Celebrating Science Week
With a theme of ‘Species Survival – more than just Sustainability’, National Science Week at Trinity was celebrated with an exciting interactive presentation from the team at Wild Action.
Year 7 students had the opportunity to learn about Australian mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians while learning about their different habitats and habits and there were plenty of volunteers to assist in holding the critters.
The rest of the school didn’t miss out, though, with the presentation continuing through the break and allowing all students the chance to interact with the wildlife.
Topics covered during the presentation included the biological classification and taxonomy of the animals, the adaptations that enable them to survive, human impact on their environment, diet, conservation and much more.
The fantastic incursion aimed to strengthen the students’ understanding of the importance of protecting biodiversity and instil a sense of wonder and respect for the natural world.
Judging by the smiles, it looks like it achieved its mission!
