Environment+Conference

=Junior Landcare Victorian Youth Environment Conference=

Ten lucky students from Hawkesdale P12 College will participate in the [|2009 Junior Landcare Victorian Youth Environment Conference] in Lorne, on August 4th and 5th. In past years students have attended similar conferences in Mildura, Bendigo, Canberra and Port Fairy. The idea is 'kids teaching kids' about a topic they have researched over the months leading up to the event, and in ways that kids like to learn - hand-on, interactive, with music, stories, costumes, experiments, dancing and art. Here are some of the topics you may like to consider researching for the event:
 * 1) **How do bushfires affect water quality?**
 * 2) **Is desalination a good option to improve our water security?**
 * 3) **Acid sulphate and saline soils - How do they happen?**
 * 4) **Is recycled water safe to drink?**
 * 5) **Acid oceans - What does it mean?**

You may have some other ideas - come and discuss them with me before you start your research.
