Session synopsis
Enter the magical miniature world of minibeasts in this fun and practical session. Explore park habitats and identify, name and classify the invertebrates found in them. Consider the roles invertebrates play in food chains, pollination and recycling – and observe some of them in action!
What
Our full or half day KS1/KS2 sessions cover invertebrate classification, habitats and the important roles invertebrates play in them. These sessions are delivered by experienced, DBS checked, first aid trained environmental educators with LOTC quality badges.
