Careers inquiry Adelaide
Key inquiry questions What skills and attitudes do you need to work at a zoo?
What type of career opportunities exist at the zoo and
other animal-based organisations?
Why do people work at the zoo and what learning
pathways did they take?
Your investigation Investigate different careers at a Zoo and use your smart
phone, iPad or other Bluetooth enabled device* to record
questions and any other information that may help you do
research into Zoo-based careers.
Your task Visit locations shown on the map. Listen to the recorded interviews on the App and read the information.
Record questions and other information on your device. You will meet at the Education Centre for a careers
presentation where you can ask questions to find out more. The Adelaide Zoo App will record audio, video,
images and text that you can take back to school and use later to investigate animal based careers.
