Whole school shows

Habitats & adaptations

Join us as we explore some of the awesome adaptations that help animals to thrive in their habitats, and think about what might happen if those habitats disappeared.

Preventing extinction

Join us as we discover some endangered animals, and find out what’s happening to them in the wild.

Build your own zoo

Using artefacts and activities, we’ll explore the role of zoos, the habitat and nutrition the animals need, and some of the different careers within the zoo. 

Classroom workshops

Mini-beasts

Why are mini-beasts so important? We will be finding out about many of our smallest creatures in the world, and why they are so important to our planet.

Africa

Using artefacts and fun activities we will explore this vast continent. We will look at why some species are threatened with extinction and what Chester zoo is doing to help them.

Rainforests

Why are rainforests so famous for their biodiversity? Why is deforestation happening and what can we do to protect this precious, complex habitat?

How can we be sustainable?

Through fun activities and discussions we share ways that we can all become more sustainable and help the natural world which is facing extreme pressures.
