This suite of resources from Year 1 to Year 10 has been designed to get your students involved in National Science Week, which is held between 10 to 18 August 2024! This year's theme is Species Survival - More Than Just Sustainability. 

It aims to show how important science and innovation are in ensuring the survival and thriving of different species, including humans, in our constantly evolving World. 

Engage your students in Science Week by exploring the importance of native bees, species survival, habitats, biodiversity and gene editing! Students will develop their understanding of science technologies and methods.

Tune In

Students explore the importance of native bees for our ecosystem. Students will investigate what a species is and why we should be interested in species survival.
