CONCEPTUAL
ScienceInsects & Minibeasts|Ages 5—7|ID: mt__7hXSTbu9s

How minibeasts move: crawling (ants, beetles), flying (butterflies, bees), slithering (worms, slugs), jumping (grasshoppers, fleas), burrowing (earthworms). Counting legs as a first step toward grouping creatures.

Mastery Evidence

  • Describe at least three different ways minibeasts move such as crawling, flying, and slithering
  • Match a minibeast to its way of moving, for example grasshoppers jump and worms slither
  • Count legs on a minibeast and notice that ants have six while spiders have eight

Assessment Prompt

“Can [child] watch a few minibeasts and describe how each one moves differently — like ants crawling, butterflies flying, and worms wriggling?”
