The World of Minibeasts

Science · Animals of the World · conceptual

Know that insects and other minibeasts (spiders, worms, snails, centipedes) are the most numerous and diverse group of animals on Earth — there are more species of beetle than any other animal — and that they play vital roles as pollinators (bees, butterflies), decomposers (woodlice, worms), and food for other animals

What mastery looks like

  • Knows that insects/minibeasts are the most numerous animal group
  • Names at least 3 roles minibeasts play: pollinators, decomposers, food source
  • Distinguishes insects (6 legs) from spiders (8 legs) from other minibeasts
  • Shows appreciation for the importance of invertebrates

Check your understanding

If The World of Minibeasts spots a bee in the garden, can they explain why bees are important — and name at least two other jobs that insects and minibeasts do that help the natural world?
