Create a Creature & Habitat

What they are actually learning.

Your child invents a creature and then builds the habitat that would actually keep it alive. Every design choice has to be justified biologically: this diet needs these teeth, this climate needs this adaptation. Then they build a physical model of it, which is where the spatial reasoning kicks in.

• Science: Designing anatomy, diet, behaviour and adaptations that hold together as biology
• Problem-Solving: Working out what the creature would actually need to survive where they put it
• Engineering: Building a physical model, which needs spatial reasoning and real construction
• Communication: Documenting the creature and explaining why each choice makes sense
