Garden Biodiversity Map
Read, think, write, solve and play. Try your own answer before checking. You can have another go.
LEARN & PRACTISE
Word explorer
Read each word. Look for parts you know. Type each word to practise its spelling.
READ & UNDERSTAND
Reading detective
The school garden has flowering plants, logs and a small pond with a secure barrier. Students survey what they can see without touching wildlife or entering the water. They find different insects in sunny and shaded places. The class uses a grid map to record locations, then discusses why a single visit cannot tell them every species that lives there.
WRITE & IMPROVE
Writing studio
Write a short explanation of how varied habitats could support more living things.
Plan one idea, explain it and check that your sentences make sense. You can edit your writing.
TRY THE EXAMPLE FIRST
Maths mission
Four grid squares each covering 6 m² cover 24 m².
APPLY YOUR LEARNING
Real-world mission
Draw a 4-by-4 grid garden map. Label habitats and a safe observation spot.
You can also draw or make the activity away from the screen. Record what you did or what you would make.
SKILL GAME · TAKE YOUR TIME
Challenge gate
Use what you learnt to unlock the gate. There's no timer. Mistakes help you find what to try again.
