Coastal Resources Fieldwork 16 March and 19 and 16th March
Year 10 Students from Mowbray College will be travelling to the Marine Discovery Centre in Queenscliffe where they will spend two days learning about our dwindling marine fishing resources. Students will investigate current fishing practives around the globe, look at the spawning sites of many commercial species off the Victorian coast, understand how the ecosystem along Victoria's coastline works, analyse the impact fishing is having on this resource and suggest solutions.
To this end they will be involved in a snorkel off Quenscliffe, investigation of the surrouding sea grass beds and mud flats. Year 11 students will investigate coastal processes and the influence of human activity on normal coastal processes from; the sand buget to intertidal and dune flora and fauna. |

Ocean Currents (During Swim Program Dec 00)
Children assemble in two lines facing each other in pool(6-8 in each line). One child in turn has a go at swimming between the the two assembled lines whilst each child in the line has a kickboard which they are using to create a current. It is very simple but a lot of fun in experiencing swimming in a current filled ocean environment. |

Cut out the fish and glue to a piece of blue construction paper. Embellish the background with brightly coloured shells, seaweed, rock and small fish, drawn in oil pastel. |

Bins not gutters
Take students for a walk around the black asking them to observe and record all rubbish they see in the gutters and drains. Share lists and record on card trips. As a group use these strips to organise rubbish into groups according to type plastics, paper, foodstuff, metal etc. Talk to students about how our street drains eventually end up in the sea and ask them to suggest how the different types of rubbish might affect that environment and the living things in it.
Record student suggestions and as a class create a chart showing how rubbish thrown down in Richmond affects the sea kilometres away. ask students to work individually or in pairs to create Powerpoint presentation or Publisher poster that will show people why they need to put their rubbish in the bins and not in the gutters.
