Camden Park EEC and Elizabeth Macarthur Agricultural Institute

Our school is located on a property known as the Elizabeth Macarthur Agricultural Institute (EMAI).The property is used as the Department of Industry and Investments main research institute and is managed as a typical NSW grazing property. That means that on this farm, you will find animals and crops that provide us with a variety of raw materials and products that we all use every day of our lives.

Learning Intentions

This site contains information and learning activities to compliment the study of the Material World strand of the Science and Technology Syllabus , with the "Food and Fibre - Production" on line resource as offered by Camden Park EEC for Stage 1 and Stage 2 students. The information and activities may form either pre visit preparation or post visit assessment opportunities, as well as assist in achieving learning outcomes in a classroom setting in the absence of a physical visit to our centre.

Teachers and students may work through this site together or students work independently, and complete the associated research tasks included at the bottom of each page.
