Animal homes
€13.00

Walking in a forest or park it is possible to encounter many different types of animal homes. These could be holes in a tree or on the ground, caves, nests, and shells. Why homes are different in shape and size? What is their function? How do different animals construct their homes? Why some materials are used instead of others? We will give a close look at a fox and badger home, bird, mouse and squirrel nests, wasp and other invertebrates nests. You will learn to identify different animal homes, their shapes, materials and function (to sleep, hold eggs, capture insects, storage food, etc). Are you ready to use your magnifying glasses? You will examine in detail live samples of animal homes using scientific tool kits, and you will do exciting scientific activities!
