Scitech offers guided curriculum-linked experiences for schools visiting the BHP Exhibition Gallery.

MAP YOUR WORLDTerm 4 2018 and Term 1 2019

Years 7 - 12

In this feature exhibition students will complete a quest across land and sea to ‘Map your World’. Different mapping skills are used as they play a giant game of battleship, use sonar to scan their friends, pilot a simulated underwater vehicle or escape a virtual building. They will see the world in a new way – as layers of information.

Mathematics provides the framework to map our surroundings, allowing us to locate ourselves and navigate around our world. Maps are a rich source of information, representing data about our location and helping us to understand the world around us.
