Take your students outside this summer (Stage 3)
Note: these resources are most suited to students working at stage 3 level but can be adapted for younger and older students.
​
This summer the Peri-urban Environmental Biosecurity Network needs your help.
Get your students involved in some citizen science while they learn about some of NSW’s target invasive pests.
​
With this quick activity you will:
-
deliver a hands-on activity in your school grounds that contributes to the important biosecurity surveillance of NSW
-
help biosecurity staff monitor the state for some of the pests of greatest concern in NSW right now
-
give your students an insight into one of the many science careers in agriculture and natural resource management
-
get your students outside for some authentic learning!
