Life Skills

Below are some modified resources related for Biophysical Environments that might be useful for students completing a Life Skills version of the course.

HSIE Life Skills syllabus

In Geography students will:
  1. develop knowledge and understanding about the characteristics and distribution of environments
  2. develop knowledge and understanding about the processes that form and transform the features
    and patterns of the environment
  3. develop knowledge and understanding about global and local forces which impact on people,
    urban places and economic activity
  4. develop knowledge and understanding about ecosystems and the geographical nature of
    challenges facing Australia and the world
  5. use geographical tools and develop skills to investigate and communicate geographically

Outcomes:
GLS1 explores the features of a range of environments
GLS2 investigates the spatial relationships in a range of environments 
GLS3 explores the relationships between geographical processes and physical environments
GLS4 explores the interrelationships between people s activities and physical environments 
GLS5 identifies factors that influence where people live and work
GLS6 uses knowledge of an environment to plan and undertake travel 
GLS7 investigates economic activity in a range of places
GLS8 explores the nature of development and change at a range of scales 
GLS9 researches an ecosystem at risk
GLS10 explores key geographical issues and challenges facing Australia and the world 
GLS11 uses geographical tools and skills 
GLS12 uses strategies to gather, investigate and communicate geographical information
