High School Teacher
Marine Biologist:
By inviting a Marine Biologist/Conservationist into the class to speak
to students, it allows students to connect with the speaker as it is
someone new and someone who has a vast knowledge of
endangered animals, conservation and the threats animals and the
environment are facing.
High School Teacher (Biologist):
A high school biology teacher would be a good source of knowledge
for students as they would be able to engage and understand the
teacher – it is also beneficial because students are in year 7 as they
will do biology and science in high school.
Aquarium Guide, etc:
An aquarium guide has the ability to make the presentation
interesting and fun, as it is what they do on a daily basis. By having
one of these people come and talk to the students it allows them to
be interested/focused and enjoy learning about endangered animals,
etc.
