Biodiversity Survey — Catalogue What Lives Here
Tween systematically catalogues plant and animal species in a local area — garden, park, or nearby green space. Parent facilitates field observation and discussion. This activity reveals scientific method understanding, classification skills, and habitat awareness through hands-on ecological investigation.
Free to do together whenever you like.
What you'll need
Go to any accessible outdoor area with some nature — garden, local park, green space, even a patch of weeds. Bring a notebook and pencil for recording observations, a phone camera for documenting species, and optionally a magnifying glass. The area doesn't need to be pristine nature — urban biodiversity is fascinating too.
