Summary

This environmental education resource is designed to give you ideas for planning exciting and experiential learning activities outside the classroom at Lake Okataina. It is one of six specially designed environmental education resources that focus on sites administered by the Department of Conservation in the Bay of Plenty. These 'Super Sites' are ideal for learning about forests, endangered species, lakes and geothermal environments.

This kit provides site location maps, pre-visit and post visit activities for your outdoor education experience and includes safety considerations and background reading for teachers. Curriculum links are provided and a series of teacher's study sheets covering a range of topics pertinent to the area.

This resource can be used alongside the Lake Okataina Scenic Reserve 'super site' resource adding another dimension to your learning trip there. Alternatively it could be used as a basis for studying and making comparisons with Lake Rotorua.
