Fieldwork is a critical part of geography, and involves a range of techniques. In this program, two young commandos are on a fieldwork mission to research and report on the human impact in two geographical regions – one urban and one within a National Park. Along the way they learn about preparation, collecting primary and secondary data, equipment, note taking, photographic recording, surveying and interviewing, and presenting findings. They also talk to park rangers who work in both areas and ultimately come to understand the importance of accurate, well prepared fieldwork.

A Greener Workplace – Planning and Managing Sustainability
The ‘green’ approach to life started as a grass-roots, community-based movement. It has now permeated the mainstream to the point where businesses across the globe realize that adopting an environmentally sound philosophy is essential – not only to maintain credibility and protect the bottom line, but also to attract the best employees. People expect business to be at the fore with regard to sustainability – to lead changes in thinking and behaviour. This program discusses the benefits of ‘green’ workplaces. The lead must come from the top – managers and business owners find themselves needing to be increasingly in tune with sustainable and ecological thinking. We hear from leading business people and sustainability experts about environmental corporate culture and practices and gain an insight into how to effectively implement a policy and strategy.

Chemical Equations in the Real World
The word ‘chemicals’ might bring to mind pools of swirling, poisonous mixtures, dangerous acids or secret formulas… but they are far more prominent in everyday life than we might first think. Very little in the physical world around us occurs without chemical reactions being involved. In this way, many of the important processes in modern manufacturing and product use can be summarised with chemical equations. This program takes an in-depth look at five common products that are in use all around us and explores the chemistry behind their manufacture and/or use, including chemical equations. Using graphics and footage from inside manufacturing plants, we see examples of how chemistry is so prevalent in the real world – and examine various reactions taking place. The products are soap, polystyrene, aluminium, paint and car batteries.
