Science and technology: Living world: ST3-4LW-S: Growth and survival of living things; Adaptations of living things; Sustainably managing environments to source food and fibre.

Geography: Factors that shape places: GE3- 1, 2, 3, and 4: Factors that change environments; Environments shape places; Humans shape places.

Science understanding: Biological sciences: Living things have structural features and adaptations that help them to survive in their environment (VCSSU074). The growth and survival of living things are affected by the physical conditions of their environment (VCSSU075).

Science inquiry skills: With guidance, pose questions to clarify practical problems or inform a scientific investigation, and predict what the findings of an investigation might be based on previous experiences or general rules (VCSIS082).

Planning and conducting: With guidance, plan appropriate investigation types to answer questions or solve problems and use equipment, technologies and materials safely, identifying potential risks (VCSIS083).
