Issues affecting protected places
NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) manages more than 10 per cent of the land in NSW. This includes dealing with the effects of land degradation, feral species, disease, bushfires and impacts from recreational use within NSW national parks.
This Google Slide presentation educates students about natural and human impacts on soil degradation, and how these changes affect the environment.
Recommended for Geography, Stages 3 to 4.
BOLTS mapping principles
Do you want to teach your students about the fundamental features of geographical maps?
This presentation uses the BOLTS acronym to help students remember the five key elements of maps.
Recommended for Geography, Stages 3 to 4.
Teaching Geography tools: Maps
We’ve developed this presentation to engage budding cartographers. It defines:
- What maps are
- Why they’re important
- The different types of maps and their purpose
It also covers the BOLTS acronym, to help students remember the 5 key elements of maps.
Recommended for Geography, Stage 4.
Field sketching guide
Field sketching is an important geographical tool that students can use to record what can be seen at a site. This ‘How to draw a field sketch’ presentation gives field sketch examples, steps and tips to help you teach students the correct and easiest way to draw a field sketch.
Recommended for Geography, Stages 2 to 4.
Understanding climate change
Climate change and its effects on the environment and people can be a difficult concept for students to understand. We’ve developed a presentation that:
- Defines climate change
- Explains the greenhouse effect
- Discusses its causes, impacts and some management strategies
Recommended for Geography and Science, Stages 3 to 4.
How to make a mind map
Making a mind map is a valuable skill that allows students to organise and visualise information. Our presentation breaks down mind mapping into 4 simple steps. It teaches students how they can also use mind maps to organise concepts.
Recommended for Geography, Stage 5.
Fragile ecosystems
Ecosystems are complex and dynamic communities, with many unique features that are sensitive to change. This presentation explores some of the vulnerabilities of our ecosystems, using NSW-based case studies.
Recommended for Science, Stages 4 to 5.
Food chains and webs
Are you teaching your students about food chains and webs? This presentation explains the differences between a food chain and a web. It identifies and explores producers, consumers and decomposers, using native NSW plants and animal life as examples.
Recommended for Science, Stage 4.
