Investigate the distinguishing features of the different vertebrate classes through observation and discussion of specimens from the Zoo’s animal collection.
Students explore the threatening processes that can bring a species to the brink of extinction. They also consider local and global conservation actions.
Discover some of the ways that animals have adapted to their surroundings to find and capture food, stay cool and avoid predators or even to ambush prey.
Self guided trail. Students calculate probabilities based on observation of animal behaviours; use estimation in circumstances where direct measurement is impossible; and use translation, reflection and rotation to navigate the Zoo.
An opportunity for students to practise their language skills as they study the animals in the Zoo’s collection. These experiences are self-guided and trails can be down-loaded from our website. Click here for the trails.
