Curriculum content descriptions
evaluate geographical data and information to make generalisations and predictions, explain patterns and trends and infer relationships (AC9HG10S03)
Elaborations
- developing generalisations; for example, critically analysing text and images for their meaning and significance, such as satellite images showing before and after deforestation in the Amazon or contrasting nightlife in North and South Korea
- explaining patterns and trends; for example, explaining why a vegetation corridor for movement of koalas assists them to traverse through the bush and reduce death rates, or whether there has been an increased use of technology such as satellite images, drones and robots during and after a natural disaster to identify the need for aid
- inferring relationships between key environmental indicators and sustainability of places at the national scale; for example, using a geospatial technologies application to create a map of Australia and another country to show measures of environmental change such as air quality, freshwater quality, fish resources, energy use, biodiversity or waste generation
