The following is a virtual fieldwork program to support Module 4 of the Year 11 Biology syllabus: Module 4 - Ecosystem Dynamics. This program can support the 15 hour depth study syllabus requirement. The inquiry question you will be studying is: What effect can one species have on the other species in a community?
This site is designed to supplement a fieldwork excursion with Brewongle EEC. There is sample data in the Fieldwork section which can be utilised to prepare students for their excursion and for students to compare their data against.
Step 1 - Download the Student Fieldwork Booklet and save in to your own drive before you begin. Or utilise this excellent Google Doc variation created by Carlingford High School. Please make your own copy before editing.
Step 2 - Use the top menu on this site or the next page buttons to navigate through the activities, completing each of the pre-visit tasks in your Student Fieldwork Booklet. You will complete the Fieldwork tasks at Brewongle, but may like to compare your data against the example results given in the Fieldwork section of this site.
