Lesson Objective – To explore and investigate the native environment, categorizing characteristics of a successful habitat for a mini-beast.
To start the lesson, students will contribute in an investigative task identifying physical characteristics of a successful habitat. Students will list the best areas that they believe a mini-beast will live. Following, students will then conduct their mini-beast hunt in the local school environment (Discuss the environment and what they discovered). Students are to create a list of the mini-beasts they discovered in the school yard.

Afterwards, students will make their own mini-beast role-play mask (Ant, Bee, Butterfly, Earwig, Grasshopper, Housefly, Ladybird, Snail, Spider and a Woodlouse). Students will then ‘role-play’ their mini-beast to the class, stating one good thing about their mini-beast and one bad thing.
Question – What is the best environment for your mini-beast? Why are mini-beasts important, essential and necessary parts of our ecosystem?
