Variety of Life

This workshop explores the wide range of species that we have living globally and locally in our waters. We’ll start by establishing a means of grouping organisms creating our own set of classifications, then head out onto the beach and start to put these rules into action. We will then classify everything we have found as a group and begin to discuss the dynamics there could be between them e.g. predator/prey, interspecific competition etc. creating a map of the interactions between everything we’ve found. Finally, we will assess the impact humans have on these interactions through practises such as fishing.

This workshop is targeted at those aged P4-P7

We will happily adapt and modify workshops to suit your requirements.

Please refer to our Education Workshop Guide which lists Curriculum for Excellence experiences and outcomes for the 'Seal Stories' workshop.
