Year 11 Taranaki Landscape




March 4th 2009 Year 11 Taranaki Landscape Fieldtrip

107 Year 11 students accompanied by Mr Vernon, Hewlett and Corlett, travelled to Mount Taranaki, to study the hypothesis, that "Landscape, changes significantly as altitude increases".
The students completed a range of experiments at two sites, the first at 600m from sea level and the second 1200m on the slopes of Mount Taranaki. A number of experiments were carried out on vegetation, relief, soil, climate and the impact of humans on the landscape. The aim of the fieldtrip was to collect data so that they can successfully complete their NCEA internal geography inquiry.
