GTA NSW&ACT Symposium 2022

I’m very excited to be part of the Geography Teachers Association of NSW & ACT Symposium: Showcasing STEM in Geography.

My presentation includes a real world example of in-school fieldwork with my year 8 class at Hills Grammar, Sydney. I have a strongwomen focus on physical geography and link this fieldwork to the Stage 4 Syllabus, Water in the World. The investigation follows the scientific method and students participate in data collection at the school’s playing field. Other links to STEM include the application of numeracy and mathematical equations as well as engineering where we apply the runoff coefficient to the permeable surfaces.
