Year 11 Biology field trip to Flowerdale Lagoon

On Thursday 23 February Year 11 Biology undertook a field trip to Flowerdale Lagoon. During the two lessons we were at Flowerdale the students performed quadrat and transect analysis of the area and collected the data from soil and water tests. This was an important field trip which allowed the students to demonstrate their knowledge and understanding of the biotic and abiotic factors in a local ecosystem, and to understand first hand, the interrelationships within that lagoon ecosystem.The students were a credit to themselves as they undertook this task with focus and consideration and awareness of the environment.
