S4 Water in the world excursion

Water in the world excursion

Geography

This program can cater for up to 8 classes with advanced notice.

Stage 4 students journey along the Lane Cove River observing various natural water resources and investigating hydrological processes that move water through a catchment. Fieldwork tools and techniques will be used to collect qualitative and quantitative data that will allow students to identify factors influencing water flows and evaluate strategies to manage catchment areas for sustainability. The study site will stimulate student thinking on the value of water to people, with particular reference to Aboriginal perspectives.
