Observation Set "Woodlice", 8 pcs.

At first glance these animals are inconspicuous and often mistakenly regarded as pests; but look more closely and these little crustaceans are an important part of our lives. For example, did you know that woodlice are as important to our environment as bees? They are true climate savers! And this has been the case for many millions of years!

As part of the food chain, they ensure fertile soil and optimal conditions for plant growth. Woodlice, just like bacteria, fungi and plants, are an important part of the cycle of materials and the ecosystem.

Using the example of woodlice, the children not only gain exciting insights into the life of these small crustaceans, they also learn to take responsibility for other living creatures. The instructions are written in child-friendly language and guide children step-by-step through woodlice observation: from setting up the terrarium, to collecting and feeding the woodlice, to six detailed, illustrated observation experiments. 8 worksheets and 3 interactive exercises ensure the right results and inspire children to engage deeply with the topic.
