Create a map of local flora and fauna

This resource combines understanding of the natural world with maths skills, to create a map and guidebook of the local flora and fauna. In this activity learners will work together to gather information about local flora and fauna. They will create a map with coordinates showing the location of plants and animals, which they can then assemble as a class to form a guidebook to the local area. Within this, they will take actual measurements of the area during the practical activity and work to scale on grid paper. They will also use digital photographs or drawings of flora and fauna to create information pages that could go into a class guidebook.
