Geography Environmental change and management
About this excursion
Students will conduct a Geographical inquiry into changes over time in the management and use of the catchment of Lake Albert. They will engage with geographical tools to acquire, process and communicate information to answer inquiry questions about Aboriginal, historic, current and future management of the Lake Albert catchment and differing stateholder perspectives.
Fieldwork can include:
- observing, measuring, collecting and recording data
- fieldwork instruments such as weather instruments and water testing kits
- virtual excursion via a google site
This study can be adapted to investigate a local context in your community to be run as an outreach incursion.
