New unit! Bushfire Resistant Housing (Year 7 & 8)
With bushfires increasingly threatening houses and
communities, many people are beginning to turn their thinking towards bushfire-resistant building standards as a way of combatting the impact of bushfires.
This unit of real-world learning invites students to consider these options, taking them on a journey through the design process of defining problems and their human impact, conducting research, designing practical solutions, and reflecting on their efforts.
