Auseco have been a leading Geography and Science Fieldtrip Educator for over 40 years to schools across NSW. Now they are reaching out to provide these excellent opportunities to Homeschoolers.
Description
Join us for a hands-on day of outdoor learning at Oatley Park, where Geography and Science come together through practical fieldwork, exploration and discovery.
Students will investigate Sydney’s sandstone bushland and ecosystems using real fieldwork equipment to collect data, test environmental conditions and explore how living things interact with their environment.
Designed for Stage 3 and Stage 4 homeschool students, this excursion provides an opportunity to learn outdoors, work alongside other homeschool students and experience Geography and Science in a real-world setting.
What we’ll do
- Investigate Sydney’s Hawkesbury Sandstone landscape and how it was formed
- Use topographic maps and field sketching to explore landscapes and landforms
- Measure biotic and abiotic factors using scientific field equipment to understand how ecosystems function
- Examine plant adaptations that help species survive in bushland environments
- Search for insects, spiders and other bushland invertebrates using identification charts to explore biodiversity and the role of decomposers in ecosystems
- Investigate how people have changed and managed the environment
- Collect and interpret real-world environmental data
- Meet and learn alongside other homeschool students
