CMIS Evaluation

The Ribbons of Blue Program is conducting a competition for Primary and Secondary School students in which students are asked to create a ‘fantasy’ creature to represent a macroinvertebrate aquatic mini-beast. These almost invisible creatures are found in all waterways.

The model must be accompanied by background information such as habitat, lifecycle, habits and pollution sensitivity. Students will need to research one of the tiny creatures to add the information.
A competition flyer is available from the website.

Entries are divided into three categories :  Junior Primary (K-3; Primary (Yr 4-7); High School (Yr 8 -12) and should be sent to regional Ribbons of Blue coordinators – see website – before 26 September 2008.

Teachers can incorporate the competition and Ribbons of Blue program into classroom science activities using the Life and living Outcome.
