Ever wondered how Australian animals survive a wide range of environments? From the harsh conditions of the desert to the cool depths of the ocean – our native animals have become well adapted to life in Australia.

In this interactive remote session, students explore the structural and behavioural adaptations of some of our coolest native flora and fauna and discover how they can survive in such environments. Using this knowledge students are challenged to design their own animal with features that allow them to survive and thrive in its environment.

In this program students will:

  • discuss what all living organisms need to survive
  • describe adaptations for survival 
  • investigate structural and behavioural adaptations of 2-3 Australian native animals 
  • apply knowledge of adaptations to design their own unique organism.

OUR REMOTE LESSONS ARE AVAILABLE TO RURAL VICTORIAN GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS ONLY
