Outdoor Learning

We carried out an experiment to see which kind of material minibeasts would like best for their home. Last week we placed squares of six different materials ( wood, stone, glass, red felt, clear plastic and black plastic) on the ground in Victoria's Garden and left them for a week.

On Thursday we went back to Victoria's Garden to lift the material and count how many minibeasts were under each square.  We found out that most minibeasts were under the wood, stone and black plastic.  There were no minibeasts under the glass!  We think that minibeasts like dark places best.
