Connect your curriculum teaching on habitats to engaging sustainability contexts. This topic web suggests classroom activities linked to increasing biodiversity and protecting marine habitats.

How can we encourage bee populations to grow? How can we protect our oceans? This topic web contains sustainability context ideas and classroom activity suggestions for teaching about living things and their habitats to 4–7 year olds. Explore what type of plants attract pollinating insects, or research the ideal habitat for sea turtles and what threats they face.

Each web explains the background science, describes how scientists are working in this field, and suggests ways to explore this in the classroom.
