Teachers
A visit to the Australian Cotton Centre will prove to be a very worthy experience, both for teachers and students. Therefore to enhance this experience the Australian Cotton Centre has created a full education program.
The Australian Cotton Centre will provide students with a fun and interactive introduction to the cotton industry. The education kit includes a range of in-exhibition and in-class activities that relate well to a number of curriculum areas.
The Australian cotton industry is soundly based on scientific research, uses leading edge technology for crop and farm management and has taken on the challenge of finding environmentally sustainable practices.
The exhibition covers the story of cotton from field to fabric, and a visit could be a part of studies in science, agriculture, environment, technology, mathematics, the arts and english.
The Teachers Resource Pack includes:
- Bus Subsidy application form
(Cotton Australia has made it possible for schools, especially those outside of Narrabri to apply for a subsidy to assist with coach travel. P.O.A)
- Summary of Exhibits
- Web addresses for useful sites
- Activity sheets for use during your visit
(three primary and three secondary)
