Adaptation
Middle secondary students investigate
the role adaptation plays in the survival of the fittest. They
use data to support their understanding of ways a particular
Australian Tiger Snake species has adapted to different prey
availability on separate islands. They look at ways in
which survival of the fittest is linked to the environment.
Students identify and report on possible impacts of climate
change on an island population.
 |
Science |
| Students explore adaptations within a single species using
an example of an Australian species of snake adapting to
its environment. Students investigate predator-prey relationships. |
|
|
Mathematics |
| Students calculate the mode, median and mean of a data
set and explain which is the most suitable. They determine
if there is a significant difference between the two sets
of data and determine if there is a relationship between
two variables using a scatter plot. |

English |
| Students view a range of scientific texts and develop an information report about survival of the fittest and what it means. |
