Step inside Taronga’s Habitat Classrooms and explore the living world through close encounters with incredible animals. In this interactive lesson, students investigate the key components of an ecosystem, from the non-living factors that shape habitats to the plants, animals, and decomposers that interact within them. Students will have the opportunity to observe and interact with a range of species, learning how a successfully functioning ecosystem requires all components to be balanced. Students will also investigate real-world examples of ecosystem disturbances in Australia and their impacts on native species.
