Year 8 Geographers,
Year 8 Geographers,
You are invited to complete a navigation challenge. This is NOT COMPUSLORY and not part of the school curriculm but highly recommended if you are allowed to get out and walk/ride around your area. It's not easy. I have made it a bit difficult to find the QR code but...not impossible!
*Before you proceed, make sure you have asked permission from your Parent/Guardian and that they know what you are doing.
*Make sure you follow all Road Safety rules and DO NOT ENTER PRIVATE PROPERTY. Be safe and responsible when you are out there at all times and demonstrate your best behaviour.
You can work in pairs, groups or families but the prize will be shared if you win it.
Download your 'Passport' (Word doc) and begin your journey. You will find your co-ordinates and hints in each page of your passport and below
There are 3 levels:
Level 1 - Use the co-ordinates in your Passport (and below) to find and name the locations. Think about ways in which you can find maps.
Once you find them, fill out on your online Passport
1 point per location found
Level 2 - Once you locate these places,
- go to the location
- search for the QR code with the ESC logo
- scan the code
- complete the challenge displayed & upload the photo to your online Passport
6 points per photo (only 1 photo needed per location) - points deducted if you didn't follow the exact instructions
Level 3 - Find the co-ordinates for the following places. Your co-ordinates must fall within the area of the location listed.
The Northern Hospital
Plenty Gorge Park
Lehmann's Farm Park
Creeds Farm Living and Learning Centre
EXTRA CREDIT:
Edgars Creek, Wollert
Darebin Creek, Epping
2 points per co-ordinates - must match the location
Only complete as many as you are allowed to travel to.
Grand prize will be awarded to the student that earns the most points
You can have 1 free HINT from Mrs Mesquita (via Teams chat)
Any other hints will have 2 points deducted so think carefully but there is no limit to the amount of hints you can have.
You can ask for the whole process to be explained further as well (no points deducted)
Your co-ordinates can be found in your Passport but here is a copy of them as well. I have added the tips as well.
