Stage 2: A virtual lesson on Zoom

• Participate in a play to understand some of the significant events when James Cook sailed into Botany Bay in 1770

• Work as a botanist or botanical artist to create a drawing just as Solander and Parkinson did in 1770

The lesson will be hands-on, educational, fun and interactive. Lessons will be presented by Environmental Education teachers
