Bio-Protection Modules
These learning resources explore issues around sustainable agriculture and environmental protection. Current student resources support learning for Years 7-10 and Year 13 students.
About the learning resources
These learning resources explore issues around sustainable agriculture and environmental protection. Linking to curriculum objectives, the resources are centred on stories of New Zealand scientists working in this field. Resources are provided to enable teachers to learn about this work in order to use the stories of scientists from the Bio-Protection Research Centre in their classroom learning programmes. Current student resources support learning for Years 7-10 and Year 13.
We are currently seeking funding to extend these resources into full learning modules for middle-school classes.
