Скачать или смотреть Year 11 Biology Reef Excursion

Year 11 Biology students explored the Great Barrier Reef recently thanks to Reef Magic Tours and GBR Biology. They visited the Marine World pontoon at Moore Reef, collected data, viewed current research projects and coral rehabilitation farms, went on snorkelling and semi-submersible tours, fed the fish, visited the underwater observatory and attended information sessions by Indigenous sea rangers and marine biologists.

The visit was to prepare the students for part of their Year 12 course in Biology, where they will be studying biodiversity and ecological sampling methods. With Year 11 exams over, the students have now commenced study on this topic and will use data collected from their ‘Eye on the Reef Key Indicator Species Swim’ to perform Simpson’s Diversity Index calculations in preparation for their first assessment in Year 12.

Thank you to Biology teacher, Mr Radburnd, for organising the excursion, and also creating the video to share with our college community.
