develop understanding of the nature, processes and methods of science through different types of science enquiries that help them to answer scientific questions about the world around them Hooks are always a must. Bags, coats, magnifying glasses, pencils… children can hang equipment up before heading to inspect their 'Bug Pods'. Once their pods are full and the insects have moved in, children are able to investigate, observe and identify what is living in their hotel through the clear pod. During development, we gained invaluable input and information from educational experts, teachers and bug specialistswho opened our eyes to many new ideas.

This is the perfect addition to any outdoor school playground or nature corner, where children can discover the natural world in a fun and unique way. I can identify and classify examples of living things, past and present, to help me appreciate their diversity. I can relate physical and behavioural characteristics to their survival or extinction.

This Science primary resource assists with teaching the following Key Stage 1 Science (Year 1) objectives from the National Curriculum: identify that most living things live in habitats to which they are suited and describe how different habitats provide for the basic needs of different kinds of animals and plants, and how they depend on each other

Pupils should compare animals in familiar habitats with animals found in less familiar habitats, for example, on the seashore, in woodland, in the ocean, in the rainforest. I understand how animal and plant species depend on each other and how living things are adapted for survival. I can predict the impact of population growth and natural hazards on biodiversity This primary resource assists with covering the following Expressive Arts Early level objectives from the Scottish Curriculum for Excellence: Kids who love creepy critters can turn their fascination with insects into a hobby with the Bug Playground. Collect cool bugs, then observe them on their own tiny playground: Go on a bug-collecting adventure, then bring your critters inside to watch them navigate the mini play structures as you learn about nature

Catch, observe, and release tiny critters with this adorable playground designedjust for bugs. Watch your bugs summit the climbing wall, swim in the pool, and whoosh! go down the slide! This primary resource assists with covering the following Art and Design aims of the National Curriculum: Children can plant a selection of seeds and watch as their plants and flowers begin to grow... a fantastic way to introduce children to the plant lifecycle. From herbs, lavender or even vegetables; children can choose to create a sensory garden, a vegetable garden or even a garden which will attract Bees and Butterflies.
