Focusing on the growling grass frog, students learn about urbanisation and frog biology to identify future urban growth hotspots impacting habitat.
This lesson plan explores the identification, classification and feeding relationships of organisms using local waterbugs – key indicators of waterway health.
Study your local frogs to learn about biological classification, ecosystem processes and humans' impact on the natural environment.
Learn how raingardens protect rivers and creeks from stormwater pollution, and how you can build one.
Discover the history of the artificial Dights Falls weir, its impact on native fish, and the site's importance to the traditional owners.
Discover where frogs live and what helps them survive there, and learn about the effect of environmental changes on frog populations.
Learn about the different frog species living in Melbourne's distinct waterway ecosystems, and how they've evolved to survive there.
Observe the key features of waterbugs and consider how they are intrinsic to their survival in waterways.
This activity explores the impact of people and stormwater pollution on platypus.
