Hosted by expert educators, students will develop their understanding of living and nonliving things and the impacts of human activities on an ecosystem through hands-on activities. Our educators will guide students through problem solving and action planning to create change within their school community and explore solutions to increase biodiversity at school or home.
Through a variety of hands-on activities your students will:
Years F – 2
- learn about Australian animal features, habitats and life cycles
- explore what an animal needs in its environment to survive
- consider how humans can care for local ecosystems
- explore connections between Indigenous Australians and the Australian landscape
Years 3 – 10
- learn about and identify elements of a healthy ecosystem for a variety of organisms
- explore scientific methods to measure and analyse their observation
- consider how humans can care for local habitats and organisms
- explore connections between Indigenous Australians and the native Australian landscape
You’ll receive a school teacher guide, including instructions for optional activities to do before and after your excursion at CERES to get your students thinking, discussing and actively contributing to a world that is environmentally sustainable for all living creatures.
