South Australian Museum - North Terrace, Adelaide, South Australia 5000

Growth and Survival: Year 6

This program is for students investigating how the growth and survival of living things are affected by the physical conditions of their environment. (Australian Science Curriculum; Biology; Year 6.)

The program consists of a set of swap cards, available for loan at the museum or downloadable from the museum’s website.  Each card has two questions relating to the theme. The first can be answered by reference to a computer touch screen by the appropriate display. The second question requires students to also use observation, inference or general knowledge.

Preview the Swap Cards to decide whether to print them yourself, or borrow copies from the museum.

Possible answers to the questions on the cards and suggestions for working with Swap Card data back at school are available.
