Lower Secondary Geographical Investigation
In Geography, the Lower Secondary students were able to meaningfully examine the rainforest environment in Dairy Farm Nature Park and conduct site observation surveys at Bangkit Housing Estate for their investigations. The Secondary Two fieldwork process culminated with the design of their ‘Dream Neighbourhood’, enabling them to use their creativity and imagination to work towards better quality of life and town sustainability in their proposed neighbourhoods.

Student Reflection
​
Through this geographical investigation, I learned how to craft questions that are related to my hypothesis, as well as how to use google forms to collect data.
​
To improve our investigation, my group could do an in-person observation of the elderly to collect data. For example, I could stand at a supermarket and see areas in which the elderly needed help and also ask them what can be improved so that my data would be more focused on the elderly.
