Miss Bor’s year 7 Science class recently had the opportunity to examine and draw scientific illustrations of stick insects, which helped them to understand the concept of species classification. By studying the physical characteristics of these insects and observing their unique features, such as their elongated bodies and distinct leg structures, the students were able to practise drawing scientifically, and start their thinking on how animals and plants are grouped together, based on characteristics. Overall, this hands-on experience provided the students with a deeper understanding of the process of classification and the diversity of the natural world.
