YEAR 7-8 SECTIONDil A cti vitiestagiSTAGE 4 – DIGITAL ACTIVITYRANDOM EVENTS IN PYTHONYou can use Python to create some code to choose oneof the positive or negative bene昀椀ts in the ConservationCrisis! game.You could do this by assigning a number to the event(say 0 for negative and 1 for positive) and then usingthe function random.randint(0,1) to choose an integerof either 1 or 0. This is like 昀氀ipping a coin to choosefrom two options in real life. Or, you could create theentire list of events as a set of data and use random.choice to choose a data point from a list. This is likerolling dice to choose a speci昀椀c event. Watch a tutorial on using Python for randomnumbers and choices to get started: Python Random numbers and choices You can also follow this tutorial in the githubrepository.

Select a feral species and research when, where andwhy they were introduced, the damage they causeand the current measures taken to control them.Are these measures successful or not? Are there anysuggestions you could make to reduce the damagecaused by the feral species? Species include cats,pigs, foxes, horses, cane toads and camels. Conduct your own research on a speci昀椀c successfulproject that has protected a speci昀椀c species.Examples include: pygmy blue-tongue, greater bilby,numbat, western quoll. Meet scientists using technology and biology tounderstand species loss: Dr Vanessa Pirotta (whalesnot) and Dr Jodi Rowley (FrogID). Write a seriesof questions you could ask them in an interview tolearn more about the amazing work they do lookingafter animals. Examine the role of zoos, botanic gardens, andnational and marine parks in maintaining speciesdiversity. How do they help protect our endangeredspecies? Take photos of di昀昀erent habitats using a drone.SPECIES SURVIVAL – MORE THAN JUST SUSTAINABILITY51
