1.1. Year 7

1.2. Year 8

1.3. Year 9

1.3.1. ACSSU176

1.3.1.1. Field studies at the park to discover the local biodiversity and any species that need protection

1.3.1.2. Natural history books and surveys to determine how park species interact in the ecosystem

1.3.2. ACSSU179

1.3.2.1. Study how a fire impacts the ecosystem --> combustion as energy transfer out of the system

1.3.3. ACSSU180

1.3.3.1. Australia's unique biodiversity is due in part to its unique history --> plate tectonics & biogeography

1.3.4. ACSHE228

1.3.4.1. People enjoy the use of parks for recreation; this must be balanced against protection of natural and cultural resources

1.3.5. ACSIS174

1.3.5.1. Communicate to a variety of audiences: management plan (government); interpretative materials (public); blogs (school mates)

2.3.1. ACMSP227

2.3.1.1. Field studies of population biology at the Park including indices for estimating total population numbers based on a quadrant survey

2.3.2. ACMSP228

2.3.2.1. Field studies of habitat and diversity include both categorical and numerical values

2.3.3. ACMSP282

2.3.3.1. Learning to use different graphs to display the different data and learning to interpret these graphs

2.3.4. ACMSP283

2.3.4.1. Comparing data across different areas of the park to determine which areas need more management and which most important to preserve
