Background
The term ‘minibeasts’ covers a wide range of small animal species including macroinvertebrates found in the Ecolinc wetland and compost minibeasts living in the Ecolinc compost bins.
Sampling and identifying minibeasts provides opportunities for students to observe a range of animal species, features, behaviours, habitat and dietary requirements and interrelationships.
Key Learning Question
How do we classify minibeasts and what do they need to survive?
