Schools Tree Day - Investigate a local issue
Investigate A Local Issue! Students investigate a local biodiversity issue within their community. They use a range of local sources to find out what their community is most passionate about. As a result of their investigation students are empowered to undertake positive action in their local environment. #coolaustralia #education #teaching #teach #classroom #teacher #schoolstreeday #biodiversity #outdoorlearning #science #mathematics #english
Outdoor Learning - Angles In The Trees - Cool Australia
Angles In The Trees! During this lesson students investigate, estimate, identify and classify angles in the outdoors in preparation for furthering their understanding of geometry. They apply their understanding of angles to the real world by identifying a range of angles in their local environment. #coolaustralia #education #teaching #teach #classroom #teacher #geometry #maths #outdoors #secondary
Love Food? Love Bees! - Bees, Pollination and Food
Love Food? Love Bees! Pollination and Food - Years 5 & 6! In this lesson, students will be introduced to the connection between bees, flowering plants and food through a range of activities. #coolaustralia #education #teaching #teach #classroom #teacher #science #sustainability #english #economics #business #maths
Love Food? Love Bees! - Beauty of Bees
Love Food? Love Bees! Beauty of Bees - Year 5 & 6! Bees pollinate at least a third of everything we eat and play a vital role in sustaining our ecosystems, therefore they need to be valued and protected. In this lesson, art and mathematics are combined to make a visual wall display using the grid enlargement method. #coolaustralia #education #teaching #teach #classroom #teacher #sustainability #arts #maths #bees
Schools Tree Day - Schoolyard food webs
Schoolyard Food Webs! In this activity students explore the idea of food webs by undertaking a nature survey and identifying the role each organism plays in their schoolyard food web. Students are asked to record both indigenous and introduced species and how their presence affects the health and balance of the schoolyard food web. #coolaustralia #education #teaching #teach #classroom #teacher #schoolstreeday #biodiversity #outdoorlearning #science #mathematics
Schools Tree Day - Biodiversity challenge
Biodiversity Challenge! Students design their own investigation to record biodiversity in their school grounds. They will decide on strategies to investigate species diversity and ecosystem diversity. Their goal is to find out if there are relationships between species diversity and different habitats (mini ecosystems). #coolaustralia #education #teaching #teach #classroom #teacher #schoolstreeday #biodiversity #outdoorlearning #science #mathematics
Schools Tree Day - Patterns in nature
Patterns In Nature! Students use their observation skills in a structured way to explore our environment. Your class will explore some of the amazing colours, shapes, patterns and textures that can be found in nature, especially in trees. The class will take a nature walk around the school or a nearby park. #coolaustralia #education #teaching #teach #classroom #teacher #schoolstreeday #biodiversity #outdoorlearning #science #mathematics #patterns #nature
Outdoor Learning - Stem and Leaf Graphs - Cool Australia
Tree Tally! During this lesson students collect data on the trees in their schoolyard. They compare results and discuss possible reasons for different results taken from the same population. They take their learning outside and collect authentic data that they can draw real conclusions from. #coolaustralia #education #teaching #teach #classroom #teacher #maths #outdoors #trees #environment #secondary
Outdoor Learning - Perimeter And Area in The Schoolyard - Year 8 - Cool Australia
Perimeter And Area in The Schoolyard! During this lesson students investigate, estimate, identify and classify shapes in the outdoors. They use their knowledge of different shapes to practise their measurement skills while observing their school environment in a different way. #coolaustralia #education #teaching #teach #classroom #teacher #maths #outdoors #science #perimeter #area #secondary
Outdoor Learning - Mini-beast Quadrant Sampling
Mini Beasts Maths! During this lesson students will design and carry out a survey, collecting data on the mini-beast populations of the schoolyard. Students are asked to collect and analyse data from a primary source and draw conclusions in the context of the situation. They will practise creating stem-and-leaf plots using authentic data that they have collected from their local environment. #coolaustralia #education #teaching #teach #classroom #teacher #maths #outdoors #secondary
Outdoor Learning - What Do You See? - Year 9 - Cool Australia
What Do You See? During this lesson students calculate experimental two-step probability using observations from their schoolyard. They will consider why certain events are more or less likely to occur and suggest ways to increase the probability of observing particular living things. #coolaustralia #education #teaching #teach #classroom #teacher #outdoors #maths #science #probability
Outdoor Learning - Volume - Cool Australia
Outside With Perimeter, Area And Volume! During this lesson students investigate, measure and use formulas outdoors in preparation for furthering their understanding in the topic of geometry. They apply their understanding of perimeter, area and volume to real world situations by looking for and recording a range of shapes around their school. #coolaustralia #education #teaching #teach #classroom #teacher #outdoors #science #maths #perimeter #samplingarea
Outdoor Learning - Biodiversity Index - Year 8 - Cool Australia
Biodiversity Index! During this lesson students head outside to collect and analyse data about the biodiversity in their schoolyard and consider the implications of population sampling. They are asked to compare the biodiversity index of their area with other areas and calculate a total average for the schoolyard. #coolaustralia #education #teaching #teach #classroom #teacher #biodiversity #maths #science #outdoors
Outdoor Learning - What is a biodiversity index? - Cool Australia
Census or Sample? During this lesson students collect data about the biodiversity of their schoolyard. Using this data they calculate the biodiversity index of the area of the schoolyard they personally analysed and compare this with other areas around the school to calculate a total average for the schoolyard. #coolaustralia #education #teaching #teach #classroom #teacher #maths #outdoors #sample #census #secondary
Outdoor Learning - Nature Patterns - Foundation - Cool Australia
Nature Patterns! During this lesson students identify and explore different types of patterns. They work in pairs to collect natural items from the outdoor learning space. Students create repeating patterns using natural items, which the teacher can photograph. #coolaustralia #education #teaching #teach #classroom #teacher #outdoors #nature #patterns #primary #maths
