Describe what facilities and resources are available in the local community and explain what influences people to participate. Investigate a sport to be played at the games including participants, rules, equipment and facilities needed, and appropriate venue. Organise for someone to explain the sport and for the class to try it out. Identify the Olympic village on the CD-ROM, who lives and works there, and how the athletes spend their recreational time in the village. Survey the local area to identify its conservation and regeneration needs and suggest appropriate strategies.
Students can make links between physical activity choices, and the availability of facilities.
Students can describe features of the Olympic games facilities and policies that influence the health of people and the environment. Students can predict how the steps taken by the organisers to care for the community and environment will influence the local environment and the health of the public. Students can describe some interactions between the plants and animals of the Homebush area and the activities of humans to care for them.
