Healthy Habitats and Adaptations Program

Our Healthy Habitats and Adaptations Program is aligned to the Grade 1, 4 and 5 Australian Curriculum. In this workshop students will explore a secret underwater bug world! 

By the end of this incursion students will be able to answer:
  • What is a habitat?
  • What are some examples of habitats found in our creek environments?
  • What features makes an aquatic invertebrate (waterbug)?
  • What adaptations do waterbugs have to survive in their environment?

Students have the opportunity to catch LIVE waterbugs in their very own creek sample! Other activities include use of stereo / USB microscopes, healthy habitats activity, preserved waterbugs and wetland educational books and puzzles.

Our sessions always conclude with a demonstration on waterway pollution and a discussion on conserving our waterways.

Maximum number of children per session: ​28
