HOPE for the Future is a three-year project at Oxford University Museum of Natural History funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund. One of the aims of the project is to create enthusiasm amongst children around natural sciences – and in particular, insects!
Explore British insects through Six Legs of Summer – the museum has six challenges to try out – each one being revealed daily throughout this week:
- 1st Leg – Finding and Identifying Insects
- 2nd Leg – Fabulous Insect Photos!
- 3rd Leg – Design an Insect
- 4th Leg – Pestie or Bestie
- 5th Leg – A Game of Life Cycles
- 6th Leg – Beyond Six Legs of Summer
