Titled Maui’s Dolphin - An Inquiry to Action, the resource is aimed for mid-level primary school, though can be adapted to suit all ages.  Inquiry learning is an approach popular with teachers leading to open ended learning, and in a conservation context, student led action for change.  The resource can be downloaded for free as a PDF and includes links to online short films and animation clips that will appeal to children.
