Fire
Lower secondary students investigate
ways in which Australian animals and plants have adapted to,
and depend on, bushfires. They compare how people have responded
to bushfire in the past and how land managers use fire today
to manage biodiversity and fire risk. Students draw conclusions
about suitable methods for managing fire-adapted habitats.
 |
Science |
| Students are introduced to fire ecology and apply this
to understand how fire-prone ecosystems and bushfire risk
are managed. |
|
|
Mathematics |
| Students analyse and interpret relevant data to report
on the common causes of bushfire. They interpret sampling
data of small mammals collected over several years before
and after that area experienced a major burn. They make
conclusions based on the data. |
|
|
English |
| Students review, interpret and evaluate a variety of information sources and consider how bushfire information is presented to audiences. |
