Become a Scientist for a Day
TeachWild aims to inspire students to explore their world through science that is relevant to their lives, and encourage, motivate and reward innovation in curriculum delivery by teachers.
Scientists from CSIRO are surveying beaches and birdlife around Australia to better understand the sources and distribution of marine debris and the threat it poses to Australian wildlife.
Our scientists will inspire students from Year 6-10 with engaging fieldwork, learning the basics of data collection and scientific methods. They will conduct a one day field based excursion with your students at a local beach or waterway. Field work includes beach surveys to look for marine debris and marine wildlife affected by debris. By engaging in our program, students will receive an interactive learning experience whilst meeting some of the key learning areas of the Australian Curriculum.
