About this program
In this program, students are made the carer of their own native Australian animal.
The challenge is set – using a passport, return your animal to it's correct native habitat. Learn about the needs of your animal and it's adaptations to survive in it's natural environment.
BIG IDEAS:
- To identify differences between the living and non-living
- To understand more about habitat and the need for animals to adapt to their habitat to survive
- To engage in the natural environment and make observations that can be communicated to others.
Focus: This study aligns with 'Staying Alive' from the Primary Connections series.
This program reflects the new English, Mathematics, HSIE Science, Creative Arts and PDHPE Syllabus outcomes.
