Aim
The aim of this program is to provide students with the opportunity to:
- explore a range of issues and themes relating to Australia's environment
- reflect on their knowledge of environmental issues through teamwork, then to explore these themes in greater depth in the gallery.
Outline
The program has two main components:
-
Introduction – working in teams, students explore issues and challenges relating to the Australian environment through a lively quiz show activity.
-
Gallery visit – under the supervision of their teachers, students visit the Old New Land exhibition gallery and, working in pairs, record their examination of environmental issues in a newspaper style format.
As students only visit one exhibition during this program, you may like to allow time to visit other exhibitions and to explore other places in the Museum.
