This HPGE workshop invites students to delve into the fascinating world of invertebrates.
Students will engage in field studies, collecting and observing invertebrate species in their natural habitats to gain practical experience in entomology. They will learn about the ecological roles and behaviours of invertebrates as they meet a range of species up close.
Participants will collaborate with invertebrate enthusiasts and an entomologist to explore invertebrate anatomy, taxonomy, and conservation. They will record their observations in a nature journal. Towards the end of the day, they will construct a model invertebrate, which will be mounted and framed.
This program will foster critical thinking and scientific inquiry, enabling students to deepen their understanding of entomology and cultivate a lifelong passion for the natural world.
This program is only available to NSW Department of Education school students.
Location
Teachers or parents will need to drop off and pick up the students to and from the Field of Mars Reserve on the day.
