Animal behaviour is an inherently fascinating subject that helps students make sense of the natural world — and of themselves. From communication and courtship to cooperation, learning and survival, students instinctively connect their own experiences with the behaviour of other animals, whether wild or domestic.
As Education Officer for The Association for the Study of Animal Behaviour and an experienced classroom teacher, I will showcase a range of free, classroom-ready resources and practical activities designed to support teachers in delivering specification content through engaging examples from animal behaviour.
This interactive session will provide delegates with adaptable strategies, discussion ideas and active-learning approaches suitable for a wide range of ages and abilities, from primary through to A level.
This session is ideal for teachers looking for practical, memorable and enjoyable ways to teach biology content, particularly early-career teachers or non-specialists seeking fresh approaches. Activities and resources suitable for primary, secondary and post-16 teaching will be included throughout.
