Mini-Beasts

Delve into the world of fangs, fur, and freaky faces during this 1-hour interactive learning experience. An Inspired Educator will guide your group of learners through the fascinating, sometimes unnoticed, miniature world that surrounds us each day.

The session includes an opportunity to discover the mini-beasts in your local setting. Themes explored include mini-beast physical features, how mini-beasts affect us, why we need them and their role in the environment.

Create your own mini-beast and predict what it might look like under the microscope.

Get up close to these fascinating creepy crawlies in a way you never imagined possible!

This session relates to Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) within the Australian Curriculum and the Cross-curriculum priority, Sustainability.
