Year 7  Australian Curriculum (Science)

Complements C2C Units: Organising & Affecting Organisms

This is a night time activity for camp schools. Students catch and collect frogs from nearby ponds and paddocks. They separate the frogs from the toads and attempt to identify the frog species.
Students also explore amphibians as a group. They look at the features that characterise ampbians and seperate them from reptiles, and fish.

SU: There are differences within and between groups of organisms; Classification helps organise this diversity (ACSSU111)

Interactions between organisms can be described in terms of food chains and food webs; human activity can affect these interactions (ACSSU112)

SIS: Collaboratively and individually plan and conduct a range of investigation types, including fieldwork, ensuring that safety and ethical guidelines are followed (ACSIS125)
