Teaching Resource Guide
This teaching resource guide has been designed around an inquiry-based model to assist with incorporating the 2024 Eco-challenge within the classroom. Students learn key STEAM and life skills through inquiry-based learning, and we hope this resource compliments your teaching. We have provided subject specific Australian curriculum codes (ACARA 9.0) and have provided ways to adapt this to international curriculum outcomes at the end of this document. We have also aligned this eco-challenge to 9 of the UN global sustainable development goals.
Water Quality Investigation
During this unit, students will cover: The water cycle of coastal aquatic environments, A/biotic data collection comparing three aquatic environments, discussion of how water quality is influenced by various biotic and abiotic factors, identification of a/biotic influences on environmental conditions and impacts to the three environments.
Snorkeling Pool Skills Assessment
Use this snorkeling skills assessment to assess the competency of students prior to conducting aquatic practices.
Future Leaders: Eco Project
This Eco Project has been designed for students to explore the current and future issues facing the Great Barrier Reef through the lens of a future STEAM-focused role.
The aim of the project is for students to select a future job profile and showcase how they could apply their future skillset towards managing and protecting the health and longevity of the Reef.
Assessing coral bleaching events on the Great Barrier Reef
Discover how the Reef Authority, together with our science and management partners, assess the extent, severity and prevalence of coral bleaching events on the Great Barrier Reef. From outer space to underwater, you will see the complex monitoring and reporting that happens before, during and after a coral bleaching event.
