• • Elaboration investigating how First Nations Australians use science to meet their needs, such as food and water supply and shelter
• • Elaboration recognising how First Nations Australians use changes in the landscape and the sky to answer questions about when to gather certain resources
• • Elaboration learning from local ecologists or wildlife carers about native animals’ needs and how they observe animal behaviour to design supports for them to meet those needs, such as building frog and insect hotels and nesting boxes or recycling materials to provide habitat
• • Elaboration sharing examples of how they have used science knowledge at home, such as by listening to or viewing weather forecasts or observing weather patterns when planning family events or outings, or wearing appropriate clothing for the season
