Up the creek teachers' notes

These teachers' notes are to be used for the bilingual online resource Up the Creek on the Biodiversity website.

By focusing on the life cycle of whitebait, the resource introduces concepts about biodiversity in waterways in a context that is relevant for students.

The teachers' resource provides ideas for class discussions and activities that could be used when students have completed the website journey to extend their understanding of biodiversity. The activities have been developed for students working at levels 3 and 4.
