Variety of Life: Biodiversity

This workshop explores the wide range of species that we have living globally and locally in our waters. We’ll start by establishing a means of grouping organisms creating our own set of classifications, then head out onto the beach and rockpools putting these rules into action. We will then classify everything we have found as a group and begin to discuss the dynamics there could be between them e.g., predator/prey, interspecific competition etc. Finally, we’ll create a 3D map of the ecosystems exploring all the dynamics that exist.

We will happily adapt and modify workshops to suit your requirements.

This is a hands - on activity that can have an outdoor component. We recommend that all attendees wear appropriate clothing and shoes that are suitable for walking in water and on rocks or waterproof boots, such as wellies. The rocks and seaweed can be slippery, so take care when exploring.
