Who lives where? Garden microhabitat activity An activity where children arrange minibeasts into the garden micro-habitats they would live in. This resource includes: A3 printable garden (with and without microhabitat labels) A4 printable garden (with and without microhabitat labels) 12 common minibeasts to place in the garden Minibeast ID sheet Guidance notes on how the resource could be used, including follow up questions to explore together. Microhabitat foldable craft A fun craft activity for younger pupils, designed to get them thinking about microhabitats and the animals that live there. This resource is a 6 page PDF. It looks at 3 microhabitats; a rockpool, under leaves and a flower bed. There are 2 templates for each microhabitat so they can either colour the animals already included or research and draw their own. Print on A4 paper or card. Once they have coloured a template, children can cut it out and fold using the instructions provided. Some children may need assistance with this part and it’s a good idea to have a pre-made example. Once folded, they can then ‘hide’ the animals away by closing the template, and then pull it gently apart to reveal what’s inside.

These fun foldouts are a memorable way of teaching the planets in our solar system and the phases of the moon. Use as a science centre, for an interactive notebook or to support learning/lessons around space, including World Space Week. Sequencing the planets There are 3 similar template options to choose from: Students colour the template with the planets in order (from nearest to the sun to furthest away). They also colour the 2 halves of the space scene. They then cut out the template and space scene, glue the space scene to the top and bottom of the template, then fold. The second option is the same, but students will cut out and order the planets before gluing and folding. For the third option, students match simple facts to each of the planets before cutting and folding. Phases of the moon This printable activity has 4 options for you to choose from so that you can best match the needs of your students: Template 1: Colour the phases of the moon, cut, glue and fold. Template 2 (print in colour): Identify the phases of the moon, write them on the template, glue, cut and fold. Template 3: Colour the phases of the moon, sequence them on the template, glue, cut and fold. There are 2 label options for this template - one has the letter ‘b’ on the phases of the moon to show students which part to colour black. Template 4: Colour the phases of the moon, cut and sequence them, write the names of each stage, glue, cut and fold. The phases of the moon include the letter ‘b’ to show which part to colour black.
