2022 / 2023 Senior Secondary Biology Field Trip

Field Course in Ho Koon Campus

3. Big secret of the cow dung microhabitat

Cow dung is a unique microhabitat with obvious physical changes in different stages. Depending on its freshness, the type and number of organisms living inside the cow dung vary. Students learn about the micro-succession in cow dung by observing and recording the organisms in the sample collected.

Online Learning Platform for Biology Field Study

moodle.hokoon.edu.hk

HKNEAC opens an online learning platform account for teachers and students participating in the course. Before participating in the course, students may log in to the platform to learn more about relevant knowledge, concepts, and skills, and complete the quizzes. The platform will automatically record the learning progress and scores of each student so that teachers can keep track of the learning situation of each student.

 

Depending on the needs of teachers and students, teachers participating in the courses may choose from the following learning methods:

  • Watch the video clips and collect data (students learn by themselves without the restriction of time and space)
  • ZOOM live-streaming (collecting data during the field trip, performing statistical analysis, or conducting report review as scheduled)
  • Face to Face Courses (half-day field trip within HKNEAC or 1~3-day field trip off campus)
