Teach Your Young Pupils About Amphibians and Reptiles with Resources Aligned to the Scottish Curriculum

ARC and Scottish Education

Amphibians and reptiles play a crucial role in Scotland's ecosystems, and educating young learners about these fascinating creatures helps foster a deeper understanding of biodiversity and conservation. Our curriculum-aligned resources are designed to support educators in delivering engaging and informative lessons on amphibians and reptiles, tailored to the Scottish Curriculum for Excellence.

These resources are part of our commitment through the SSAAR (Saving Scotland's Amphibians and Reptiles) initiative, which aims to protect and raise awareness about Scotland’s native species. By incorporating SSAAR resources into your teaching, you can inspire your students to appreciate and protect these vital animals, while meeting curriculum goals in science, environmental studies, and beyond.

Year Groups

To help you find the most suitable resources for your classroom, we've organised our materials according to the Scottish Curriculum year groups. Each section contains tailored activities, lesson plans, and educational tools designed to engage students at their respective learning stages.
