Lesson Overview
About this worksheet
An endangered species is a living thing at risk of dying out. This worksheet teaches what endangered and extinct mean, the causes of species loss – habitat loss, poaching, and pollution – and how conservation protects biodiversity.
Section A on page 1 gives eight clues, and students write the term each one describes. The reference box names and defines each term, so students have what they need to match.
Section B on page 2 asks what endangered means, two reasons a species becomes endangered, how endangered differs from extinct, and for an example of conservation. Page 3 is a complete answer key with sample answers. The worksheet pairs well with the Biomes and Food Web worksheets.
