Here is the work sheet that goes with the lesson!

Grade: Grade 2 Subject: Science – Animal Extinction 
Content: This Science activity shows how endangered animals affect the food web. To start the class, I would explain endangered animals and extinct animals through a short class discussion. Then I would play a quick video  Next each student would get a copy of the above handout. They will start by choosing one animal and placing an X over it.  The students will then fill out a couple of the questions about the animal they choose. Next they will draw a picture of the animal they choose. Lastly, they will use resources to answer the “If your animal where to go extinct what would the effects be?” They will have a choice to use library books or laptop/tablets as there resource.
Outcomes and Indicators:
AN2.1: Analyze the growth and development of familiar animals, including birds, fish, insects, reptiles, amphibians, and mammals, during their life cycles. Indicators for this outcome
(B) (AN2.1)Use a variety of resources (e.g., Elder, naturalist, zookeeper, park warden, pet store, books, pictures, and videos) to find information about the life cycles of living things.
(D) (AN2.1)Recognize the cyclic nature of Mother Earth expressed by the Medicine Wheel, including life cycles and seasonal behaviours of animals.
(E) (AN2.1)Compare the length and stages of life cycles of familiar animals.
(F) (AN2.1)Describe the characteristics common to each stage (e.g., birth, youth, adulthood, and old age) of the life cycle of familiar animals (e.g., dog, cat, beaver, frog, fish, bird, ant, wasp, and chicken).
