Overview
Pupils will examine how living things are suited to their habitats and are thus at risk when habitat is lost.

By the end of the lessons pupils will:
- Understand the term habitat;
- Identify habitats in the UK and animals which are suited to them;
- Understand the effects of habitat loss;
- Get involved in local habitat renewal.
