Visit a British woodland ecosystem with our paper model!
British woodlands are a beautiful feature of the countryside that are home to many species of plants and animals.
Our model shows some of the biodiversity in a British broadleaf woodland, 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 woodland. Next, they learn about ecosystems, habitats, consumers and producers, food chains, food webs and energy pyramids for this ecosystem. The impact of invasive species is also considered.
Plants & animals modelled include: badger, roe deer, fox, tawny owl, weasel, bullfinch, great spotted woodpecker, yellow-necked mouse, bank vole, painted lady butterfly, brown long-eared bat, jay, oak, beech, ash, birch, hazel, bluebell, foxglove, snowdrop, deadly nightshade, bracken and more!
