How do animals change during their life cycle?

During this Stage 1 incursion students will explore the life cycles of the amazing invertebrates that can be found in the trees or leaf litter in their school grounds. They will use a range of equipment to find, capture and study these important animals.

Back in the classroom or hall, students will examine their invertebrates using magnifiers as well as an iPad connected to a projection device. 

They will examine the differences between life stages of various animals and describe how their external features change as they grow.
