Yr 2 identify that most living things live in habitats to which they are suited

To identify that most living things live in habitats to which they are suited (Pattern seeking enquiry.  Populating a table.  Making a bar chart)

Y2 children were told that Mr Bates had gathered caterpillars from many different habitats!  They were all different colours because they suited their habitats!  Disaster struck though… they all escaped in our school woods!

The children went on the hunt!  When we got back into school, we made a table of how many of each colour we found, and looked for patterns.  We thought about why we found so few brown and green ones! We then put our data into a bar chart.
