Ants
Learning about ants is fun! With a little creativity there is no end to the learning opportunities which may be based around the theme of ants. Maybe it‘s their amazing societal structure, feats of strength or ability to survive almost anywhere on the planet that have caused children (and many adults!) to be fascinated by ants.

Wolves and Dogs
No other wild animal causes as strong emotions as the wolf does. For centuries persecuted and exterminated since the 19th century, very contradictory reactions are accompanied by the wolf: the image of the child-eating beast on the one hand, its beauty and wildness on the other hand. With the unexpected return of this predator, an according ly controversial discussion takes place
in public, which can also be taken up in the lessons for the promotion of assessment competence.

Bees
Bees, if they are honeybees or wild bees, are important pollinators and of great value for man. Without bees many crops wouldn´t yield good return. The food production is highly dependent on bees and other pollinators. Moreover bees ensure the survival of many wild plants and animals and are crucial to save biodiversity. However, bees are exposed to different kinds of danger – often caused by human actions.

Earthworms
Although earthworms are known almost everywhere, they are not widely popular among children. Some may find them disgusting or be reluctant to touch them. By raising children’s attention and interest towards this often disrespected species, students become more open and able to expand their knowledge concerning them. The activities allow children to get familiar with these often overlooked creatures and to make direct contact with them. However, it is necessary to remember that children should make these encounters in their own pace, please do not rush them. The aim of the activities is to gain first hand experience about these animals and it is through experience that children learn.

Reptiles
Reptiles are considered by evolutionists as the first truly terrestrial vertebrates which emerged, after fish, from the first group of quadrupeds (four feet moving animals), namely from amphibians. Reptiles are reproducing by eggs, in which, depending on the species, the embryo can develop on dry land and they can breathe only with the help of lungs. As a result of their physiological characteristics, the formation of a protective layer was possible, which prevents water loss.
