Today's Lesson
Main Activity
Give your student some time to create their Woodlice Video Diary. Remind your student to concentrate on what the woodlice are doing, where most of them are settled, what they seem to be eating and anything else that surprises them.
Extra Challenge
As an extension, students could design on paper a woodlice city, bearing in mind the habitat features they prefer.
Apply
To finish, ask your student what our observations tell us about where woodlice like to live? How could we use our knowledge to encourage woodlice to live in our garden or outdoor space?
Ask: ‘Do woodlice make good pets? Why? Why not?’
