Year Three

Melbourne Museum and IMAX Excursion

In Term Two, our Year Three students have been inquiring into the central idea, ‘Natural forces and human activity change the Earth’s physical features’, as part of the transdisciplinary theme How the world works.

This experience allowed students to explore Earth’s physical features and the powerful forces that shape our planet. The immersive IMAX film brought natural disasters and landform changes to life on the big screen, deepening students' understanding of how natural forces such as earthquakes, volcanoes, and erosion impact the Earth’s surface.
