Right whales and people
http://www.nationalgeographic.com/xpeditions/lessons/14/gk2/rightpeople.html
A lesson plan for grade K Science
In this lesson from Xpeditions, students will learn about the highly endangered northern right whale and think about how this species’ geographical distribution places it in direct contact with human threats such as ships. Students will draw pictures of right whales and add commercial ships and other human activities to their drawings. They will conclude by writing sentences explaining how the whales they have drawn might be affected by the human activities and what might be done to help the whales.
