<p>This KS1 microhabitats (or micro-habitats) activity is a fun way for children to explore where minibeasts would like within a garden. They’ll also think about why different minibeasts prefer different microhabitats.</p> <p>Use this resource to support a year 2 science lesson about local habitats/microhabitats or before exploring the microhabitats in your school grounds.</p> <p><strong>This resource includes:</strong></p> <ul> <li>A3 printable garden (with and without microhabitat labels)</li> <li>A4 printable garden (with and without microhabitat labels)</li> <li>12 common minibeasts to place in the garden</li> <li>Minibeast ID sheet</li> <li>Guidance notes on how the resource could be used, including follow up questions to explore together.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Primary science link:</strong></p> <ul> <li>identify that most living things live in habitats to which they are suited and describe how different habitats provide for the basic needs of different kinds of animals and<br /> plants, and how they depend on each other</li> <li>identify and name a variety of plants and animals in their habitats, including micro-habitats</li> </ul>

This unit looks at minibeasts and may be useful either prior to embarking on work of a practical nature or after a practical session collecting and observing bugs. This activity should not replace the practical task of collecting bugs. The thrill pupils have in first hand observations of live creatures cannot be replicated on a whiteboard screen. Using the resources in this pack, pupils will learn about: * different kinds of animals in the local environment * that animals can be grouped according to observable similarities and differences

<p>This A4 colourful chart is designed to enable children (from age 5 upwards) and beginners to identify the invertebrates commonly found in a garden or outdoor space.</p> <p>The simple flow chart on this guide shows representatives of the main groups found in a garden or outdoor space. These include animals with no legs, such as snails, slugs, earthworms, roundworms, insect and larvae. Plus the animals with jointed legs, such as crustaceans, insects, spiders and mites.</p> <p>The most simple ID key I’ve ever come across!</p>

A simple template to help year 3/2nd Grade (7-8 year-old children) focus their research and organize their findings from information books.

<p>A great whole class teaching activity or group activity – children use labels and pictures to sort minibeasts into insect or not insect, and match key features while cooperatively making decisions and discussing the different possibilities.</p> <p>Includes instructions, posters (text) to introduce Minibeasts, minibeasts pictures, group and features labels, recording worksheets and posters to check answers.</p> <p>Follow up activities – worksheets:<br /> • Complete a table, matching minibeasts with features and identifying if it is an insect or not<br /> • Identify insects and not insects by circling in different colours<br /> • Classification keys – use a series of questions to identify each minibeast<br /> • Complete a Venn Diagram – list key features to compare insects and not insects</p> <p>For more useful activities, please check other Minibeasts resources in my shop Marie’s Teaching Resources<br /> For updates go to my Facebook page – Marie’s Teaching Resources<br /> Thanks for looking :)</p>

<p>A great starter activity for KS1 when teaching mini beasts or insects in Science. Print this resource several times, laminate and cut up the photos and hide in a tray with shredded paper. Place a tray on each table and challenge the children to work together to place the photos they find on the correct name of each mini beast. The table to complete first is the winner!<br /> This resource is differentiated by having a brief description of some of the more difficult to identify mini beasts, such as distinguishing between the damselfly and the dragon fly, written on the card…</p>

<p>This is a good activity for working on minibeast vocabulary, especially for small group work with EAL or SEN children. There is a set of four lotto boards, with corresponding cards to cut out, and it can be laminated to make it more durable.</p>

<p>A lot of useful information about different and most common minibeasts – includes insects, arachnid, molluscs, crustacean, arthropods and annelid.<br /> A5 fact sheets (A4 folded back to back) for a Reading Corner, Topic Board, Writing Corner, Science Resources – or alternatively used as A4 posters.</p> <p>For more useful activities, please check other Minibeasts resources in my shop Marie’s Teaching Resources<br /> For updates go to my Facebook page – Marie’s Teaching Resources<br /> Thanks for looking :)</p>
