Micro hike

With this Micro hike activity, you don’t need to go on a long journey to discover something new! Shrink your students down to the size of a bug and send them on a journey of discovery.

Children will see things from a different perspective as they slow down and observe smaller elements in the local landscape. This activity can be combined with a science investigation like a BioBlitz, or a creative writing project as part of a language lesson.

This teaching resource was developed by Nature Play Western Australia and Island Wood for the Nature Passport app.
