In this ecological extravaganza, a trio of Griffith University STEM experts will showcase the living systems around us and the subtle interactions that drive them. Through interactive demonstrations, students will gain an insight into the fundamental concepts behind biological systems and evolutionary change, as well as how to find solutions to ecological issues impacting our lives by exploring and explaining everyday observations. From marine megafauna to intricate ecosystems, Grand Nature inspires and empowers by turning a wide-angle lens on the fascinating diversity of life.

Curriculum links
This program addresses key curriculum, including Year 4 (ACSSU072), Year 7 – 12 (Biology Unit 3).
Corals are the foundation of the coral reef ecosystem. These extraordinary animals acquire energy in two different ways: they can eat other organisms, and they can also capture energy from the sun. In this resource you will explore how surface area and volume affect the productivity of corals, and how energy flows through a coral reef ecosystem.

Year: 9-10
Biology
There are nearly 1000 threatened species in Queensland alone, and the extinction of these species has the potential to disrupt whole ecosystems. In this resource you will examine a threatened Queensland animal, and create a Queensland Museum exhibit explaining why this species is threatened, and what you can do to help protect it.
