Mammals (BBC, 2024) - Episode 1: Dark

This worksheet accompanies "Dark," the opening episode of the BBC's 2024 series Mammals narrated by David Attenborough. Fifteen fill-in-the-blank questions follow the episode in order as it explores how mammals have adapted to live and hunt at night, from lions coordinating in near-total darkness to the surprising senses animals use when sight is no longer enough. Students write as they watch, which keeps attention on the screen and produces a clean record of the episode's main ideas for later review. The single page covers nocturnal adaptation, predator-prey dynamics, and the environmental pressures shaping mammal behavior, making it useful in life science, environmental science, and general biology. A complete answer key is included on the final page, so it is ready for a regular class, a planned absence, or a homeschool session with no preparation. Clean, low-ink layout designed to print two-sided. A practical, classroom-tested way to make a documentary period count.
