Crikey mate, look at the Croc!!
Subject:Science
Curriculum Linkage: Geography
Strand: Living things
Strand Unit: Plant and Animal life
Resource details: Prezi on Australian Animals, Images of mammals, marsupials, birds, monotremes, marine and reptiles.
Teaching Ideas:
I would use the prezi as a stimulus for the lesson. I would begin the lesson by asking the children of they know of any Australian animals.
In groups: I would ask the children to compile a list
I would zone in on the Koala and discuss it with the class under the headings: Appearance, classification, habitat etc.
I would assign an animal to each group and would ask one child to volunteer to be responsible for writing down facts about their specific animal. The other children would be telling him/her all the information that is gathered.
I would encourage the children to add their own knowledge too.
