Learning Resources

Hobart Zoo & Aquarium’s Conservation Education Program offers free Prep–Year 6 unit plans aligned with the Australian Curriculum and Tasmania’s Lifting Literacy Framework. Units cover Biological Sciences, Sustainability, Literacy, and HASS, with literacy and critical-thinking skills integrated throughout.

Each unit includes pre- and post-excursion lessons, levelled readings, hands-on activities, trusted resources, and adaptable tasks to support diverse learners. Lessons are structured using Rosenshine’s Principles of Instruction.

The following Six Pillars of Conservation and United Nations Sustainable Development Goals are embedded in our everyday practices to create measurable meaningful outcomes for wildlife, people and the environment.
