The NSW Science and Technology curriculum challenges students to think like scientists by exploring the complexity and beauty of the Living World. A key focus is describing how living things can be grouped based on observable features and to distinguish between different life cycles.
Australian Environmental Education (AEE) offers a suite of hands-on programs specifically designed to bridge the gap between classroom theory and real-world observation. By integrating these programs you can provide your students with authentic opportunities to use scientific tools to investigate the interdependence of organisms within their local ecosystems.
I have outlined the AEE programs with a key focus on life cycles and classification in the table below.
| AEE Program | Key Alignment | Best For |
| Invertebrate Investigations | Classification, Features & Life Cycles | Hands-on STEM and using scientific tools. |
| Life Cycles | Growth & Development | Understanding stages of life and reproduction. |
| Australian Animals Adaptations | Classification, Adaptation, Environment & Life Cycles | Understanding adaptations and habitat needs. |
| Fabulous Frogs | Life Cycles & Habitats | Specific focus on amphibians and environmental health. |
| Marvellous Marine Life | Classification, Habitats &, Life Cycles | Understanding adaptations & environmental health. |
The base cost is $425 + GST for a 60 minute program. We can work out a program design and cost based on the number of classes/students you would like to accommodate.
