It’s 3005 and Earth is now a lifeless planet. Humans have moved to a new planet called Earth II and want to create a virtual reality zoo that contains all the life that lived on Earth. Your mission, Operation Minibeast, is to travel back in time and using maps explore five different habitats in order to collect information about and scan images of different minibeasts. You will be able to view close-up photographs and illustrations, andaccess a database, a branching database and field book containing detailed notes about each minibeast you encounter.
- A fascinating context to engage and motivate young learners - Five habitat areas to explore - Two activity types – Seek and Scan and Data Capture - Realistic maps - Viewer tool that enables pupils to scan in the image of a selected minibeast
Contents
- Observe similarities and differences in and recognise simple characteristics of animals and plants - Make predictions about animals and plants found in different habitats - Identify how plants and animals in local environments are similar to each other in some ways, different in others - Learn about how animals are suited to the environments in which they are found
- Understand that living things can be grouped according to observable similarities and differences
- Group organisms according to observable features - Use keys to identify locals plants / animals - Find information in a simple computer database - Use a branching database to help them identify minibeasts - Use a computer simulation to identify relationships
