Life cycles excursion
Science and technology 2024 syllabus
How do animals and plants change during their life cycle?
During this excursion Stage 1 students will explore the bushland in the Field of Mars Reserve to find examples of living things representing different stages of their life cycle.
They will examine the differences between life stages of various plants and animals and describe how their external features change as they grow.
Using fieldwork methods to collect and identify invertebrates, students will explore the life cycles of collected animals.
Students will meet the centre’s phasmids, discuss their life cycle, and construct an invertbrate out of clay to take back to school.
This program has been updated for the 2024 syllabus and was formally known as Watch it grow.
Recommended maximum 6 classes per day.
