Exploring Melbourne Zoo

In the final weeks of first semester, our Year 7 Science students have been investigating local species that are endangered, identifying major threats to their survival by researching their place in the local ecosystem.

The students attended an excursion to Melbourne Zoo, where they worked with zoo staff to explore how technology can be used to track the movement of these species. The students will use the knowledge gained through personal research and the excursion to design a campaign to raise awareness about their assigned species.
