights the relationships between various species in a food web. Cards show producers, primary and secondary consumers. There is also an additional set of threat cards that will illustrate what happens when any individual species in the web declines and how many threats would affect all the species in the ecosystem. This game can be used in a school classroom, outside in the school grounds or at a zoo.

Rockhopper Penguin Conservation - Project Pinnamin

(0)
This resource is a real life example of a penguin conservation project that is being run with RZSS and multiple other international conservation organisations. The resource has students think about species conservation in relation to working with local people and having sympathy for cultural traditions. The activity is interactive in the sense that students get to choose which eggs will get harvested and which will not. They will have a chance to look at the maths behind this exercise to achieve a greater understanding on why and how this could be a possible solution that would be acceptable for the conservation of the species as well as benefit the local human population of less than 300 people. Who its for: Secondary and Tertiary students in a classroom or zoo setting. Further information is included in the synopsis document.
