What do you already know about the Earth's resources?

Outcomes

Science: ST1-10ES-S

KWL - What do I know, what do I wonder and what did I learn?

Invite the students to complete the first two columns of a KWL. This activity will provide the students with the opportunity to brainstorm what they know about the content and key inquiry question. It will provide a chance to identify incorrect preconceptions and also provide an assessment opportunity after the completion of the ‘Learn’ column after the excursion.

Some prompting questions could be:

  • What resources does the Earth provide us with?

  • What resources have you used today? Are they natural or made by humans?

  • Do animals also need resources from the Earth?

  • What Earth's resources might we find on our excursion to a National Park?

  • What resources might the GuriNgai people have used when they lived on Country a long time ago?

  • Can resources change over time?
