            • To understand the implications of parenting and leadership.
            • To investigate the correlation between number of eggs vs parental care.
            • To investigate why lower ranked organisms lay millions of eggs.

            AO Coverage:

            Success Criteria: I can/have...

            • successfully look after an egg for the first couple of days.
            • build a egg carrier to house and carry my egg around in.
            • Investigated the relationship between number of eggs laid and parental care.
