Description

 Inquiry learning is enhanced by connections with the community beyond school. (Kath Murdoch 2018)

Wednesday Webinar #8 (5 August) we explore our rich Gold Industry (HASS & Earth Science)

The Gold Industry Group has partnered with Earth Science WA (ESWA) to create its National Gold Education Program featuring free exclusive Gold Resources Kits and interactive gold sessions and experiences. ESWA CEO Jo Watkins will take teachers through interactive class activities available using the Kits, which feature large rock samples, as well as a tour of the Heart of Gold Australia app, including virtual gold trails. 

The most engaging classroom inquiries begin with curiosity and wonderings that often take us wandering outside the classroom to explore, connect with ‘place’, find answers, ask more questions, and learn from experts. Before we venture out, teachers will often ask their students, Who can we ask? Where can we go? In these challenging times with restrictions to our favourite excursion venues, this webinar series will take you to some of our most popular places with online resources, mini-lessons, and virtual experiences to bring the experts into your classroom.

These weekly PL sessions are short, sharp, and perfect for viewing with your colleagues, in the staffroom at lunchtime, or review the recording afterward.

Registrations are essential, as the webinar link will be emailed to you before the day of the webinar, and the recording sent to you after.

Relevant HASS Curriculum links and programming ideas will be presented by Maree Whiteley at each session, followed by time for Q&A  from participants related to the focus topic. 

Other excursion venues in this series include Kings Park (Webinar #1), State Library of WA (Webinar #2), WA Museum (Webinar #3), Water Corporation (Webinar #4), DIY Tech Excursions (Webinar #5), Seven West Media (Webinar #6), Millennium Kids (Webinar #7) and Gold Industry Group (Webinar #8).
