In this facilitated workshop, students will dive into the fascinating world of taxonomy.
Through a series of hands-on activities, students will develop their skills in sorting and categorising, to gain a deeper understanding of the importance of classification in the scientific field. By the end, they’ll have a solid grasp of how taxonomy helps us make sense of the natural world.
During the workshop, students will:
- Play Living and Non-living Bingo
- Classify and group things based on observable features that are similar or different.
- Utilise a number of tools to assist them to refine their classification skills
- Explore the concept of living and non-living in the Wild Life Gallery
This program links to the following strands of the Western Australian Curriculum. More details can be found here.
