Learning activities
With a focus on fieldwork inquiry and tools students will investigate, measure and record data to further their understanding of environmental change and management.
Students will commence the day acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land and observe historical change that has transformed the Lane Cove River into what we see today. Students will conduct geographical inquiry to investigate the consequences of human-induced environmental change
- Water contamination
- students use water testing equipment to assess water quality and draw conclusions on the consequences for aquatic ecosystems.
- students conduct litter surveys and measure environmental variables to determine the processes that lead to marine plastic pollution.
- Biodiversity decline - students will walk through remnant eucalypt forests to conduct a habitat survey, observe conservation strategies in place and conduct a belt transect to sample introduced species (weeds).
Traditional and contemporary management will be observed and discussed.
This program will enhance student personal capabilities, ethical understanding and workplace skills.
