This George the Farmer Educational Resource aims to raise awareness about plantation forests resources, management, the interrelationships within plantation forests, and farming forests.
Resource description This George the Farmer educational resource is intended as starting points for a cross-curricular approach to learning, based on the George the Farmer YouTube video “George the Farmer Forestry” and its accompanying Virtual Reality (VR) experience ‘George the Farmer Forestry VR’ on YouTube or through the ForestVR app: www.forestlearning.edu.au/forestvr.
The activities seek to complement and extend the enjoyment students will experience from seeing the video and VR, whilst at the same time meeting some of the requirements of curriculum outcomes. The activities in this resource can be printed out for students, or alternatively, display the activity page from the PDF on your electronic white board and have the students use their existing workbooks to complete the task.
