Habitats
The Big Bus Science Module “Habitats” is designed to introduce and review the basic concepts behind Classification techniques, matching an animal with a habitat and basic food chains at the KS 2 level. Habitats is composed of four e-learning objects: 1. Sorting things out 2. Scientific classification 3. Who lives where 4. Who eats Whom Objects 1 & 2 can be used together to introduce the concept of classification and then use a scientific classification technique prepared by scientists. Object 3 matches animals to suitable habitats. Object 4 allows the student to prepare a series of `Food Chains`.
