Introduction
Introduction
The idea of this project is for the students to experience and appreciate nature. The site visit will allow the students to be part of nature to observe and collect information. Students will have to represent their findings and information as an info graphic pop up poster and their experience through a simple documentary video. This project will not just benefit the students in this class, but it will spark awareness and inspiration to others around the world once they share it on YouTube and on their online TGC Portfolio.

Tasks – Methodology
INTRODUCTION
The main tasks of this project are to explore, experience, and appreciate the natural habitat during the site visit. In groups students will then have to transfer these experiences and information collected from the site on to the info graphic pop up poster and a 5-7 minute documentary video. Students will need to use their creative thinking skills knowledge to create an original and interactive info graphic exhibition booth and the documentary video. The info graphic exhibition booth will concentrate on the habitat and ecosystem. The Documentary Video should focus on the student’s experience at site, their concise understanding of the habitat and ecosystem and to include an awareness message.
Individually students are required to produce a scrapbook journal of their experiences and information collected at site.
In brief, the main tasks are;
A. Site Visit – Exploring, Experiencing and Appreciating Nature to collect data– Group Work

Feel (how do you feel emotionally, the heat or the wind, fresh air in the morning, the texture of things around you like the tree branch etc) e. Taste (try some fruits, the food provided) NOTE: Take pictures, record video, tabulate the information on a schedule, sketch and take notes.
