TOUR TOPICS
This guided tour highlights the wonder of the aquatic world and allows for a journey of discovery where, problem solving and care for the marine environment are encouraged and fostered. Students will recognise and compare the needs of living creatures including their homes and plants needed to survive.
This guided tour looks at the different life cycles of animals in aquatic environments and how they differ from plants. Students will describe the different stages of the life cycles of fish, sharks and mammals.
In this guided tour students will deepen their understanding of the differences between living, once living and products of living things by examining ocean artefacts and a range of unique organisms. Along with covering the three different adaptations animals and plants have to survive in the aquatic environment – structural, functional and behavioural. This tour also looks at relationships between animal structural and functional adaptations.
