Minibeast

Overview

This course explores the vital role invertebrates play in our world. They may be small, but life on Earth simply couldn’t survive without them!

Pupils will discover how every creature — no matter how tiny — has an important part to play in nature’s balance. Through hands-on learning and close encounters, they’ll meet a fascinating range of invertebrates, including millipedes, scorpions, spiders, and many more curious crawlies.

By the end of the course, pupils will gain a deeper appreciation for these incredible animals and the essential jobs they perform in keeping our planet healthy.
