2008 Calendar
Here's what's new in Education for 2008:
Education Experiences
There's More to Building a Frog-friendly Garden...
Phase of Learning: Middle Childhood
There’s more to building a frog-friendly habitat than digging a hole or filling a container with plants and water. Begin a Technology and Enterprise journey by investigating the issues that need to be considered when creating a functional, aesthetic and environmentally-friendly amphibian abode.
Hotspots
Phase of Learning: Middle Childhood
What does it mean to be a recognised ‘Biodiversity Hotspot’? Do we value the uniqueness of the south-west of Western Australia? This experience raises awareness of endemic flora and fauna species and encourages students to appreciate and protect the varied life that surrounds them.
Mistaken Identity
Phase of Learning: Early Adolescence
Students are provided with an overview of the characteristics of amphibians. They will use this knowledge to leap frog into developing an identification key to correctly tell the difference between native frogs and Cane Toads.
Teacher Professional Development
