Life cycles incursion
Science and technology
Program
Students will learn about the features of invertebrates and how they change throughout their life cycle.
Learning intention
We are learning to identify living things at different stages of their life cycle.
We are learning to describe how living things change as they grow.
Activities
Invertebrate hunt
Students will work in small groups to find and collect invertebrates using a range of scientific equipment.
Invertebrate identification and life cycles
Specimens will be examined with personal magnifiers and identified using ID charts. Some invertebrates will be magnified on a TV, and their features and life cycles will be explored.
