Check understanding
- Give at least two examples of animals that live in groups (e.g. wolves, ants, fish schools)
- Explain how group living provides survival advantages (protection, finding food, raising young)
- Construct a simple argument with evidence for why a specific animal benefits from group behaviour
“Can your child explain why wolves hunt in packs or why fish swim in schools, and how being in a group helps them survive?”
