A
number of supporting teaching resources have been developed for
Project Forest. (For examples of each of these resources click on
the highlighted words or on the appropriate tag.) These include
overview resources for each
of the 10 Key Ideas for forest studies. These overview resource
booklets provide information about forest ecology, forest management
and forest issues as well as an overview of the changes in technological
within the timber industry from the 1820s to the 1990s. A particularly
Tasmanian focus is maintained throughout. Included in these resources
are a complete checklist of Tasmanian native fauna, including the
invertebrate groups, a literature review of print and visual texts
that can support each of the Key Ideas and a set of colour and black
line masters of all maps that appear in the resource booklets.
A
set of historical posters
outlining the nature of life and work in Tasmanian forests during
the 19th century are included in the resources. These prints have
explanatory notes attached and also include some oral history
extracts.
A
set of 13 Technology Posters
directly supporting the Technology learning area component of
Project Forest.
Videos
and posters,
as described in the Print and Visual Texts resource, are available
on loan from the Education Department Media Centre in Hobart.
School interested in purchasing any of these should contact one
of the Education Officers.
