Science - Microhabitats

Date: 26th Jun 2024 @ 11:41pm

Our science work has led us outside to explore the mircohabitas in our school grounds.  The plants around the shed, the wooden sculptures in the bog garden, under tree stumps in our forest school area and the trunk of a tree.

We found a collection of worms, slugs, woodlice and beetles.  We have also gently collected some woodlice to find out what conditions they like to live in.  We places them in a container which was divided inot 4 different conditions, dark and dry, dark and damp, bright and dry, bright and damp.   The woodlice quickly moved into the dark area, there were more woodlice in the damp area than the dry area.
