Ecosystem explorers excursion

Science and Technology - 2024 syllabus

Working as ecologists, students will explore the ecosystem of the Field of Mars Reserve to identify features of an environment and examples of living and non-living things.

Through a range of hands-on, field journaling activities students will observe different habitats to investigate how plants and animals interact with each other and the ecosystem around them. Students will conclude the day with a food chain activity.

Field journaling activities will include sensory observation, invertebrate hunts and recording through sketching, watercolour and tallies.

Recommended maximum 6 classes per day.

This program is also available as an incursion if you have bushland near your school.
