Habitats, both small and large, form fascinating topics for children
to study and enjoy. From the micro-habitats in the backgarden,
to the deserts and jungles around the planet, children find studying
the animals, plants, structures, and conservation of habitats
a rewarding and enlightening experience. There are numerous opportunities
to cover this topic using a cross-curricular approach,
and also lots of chances for large whole-school projects covering
a day or even a week.
This CD-ROM includes images, video, music and IWB slideshows on the
following themes: 1. Plants the producers of food, (factors that
help them survive in a habitat and form the 'scaffolding' for
it); 2. Minibeasts the major types - (earthworm, snail, slug, insect
beetle, butterfly, moth, flies, ant, spiders, centipedes, millipedes);
3. Plants as habitats (what lives on them - especially

8. Habitat conservation; 9. World sustainability (Conserving the
