Resource information
The teacher articulates how student experts plan and communicate with other students, in both a partner school in Indonesia, and with their peers. Students have developed their own Quick Response (QR) markers to interpret local scientific features in English and Indonesian. Student experts lead younger student groups along a bilingual nature trail interpreting the history, flora, fauna and geology of the Knocklofty trail.
Lansdowne Crescent Primary School is a Foundation to Year 6 school with approximately 400 students. The school has adopted an approach to teaching science that promotes collaboration with experts in the local community and encourages students to take responsibility for their learning through peer teaching program delivery.
