<h4>Ocean Life Education&#8217;s Classification Program</h4>
<p>Ocean Life Education’s year 7 science incursions in Brisbane provide students with a solid foundation of a variety of ocean-focused <strong>themes in line with the Australian Curriculum</strong>. One of our most popular programs is <strong>Classification</strong>, which focuses on helping students organize their understanding of the world around them, enhancing critical thinking and observational skills.</p>
<h4><img decoding="async" class="wp-image-5616 size-medium alignright" src="https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Untitled-design-2-300x213.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="213" srcset="https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Untitled-design-2-300x213.jpg 300w, https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Untitled-design-2-1024x726.jpg 1024w, https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Untitled-design-2-768x545.jpg 768w, https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Untitled-design-2-624x443.jpg 624w, https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Untitled-design-2-1536x1090.jpg 1536w, https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Untitled-design-2.jpg 1748w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></h4>
<p>During our Classification incursions, students will explore <strong>the grouping of living organisms</strong> based on their observed features, functions, and adaptations for survival. They will <strong>understand the reasons behind animal classification</strong> and discover both similarities and differences among various marine animals. Additionally, <strong>the importance of scientific communication </strong>will be emphasised, and<strong> students will engage in simple classification exercises</strong> of marine species <strong>using scientific conventions for naming species</strong>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4>Simple Classification of our Marine Animals</h4>
<p><strong>We bring a fascinating and diverse range of live marine animals</strong> along to our science incursions, including <strong>a </strong><strong>baby shark, a freshwater turtle, a variety of sea stars, sea cucumbers and sea urchins</strong>. This enables us to look at a range of classifications first hand. For example, our echinoderms&#8230;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4><strong><img decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-5599 alignleft" src="https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/sand-sea-star-300x288.jpeg" alt="Sand Sea Star" width="300" height="288" srcset="https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/sand-sea-star-300x288.jpeg 300w, https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/sand-sea-star-1024x982.jpeg 1024w, https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/sand-sea-star-768x736.jpeg 768w, https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/sand-sea-star-624x598.jpeg 624w, https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/sand-sea-star-1536x1473.jpeg 1536w, https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/sand-sea-star.jpeg 1947w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" />Echinoderms</strong></h4>
<p>Sea stars, sea urchins, and sea cucumbers are all classified as echinoderms &#8211; named for the spines or bumps covering the outer surface of the bodies (Greek root word <em>echino</em>&#8211; meaning <em>spiny</em>; Latin root word &#8211;<em>derm</em> meaning <em>skin</em>).</p>
<p>Children learn that echinoderms, despite their diverse appearances, share <strong>two key features</strong> that distinguish them from other animals:<strong> a water vascular system and five-sided radial symmetry</strong>. These characteristics are fundamental to their movement and body structure, <strong>highlighting the unique adaptations of this fascinating group</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>The water vascular system</strong> in echinoderms consists of canals filled with seawater that aid movement, feeding, nutrition, and respiration. Hydraulic pressure allows tube feet to extend and retract, enabling them to move around and interact with their environment.</p>
<p><strong>The pentamerous radial symmetry structure</strong> of echinoderms makes the body strong as a five-segment skeleton is stronger than a four- or six-sided one (because the line of weakness cannot run directly across the body).</p>
<p>Our sea stars, urchins and cucumbers offer a fitting example of all these characteristics and the children have fun while learning to classify them themselves. We also discuss how our shark and turtle may be classified but in less detail.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4><strong>Marine Classification &#8211; Table Activity <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-5601 alignright" src="https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Classification-table-2-300x225.png" alt="Classification Activity Table" width="300" height="225" srcset="https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Classification-table-2-300x225.png 300w, https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Classification-table-2-768x576.png 768w, https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Classification-table-2-624x468.png 624w, https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Classification-table-2.png 1024w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></strong></h4>
<p>Here, students observe our live marine animals and then apply their learning to categorise animals themselves into a <a href="https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Classification-Table-Activity-2_watermark-1.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">table</a>. This is a great activity for year 7 science as students become scientists, drawing their own conclusions from the data and observations.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4>Marine Classification &#8211; 3 Minute Video</h4>
<p>In this <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_z-T-2HnDE">short film</a>, Ocean Life Education’s Director of Education, Richard Coward, highlights key Classification learning points using our marine animals as examples and explains how animals are grouped according to the way their bodies look and function. It’s a great precursor to an incursion, which can be watched with students as a quick taster and talking point in advance of our visit.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-5602 alignleft" src="https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/20231018_093112-sq-300x300.jpg" alt="Primary Science Excursion" width="300" height="300" srcset="https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/20231018_093112-sq-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/20231018_093112-sq-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/20231018_093112-sq-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/20231018_093112-sq-768x768.jpg 768w, https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/20231018_093112-sq-624x624.jpg 624w, https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/20231018_093112-sq-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/20231018_093112-sq-400x400.jpg 400w, https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/20231018_093112-sq-50x50.jpg 50w, https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/20231018_093112-sq.jpg 1621w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" />Incursions in Brisbane &amp; Excursions to the Coast!</h4>
<p>While our science incursions in Brisbane are a fantastic way for us to bring the sea to students who might not get the opportunity to visit the coast, we also offer the option of experiencing Classification during an excursion to the coast. Our team meet the students at a designated spot, and we explore and research the environment together before returning to our live marine animals to put things into context.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4></h4>
<h4></h4>
<h4></h4>
<h4><strong>Classification for Younger Students</strong></h4>
<p>If you are also teaching younger students, another great way to prepare for our Classification science incursion is with our <a href="https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Classification-Activity-1-merged.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Classification Card Activity</a> in which student use classification cards to work out which headings different marine animals could be classified under.</p>
<h4><strong>A Note About Year 7 Curriculum Science</strong></h4>
<p>This incursion aligns with the Australian Curriculum content description ‘Science Understanding’ under the sub strand of ‘<a href="https://australiancurriculum.edu.au/f-10-curriculum/science/?year=12007&amp;strand=Science+Understanding&amp;strand=Science+as+a+Human+Endeavour&amp;strand=Science+Inquiry+Skills" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Biological Science’ for year 7&#8217;&#8230;</a></p>
<p><em><strong>Investigate the role of classification in ordering and organising the diversity of life on Earth and use and develop classification tools.</strong></em></p>

<p>Most children (and adults!) are naturally fascinated by sharks, either through sheer awe and wonder or by misguided fear. So, it’s no surprise that we can engage kids with sharks to learn a whole range of curriculum topics, without them even realising!</p>
<p>Ocean Life Education has developed a range of FREE online <a href="https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/shark-resources/">shark teaching resources</a> and an <a href="https://oceanlifeeducation.thinkific.com/courses/amazingsharks">online shark course</a> to provide kids, schools and teachers with engaging ways to learn about sharks.</p>
<h4><strong>Why Are Kids Fascinated by Sharks?</strong></h4>
<div id="attachment_2507" style="width: 310px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-2507" class="wp-image-2507 size-medium" title="shark anatomy" src="https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Shark-Anatomy-labelled-300x225.png" alt="shark anatomy and adaptation" width="300" height="225" srcset="https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Shark-Anatomy-labelled-300x225.png 300w, https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Shark-Anatomy-labelled-768x576.png 768w, https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Shark-Anatomy-labelled-624x468.png 624w, https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Shark-Anatomy-labelled.png 1024w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /><p id="caption-attachment-2507" class="wp-caption-text">shark anatomy &#8211; amazing sharks online course</p></div>
<p>Unfortunately, kid’s interest in sharks is often fuelled by exaggerated media stories and scary films, but it’s sharks’ appearance, immense power and ability to hunt that really grab their attention.</p>
<p>Incredibly, sharks have been around for at least 450 million years (since before the dinosaurs). A major reason why sharks have outlasted so many other animals, and a key reason why we are so fascinated by sharks, is their incredible <strong>anatomy</strong>, which is <strong>adapted </strong>to hunt and to survive.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4><strong>Teaching Kids About Sharks Helps Protect Sharks and The Ocean</strong></h4>
<div id="attachment_2679" style="width: 244px" class="wp-caption alignright"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-2679" class="wp-image-2679 " title="sharks &amp; natural selection" src="https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/eating-fish-264x300.png" alt="sharks &amp; natural selection" width="234" height="266" srcset="https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/eating-fish-264x300.png 264w, https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/eating-fish.png 615w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 234px) 100vw, 234px" /><p id="caption-attachment-2679" class="wp-caption-text">sharks &amp; natural selection</p></div>
<p>As <strong>APEX predators</strong>, sharks sit at the top of the <strong>food chain</strong> and help control the numbers of animals below them in the <strong>food </strong><strong>web</strong>, thus maintaining the balance of life in their <strong>marine habitat</strong>. By controlling populations of large and mid-sized predators, sharks allow smaller fish to thrive, ensuring healthy <strong>ecosystems</strong> with a diverse range of species and competitors. Take sharks out of the food chain and the whole structure could collapse.</p>
<p>As we depend on healthy oceans for around 70% of the air that we breath, as well as for a host of other things such as food to eat, it is in our interest to minimise <strong>human impact</strong> and protect animals that protect our ocean.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4></h4>
<h4><strong>Curriculum Themes and Sharks</strong></h4>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft wp-image-2695" src="https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/ocean-champions-300x266.jpg" alt="" width="317" height="281" srcset="https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/ocean-champions-300x266.jpg 300w, https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/ocean-champions.jpg 455w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 317px) 100vw, 317px" />Through the fascinating topic of sharks, kids can learn a host of <strong>curriculum</strong> themes such as <strong>adaptation, habitats, human impact, food webs, natural selection and classification. </strong>Studying the curriculum, while being thoroughly engrossed in the subject matter, makes the process of learning all the more enjoyable and inspiring.</p>
<h4><strong>Learning Enrichment and Sharks</strong></h4>
<p>Often children who need extra support within learning enrichment respond really well to curriculum-based learning which is based around their own topic of interest. That’s where teaching &#8216;Sharks&#8217; can be a really useful tool to stimulate interest and hook children in.</p>
