Dynamic Ecosystems includes time in the Discovery Centre and outside in the beautiful Coranderrk Nature Trail adjacent to the Sanctuary.

Students have the opportunity to collect first hand data related to the comparative study of
ecosystems and the finely balanced relationships that exist within them.

Students Identify plants, record field data and investigate biotic and abiotic factors in three different vegetation communities: riparian, floodplain and ridge-top.

The program has been designed to meet the requirements of the school assessed coursework (SAC) component for Outcome 2 (Field Investigation). It addresses the key knowledge and skills related to VCE Biology Unit 2: Area of Study 1: Adaptations of organisms
