Develop an appreciation and understanding of biological concepts that are used to explore the diversity of life on a depth study tour to New Zealand’s South Island. Explore pristine landscapes teeming with native fauna and flora while undertaking a dedicated study program that will inspire students on their scientific journey. During this program, students engage with leading marine biologists as they are guided through the scientific process of investigation. Students learn how to formulate robust hypotheses that stand up against rigorous methodologies, research, evaluate and review data and understand the importance of bioethics in the context of research and education.

Tour Highlights:

Design and carry out individual investigations on an animal species, understanding its genetic makeup, adaptations and its behaviour in response to abiotic and biotic factors
Take part in surveys and data collection under the guidance of marine biologists
Apply bioethical understanding to practical research with animals
Familiarise themselves and learn how to interpret relevant statistical data
Make connections between their own investigations with biological concepts, models or other research

This program can be tailored to your individual needs. It can also be adapted to other year levels or to be in one location/state. Please contact us for further information.
