Dynamic Earth
Students explore geology by looking at rock types and formations that make up our local landscapes. They research rock and mineral creation before investigating mining methods that support Australia's economy. Students participate in group tasks and class discussions along with their workbook notes that will complement their assessment tasks.
By the end of Level 8 students can compare processes of rock formation, including the time scales involved, and analyse how the sustainable use of resources depends on the way they are formed and cycle through Earth systems.
