Beavers on Glow TV
 |
Rob Needham, the Scottish Beaver Trial's Field Officer, featured on Glow TV recently talking to school children about beavers. Click here to see the full video. You will be asked for your Glow login and then taken directly to the page of recordings that includes ‘The Beavers are Back’. Share this with your class and do let us know if you enjoy it! We hope to bring you more Beavers on Glow later in 2013. |
Information and resources for schools
In this section you will find downloadable resources to aid learning about the Scottish Beaver Trial. These range from writing newspaper reports to designing beaver habitats. There are plenty of activities to use which are suitable for a variety of different ages.
For each activity there is a teacher information sheet, student activity sheet and, where appropriate, an answer sheet. Alternatively, visit our kids' zone for loads of fun beaver activities.
