Caring for minibeasts
照料小型无脊椎动物
Description
Caring for minibeasts: observing minibeasts gently, handling them carefully, putting them back where you found them. Why minibeasts matter — they help gardens grow, break down dead leaves, and feed other animals.
Mastery Evidence
- Demonstrate careful handling of a minibeast such as letting a woodlouse walk onto a hand rather than grabbing it
- Explain one reason why minibeasts are important, such as bees helping flowers grow or worms helping soil
- State that minibeasts should be returned to where they were found after observing them
Assessment Prompt
When your child finds a minibeast, do they handle it gently and put it back — and can they tell you why minibeasts are important for the garden?
