Show the amazing animals and plants of the African savanna with our paper model!
The African Savanna (or Savannah) is a tropical grassland that supports the greatest diversity of large mammals on the planet! Predators such as lions, cheetahs, leopards and hyena hunt and kill many thousands of zebra, wildebeest and gazelles every year. The savanna of the Serengeti also hosts the movement of 2 million herbivores every year in the Great Migration.
Our model shows some of the biodiversity in the African savanna, their adaptations, their interactions and how they depend upon one another for survival.

First, your students make their model using the colourful parts. Then, they use it to look at how organisms are adapted to survive in a African savanna. Next, they learn about ecosystems, habitats, consumers and producers, food chains, food webs and energy pyramids for this ecosystem.
Plants & animals modelled include: lions, leopards, cheetahs, spotted hyena, Nile crocodiles, African elephant, blue wildebeest (gnu), plains zebra, white rhino, giraffes, hippo, umbrella thorn, wild date palm, sausage tree and more!
Includes colourful classroom Powerpoint presentation!
Takes 15-20 minutes for a group of 4 students to make the model.
