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
- explore what an animal needs in its environment to survive
- investigate the elements of a healthy ecosystem
- consider how humans can care for local ecosystems
Years 3 – 6
- learn about and identify elements of a healthy ecosystem for a variety of organisms
- consider how living things are connected within an ecosystem
- explore how human impacts on ecosystems are affecting individual animal species
- consider how humans can care for local ecosystems, habitats and organisms
You’ll receive a school teacher guide, including instructions for optional activities to do before and after the CERES incursion to get your students thinking, discussing and actively contributing to a world that is environmentally sustainable for all living creatures.
