Discover where frogs live and what helps them survive there, and learn about the effect of environmental changes on frog populations.

Learn about the different frog species living in Melbourne's distinct waterway ecosystems, and how they've evolved to survive there.

Observe the key features of waterbugs and consider how they are intrinsic to their survival in waterways.

This activity explores the impact of people and stormwater pollution on platypus.

Students focus on the biology and ecology of two threatened frog species, learning how frog populations are managed to enhance recovery.

Focus on sewage treatment at the Western Treatment Plant: the role of sewerage and key processes, benefits of biogas, nitrogen cycle, and dissolved oxygen and aquatic ecosystems.

Focus on bacteria in the sewage treatment process, the effect of aerating water on oxygen, how gravity transports sewage, and chemicals contained in laundry powders and detergents.

These activities explore the different ways waterbugs (macroinvertebrates) obtain their oxygen; students also can identify waterbugs in a sample and draw conclusions about the health of the waterway from the sensitivities of the waterbugs found.

Investigate stormwater processes in your local catchment and how it is managed in Melbourne, including Water Sensitive Urban Design practices.

Discover the historic development of Melbourne’s sewerage system, and the land's importance to Traditional Owners and the urban water cycle.
