Australian Curriculum Geography – Unit 1: Landscapes and Landforms – see matrix for more details.
Program overview
Students visit Bunyaville Conservation Park to undertake a case study of forest and riverine landscapes. Using a variety of hands-on methods, students collect primary data to explore spatial variation and patterns in relation to:
- Geomorphic processes
- Abiotic parameters
- Biotic processes
- Anthropogenic effects and their impact
- Care and management of a conservation area
The collected data is used to make considered decisions about the state of the environment and to draw conclusions about changes over time and their consequences. These observations are used to inform findings around a key inquiry question developed before the excursion.
