Resource Description

This unit of work focuses on a biosecurity threat, the red imported fire ant, which was detected at Port Botany in November 2014. Fire ants can negatively affect our recreational spaces, agricultural production and out-compete native species.
Students will design and complete an investigation and create a communication product that aligns with outcomes from the NSW Science and Technology, English and Geography syllabuses.
