Crash: A Tale of Two Species - Teacher's Guide
Introduction
This Teacher's Guide accompanies the NATURE program
Crash: A Tale of Two Species. The program looks at the interconnection between two very different animals -- the horseshoe crab and the red knot -- and the threats to their survival.
Lessons in the guide use the programs as a starting point for discussions and activities that focus on adaptations that help these animals survive, the ways that human activity can endanger different species, and the varieties of wildlife in your own community. This guide includes teacher's pages and student activity masters that can be used with the program. Please photocopy the pages and hand them out to students in class.
