The Earth’s environment - Eucalypt forest incursion

Geography

How does the eucalypt forest provide habitat for the ringtail possum and other native animals?

During this Stage 2 incursion students will undertake a bush walk through bushland areas located near your school.

Through teacher-led and student-directed activities students will investigate and record the characteristics of the forest, evidence of animals and their interconnection with the environment.

Fieldwork tools will include sensory observation, invertebrate hunts and recording through sketching, mapping, watercolour, tallies and photographs.

Location
