Learning about our site and the small invertebrates that live there is very important when understanding a microhabitat and this Wednesday it was Earth Day. In small groups, the boys carried out a survey looking at what minibeasts live on soft ground surfaces, hard man-made surfaces, and on plants. They carefully counted the number of different invertebrates they found. The data was kept for future reference. At the end of the session, we connected with the Earth, by placing a bare foot onto the ground and describing how it felt!
