About this worksheet
A four-page Year 2 fact file about one minibeast, the woodlouse. Pupils draw or stick a picture of a woodlouse in its dark, damp microhabitat, next to a picture of one on damp soil by a mossy log. Six Key Facts boxes follow, from Microhabitat and Diet to How it is Suited to its Home. A Did You Know box asks for one surprising fact, and the last task is two or three sentences on why the woodlouse matters. The answer key gives sample answers, such as fourteen legs and a diet of rotting wood and dead leaves. It follows the England National Curriculum unit Living things and their habitats.
