Elaborations

• • Elaboration developing a range of questions to investigate why a geographical phenomenon has changed or why a challenge may arise; for example, “Why is food security important?”, “What are sources of food in Australia?”, “How are people, places and environments connected?”
• • Elaboration developing and modifying questions to sharpen the focus of an investigation using concepts or scale of study; for example, “Why is the security and sustainability of food production important at the national scale?”, “How can bush food become a sustainable nutritional source of food in Australia?”, “How can connections between people, environments and places affect the sustainability of places at the global scale?”
• • Elaboration planning an investigation of a geographical phenomenon or challenge being studied at a range of scales, using digital tools; for example, the diverse types of biomes modified by humans for food and non-food products at a national and global scale, or the different types of connections between people and places at local, national and global scales
