Roads to Extinction Science/SOSE
Why do animals go extinct? Look at two species that have become extinct in our region, one through habitat loss, the other through predation by feral foxes. Other animals that are threatened are then discussed. Animals can become threatened from such diverse reasons as change in fire regime to changes in water quality. What can be done?

Where do They Fit? Science
Look at animal relationships and how animals are classified. Why isn't a bat a bird? Students use animal features to group and compare them.

Underwater Cafe Science/SOSE
Our wetlands are home to an amazing variety of creatures. A ponding expedition discovers some of the smallest animals, then we look at some of the frogs and fishes normally hidden from our view. Students construct a food chain, to show what happens in this eat or be eaten world.

Wildlife out the Back Door  Science/SOSE
Investigate animals that can be found in the suburban environment. How can we make things better for wildlife in our back yards or school grounds? Look at frogs, lizards, possums, bats and birds.

Night Safari  Science/SOSE
(Evening excursion - special conditions apply)
Explore the Park's Moonlit Sanctuary. Discover Australia's unique nocturnal fauna. What adaptations are needed to cope with getting around in the dark? Why use the night, and sleep during the day?
