Minibeast Habitats
CONCEPTUALWhere minibeasts live: micro-habitats. Different minibeasts prefer different conditions — under logs (damp, dark), in soil (underground), on leaves (sunny), in pond water (wet). The idea that you find different creatures in different places.
Mastery Evidence
- Name at least two micro-habitats where minibeasts live such as under logs, in soil, or on leaves
- Predict what type of minibeast might be found in a damp dark place versus a sunny leaf
- Explain that different minibeasts prefer different conditions like wet, dry, dark, or light
Assessment Prompt
“If you asked [child] where to look for woodlice or worms in the garden, could they tell you the kind of spot those creatures prefer — like somewhere damp and dark?”
