Eagle Engineers
Our Eagle Engineers Program is specifically targeted to Grade 5 and 6 and caters to the curriculum descriptors shown below.
| Geography | Factors that shape places and influence interconnections Data and information |
• examining how the use of space within an area may be influenced by designation of land, for example, national parks, reserves, significant sites (VCGGK096) • creating maps such as flow and choropleth maps, or plans for specific purposes. For example, a flow map to show the connections Australia has with other countries, or a bushfire management plan mapping geographical data using spatial technologies, the location of recent bushfires in Australia, or information they have collected through fieldwork (VCGGC089) • creating small-scale maps to show connections between places (VCGGC089) |
| History | Chronology Continuity and change The Australian colonies |
• placing key events, ideas, movements and people of the twentieth century in chronological sequence (VCHHC082) • creating visual, oral or written journals reflecting the daily life experiences of different inhabitants of a convict or colonial settlement (VCHHC085) • investigating the impact of settlement on the environment, for example, comparing the present and past landscape and the flora and fauna of the local community (VCHHK089) |
| Science | Science as a human endeavour Landforms and landscapes |
• designing shelters for living things that are exposed to changed or harsh environments, for example, as a result of bushfire or displacement (VCSSU073) • researching how the application of principles of prevention, mitigation and preparedness minimises the harmful effects of bushfires or flooding (VCGGK121) |
Total estimated time onsite for each excursion is 2 hours, 15 minutes.
