This activity is great to get your children active and learning about coordinates while developing basic mapping skills. They also get to eat chocolate!
For this activity to work you need to go onto Google Maps Satellite (or similar) and zoom into your school or grounds that you want to use. Print screen the page, paste it onto a document, change the size so that it fits into half an A4 page and then print enough for your class. The students will cut and stick the bird’s eye view of the grounds onto their sheet before drawing the coordinate grid lines over the top.
Before the lesson you’ll need to buy the correct amount of small eggs for your class (5 per child). You can also get the students to initial each egg (or another way to identify) so they don’t collect the wrong ones! Once the students have hidden the eggs and filled in the coordinates they can swap sheets with a partner and go on the egg hunt.

The insect trap investigation gets students looking closely at all the amazing creepy crawlies that can be found in your outdoor space by creating small traps. It’s great if you’re looking at living things, habitats, or data handling as well as developing key investigation skills.
**Ages 4 - 6: **Students will set the traps and observe what they collect. At this age it’s great for them to explore the wildlife, talking about their looks, how they move, key features, and other general observations. Once they’ve had time to study what they’ve trapped they can compete the observation sheet where they’ll draw what they’ve collected.
**Ages 7 - 9 & 10 - 12: **Students will set the traps and wait to see what crawls inside (checking each day for a few days. They’ll identify the creatures and record their results on the results table. They can then use their results to create a bar graph of their findings (you can choose to accumulate all the results or just use individuals). After that, get them to complete the evaluation question sheets which will encourage them to think about how successful their traps were and the reasons behind their results.
