We've assembled the best creature clips from across the 大象传媒 to excite pupils about the animal kingdom, from the smallest fish to the tallest giraffes.
These short films introduce topics such as adaptation, variation, habitat and food chains at an accessible level. Each page contains multiple short, useful videos, including notes for the primary science curriculum and teaching ideas for the classroom.
These clips are suitable for use when teaching Science at Key Stage 1 in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, and at first level in Scotland.
Some of these clips are from the 大象传媒 series, Our Planet.
