TRIP PREPERATION & ASSESSMENT TASK WEATHER “There is no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather.” “There is no such thing as bad weather, Only bad clothing.” Bureau of Meteorology website at http://www.bom.gov.au WEATHER HIGHS - Highs are generally GOOD - Clear sky, little wind, settled weather… LOWS - Say goodbye to the sunny skies ! - Say hello to likelihood of stronger winds and rain - Rain, showers or strong winds usually associated with Lows. WEATHER FRONTS Front = zone of transition between two air masses Cold front: cold air advances under warm air Steep slope; heavy rain Warm front: warm air advances over cold air. Slope of front gentle. Rainfall light & widespread. How to be a better participant Write down… - What you think an effective Participant is ? - 3 characteristics of an effective Participant are…. - 3 characteristics of an ineffective Participant are…. Reactive - Reactive people often affected by their PHYSICAL environment. Eg. Weather: - Weather affects their attitude and performance. Proactive Proactive people take their weather with them. - If their value is ‘to enjoy themselves or to be an effective participant’ then the weather is irrelevant. - “I know it’s pissin’ rain, but what a great day’ Some guesses as to an effective participant.

Sample food list Ideas? Minimal Impact Discuss… Assessment Assessment Task Due Date: 18th of June Journal/Nature Diary Individually you will be required to record observations and reflections. The processing of this experience is a powerful way to accelerate learning. You will be required to make daily recordings in your trip journals. Assessment OES Journal/Nature Diary 1. Describe the environment you are in? You must refer to the following: - Season - Weather - Comparing pre-trip forecast from BOM to your weather experience on the trip. - Flora & fauna - Other features evident in the landscape. How do they shape your journey or route? What impact did they have on your experience? 2. Using a digital camera, you are to record and describe some of the short term changes you have observed during your practical experience. Example: Coastal – Tide, Arid – Day-Night Alpine – Fire Assessment 3. With use of field guides, provide at least 1 of the following for each environment visited: - Annotated sketch (flora & fauna). - Digital photo (flora & fauna). - Vegetation strata. 4. What aspects of the environment did you enjoy or were meaningful for you, and why? 5. Were there any limitations that you found affected your learning about the environment visited? 6. What would you change for next trip? (food, clothing, equipment?)
