Canning River Eco. Invertebrates and eco systems

Science

• The student learned about the different types of invertebrates that can be found in the Canning River ecosystem.
• They learned about the importance of invertebrates in maintaining the balance of the ecosystem.
• The student learned how to identify and classify different invertebrate species based on their physical characteristics.
• They also learned about the role of invertebrates in nutrient cycling and decomposition.

One creative way for continued development related to this activity is for the student to conduct their own research on a specific type of invertebrate found in the Canning River ecosystem. They can create a presentation or poster to share their findings with their classmates, highlighting the importance of that particular invertebrate in the ecosystem.
