Jacobs Well Environmental Centre
As a part of the Year 1 Science unit in Semester One, students have been learning about living things and their habitats. To put the students learning into real life context, Year 1 visits the Jacobs Well Environmental Education Centre in Term 2. Students will be involved in some demonstrations including:
• Mangrove detectives: students will be exploring a mangrove ecosystem and tidal flats in order to discover the unique adaptations of the plants and animals that live there.
• Freshwater ponds & nesting boxes: Students will be using nets to capture creatures from the pond and create their own mini pond. They will learn about different features of the pond and observe different organisms.
