本會及香港戶外生態教育協會合辦免費課程 -【新高中生物科一天考察課程 – 探索城市螞蟻多樣性】，並得到漁農自然護理署資助。【新高中生物科一天考察課程 – 探索城市螞蟻多樣性】是一個特別為新高中生物科而設計的一天戶外考察課程。

 

這課程以城市中最為常見的昆蟲—螞蟻為主題，透過分別考察市區和郊區的螞蟻多樣性、生態和其相應的生境，認識本港生物多樣性，並達至學科學習和環境教育之效。

 

本計劃共分三部分：

一）大專生義工訓練 — 透過講座及戶外考察，成為中學教師培訓與中學生考察義工；

二）中學教師培訓 — 透過研討會及戶外考察，學習透過科學探究法探索城市生態；

三）中學生考察課程 — 在本會導師及大專生義工的帶領下進行考察

 

大專生義工訓練詳情

包括一次半天室內講座，以及一次全天戶外考察。講座內容主要涵蓋環境教育、生物多樣性及螞蟻生態三大範疇，裝備參加者進行考察及帶領活動所需的基本知識。戶外考察將到訪大埔滘自然護理區、香港大學及龍虎山郊野公園，透過到不同生境考察及之後的數據分析和討論，認識香港螞蟻的生態和分佈。參加者完成訓練後，可以成為之後中學教師培訓與中學生考察的義工。

Jointly organized by Outdoor Wildlife Learning Hong Kong (OWLHK) and us, the FREE Field Study Programme on NSS Biology – Exploring the Urban Ant Diversity is sponsored by the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department. The Programme is characterized by outdoor field study specially designed for the NSS Biology Curriculum. Learning about ants in urban and suburban area, subject learning and environmental education can be achieved through studying ants as part of Hong Kong biodiversity and ecology.

 

 The Programme consists of 3 sub-programmes: 

1) Volunteer Training for Tertiary Students; 

2) Training Workshops for Secondary School Teachers; and 

3) Field Study Programme for Secondary Students.

 

“Volunteer Training for Tertiary Students” includes a half-day seminar and a full-day outdoor field study training. Seminars mainly covers aspects on environmental education, biodiversity and ant ecology. Participants can acquire basic knowledge required for field studies and organizing activities of similar kind. Field study training will include visits to Tai Po Kau Nature Reserve, The University of Hong Kong and Lung Fu Shan Country Park. Through reviewing data collected from different habitats, participants will be familiarized with ecology and distribution of ant species in Hong Kong. By completing the training programme, participants can participate in “Training Workshops for Secondary School Teachers” and “Field Study Programme for Secondary Students” as volunteers.
