What would it be like to have a dinosaur as a pet? – Virtual Excursion to Bathurst Museum

Take a look inside the Australian Fossil and Mineral Museum, located in Bathurst NSW. Year 3 – S2 Year 4 – S2 Year 5 – S3 Year 6 – S3 What would it be like to have a dinosaur as a pet? – Virtual Excursion to Bathurst Museum With a T.rex looming overhead join Museum curators Penny and Alison for this syllabus linked session that will explore the living world and encourage students to look at how the science of palaeontology can be applied to a real life dilemma: If you had a pet dinosaur, what would you need to know and how would you look after it?

In this session students will:
• Find out how fossils are formed and learn about how palaeontologists know dinosaurs ever existed
• See clues that help us understand what dinosaurs needed to survive in their environment
• Compare dinosaurs to animals that are alive now
• Come up with a strategy to keep YOUR dinosaur as a pet
• Discover how big the T. rex dinosaur brain was and how smart a big dinosaur like that was

Butterfly Science!

Journey into the world of butterflies with a butterfly scientist! Year 3 – S2 Year 4 – S2 Year 5 – S3 Year 6 – S3 Year 7 – S4 Year 8 – S4 Year 9 – S5 Year 10 – S5 Butterfly Science! Join us for a journey into the world of butterflies, led by a real-life butterfly scientist!

Delve into the differences between butterflies and moths, unravel the secrets of their vibrant colours, and explore their diverse world within the landscapes of Australia. Gain insights into the critical role butterflies play in ecosystems and learn how you can contribute to their conservation.

This session will be led by Marilia Fernandes Erickson who is a PhD candidate at Macquarie University. Currently her research is on aposematism (the use of warning coloration to tell potential predators that an animal is poisonous, venomous, or dangerous) in butterfly and moth communities. To do that, Marilia has been running around Australia with a butterfly catching net to figure out where these beautifully coloured butterflies are, and if their distribution and abundancy is dependent on factors like climate, predation, or mimics.

About 11 Words for Love

A moving and joyful book for children from all backgrounds about the many ways we love, from award-winning author Randa Abdel-Fattah and acclaimed illustrator Maxine Beneba Clarke.

There are eleven words for love, and my family knows them all.

A family flees their homeland to find safety in another country, carrying little more than a suitcase full of love.

As their journey unfolds, the oldest child narrates 11 meanings for love in Arabic as her family show, and are shown, all different kinds of love in their new home, and they also remember the love they have for their homeland and for those left behind or lost along the way.

In the Arabic language, there are over 50 words describing the degrees of love. That’s 50 stories, 50 life-worlds. This lyrical and heartwarming book takes you on a journey through 11 of these Arabic expressions for love.
