Holdenby - Key Stage 3

Key Stage 3

For Key Stage 3 groups the Centre offers a "mix and match" style of programmes. Teachers can choose 2-3 activities to build a day that suits their topic. The focus of many of these activities can be adjusted to match the topic, e.g. pond dipping can be used to investigate food chains, biodiversity, pollution or adaptations.

Your visit will be planned with the Schools Centre Teacher during a pre-visit to the centre, where you will be able to explore the facilities and discuss the objectives for your visit.

Key Stage 3 activities include:

Pond dipping
Investigating trees
Small mammal trapping
Population estimates (capture-mark-recapture)
Woodland invertebrates
Grassland invertebrates
Helpful Hedgerows
All about soil
Tree identification
Owl pellet dissection
Falconry visit (additional charge)

There are also the following investigations available:

Compare invertebrates from contrasting habitats
Investigate the effect of light availability on leaf size
Investigate the effect of trampling on plant species diversity
