When doing talks to kids of that age, you'll find girl and boy questions are very different.
I used to sit in a little hut and dole out info about the PA elk.
Girls are all about baby elk. They want to know the where's, when's, and how's. Have a quick reference there for when certain critters have their babies. How long they're pregnant for, etc, etc.
Boys.... Well boys are mainly into poop, pee, and hunting. If you can get your hands on a scat pamphlet to show the difference between coon poop and coyote poop.
Don't be surprised at the questions they can come up with.
If parents are going to be present, the questions will get more in depth. The adult may want to ask a question, but are too embarrassed to ask. So they'll get the kid to ask it. You'll figure it out real quick when they ask their question. Agreed!

Be prepared for some parent questions as well. Try to not get into the too defensives trap.
