As part of our school education strategy we have developed secondary school classroom activities. These activities have been developed around current areas of research in plant biosecurity and are linked to traditional content taught in secondary school science and agriculture. Each activity comes with background information for teachers, links to science and agriculture curriculum, a lesson outline and worksheets for students. Over the series of activities, students will be exposed to a variety of learning experiences including internet activities, microscope skills, research projects, investigations and case studies.
