Curriculum anchor: England Year 4 science: recognise that environments can change and that this can sometimes pose dangers to living things.

This game is designed as short independent practice after an idea has been introduced. It does not replace direct teaching, mathematical or scientific discussion, or an adult checking whether the learner can explain the idea away from the screen.

For parents and carers

Compare game predictions with repeated observations from a safe local habitat and record uncertainty. Take a break when you need one.
