Please remember to bring containers for Monday's playground minibeast hunt. Check out with your science group who will bring what, so that you are ready to go. If you have a magnifying glass or bug container with a magnifying panel, that would be really handy. I wonder what minibeasts live in the school environment? What are you expecting to find?
Have a look at this site to design your own minibeast with super powers. "Super Bugs Mission"
http://www.mylearning.org/minibeasts Some excellent scientific words on this site that you can add to your glossary about minibeasts. The science skill of understanding and using scientific language. These will be words that can be used in your report writing. View all the choices for each part of this challenge - there is heaps of information on which to base a report.
Some other sites where interesting research can be done.
