Nature Club - The Woodlouse Experiment

Nature Club - 'The Woodlouse Experiment' hands-on workshop for ages 5-9 at the Science Oxford Centre

Make a LEGO woodlice maze and make a paper curl up crustacean to take home at October's Nature Club for ages 5-9. Woodlice are amazing, find out why! We can see from prehistoric fossils that woodlice evolved over millions and millions of years, so they have super-strong survival skills. Make a LEGO woodlice maze to navigate, and collect materials in the woodland for scientific experiments* to test their decision making. Do they like light or dark, wet or dry, soil or leaves? Play the woodlouse game, and make a paper curl up crustacean to take home. *No woodlouse will be harmed in our experiments, and will safely return to their woodland habitat!
