Ever wonder how many different species scientists have identified on Earth? These species – and those still unidentified – make up Earth’s biodiversity, the variety of life throughout the planet. Everyone can be part of protecting biodiversity, from planting a garden of native plants to volunteering in the community or supporting conservation organizations. A great way to begin is to build knowledge about the captivating wildlife throughout our ecosystems and what they need to thrive.
To help learners explore these natural wonders, we’re introducing a new collection of kahoots all about wildlife and biodiversity, designed for students aged 8 and older. This collection is launched together with Conservation Nation Academy, a set of free, ready-to-teach lessons featuring conservation champions from around the world. With these kahoots, learners can discover more about our amazing planet and the species who call it home.
Think like a scientist and test your wildlife knowledge!
Every lesson from Conservation Nation Academy is created to align with Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), making them a great addition to science curricula. As a one-stop toolkit, each lesson includes a video, a lesson plan in English and Spanish, a pre-read article, classroom activities, and more. Now, this collection of kahoots adds even more engagement and interactivity, creating exciting learning experiences that spark active participation.
Play these kahoots to extend and reinforce learning from lessons on wolves, birds, manatees, and insects, as well as how scientists use genetics to protect species. Learn about these species’ habitats and behavior, why they’re important parts of their ecosystems, and how human actions can impact their populations. By playing these kahoots, learners can even explore careers in conservation, with inspiring examples of real conservation advocates from diverse backgrounds.
