This fieldtrip allowed me to see things of what we have learnt.(Example Swash And Backwash,Weathering of Dragon Teeth Gate)This fieldtrip exposed us to 3D pictures instead of always looking at 2D pictures.Miss Chee said that "o" Level examiner are trying to come out with more pictures rather than 2D image( like our notes ) ,therefore this fieldtrip allow us to look at more of 3D pictures.For weathering,i thought that there could only be one process taking place at a time,but this fieldtrip tells me that in real fact,there is different type of weathering taking place.(Example Dragon Teeth Gate,Eroded by Oxidation and biological weathering.)Also,this fieldtrip allows us to study the geography notes easier.For example,the weathering process that was taking place on the dragon teeth gate,we can directly explain how this happen instead of keep memorising the words.If wasn't for the fieldtrip,i would have mistaken the seawalls as the breakwater because in notes,we couldn't really get to see how a seawalls or breakwater looks like.I also notice that Singapore has different type of coastal management.Examples are seawalls,breakwater and placing boulders.In Labrador Park,we can only find boulders and seawalls.This trip also allow us to recall what we have learnt earlier on.Examples are forest structure(Why is the forest structure dark?Answer:due to continuous canopy block sunlight from passing through the forest ground.)and weathering of dragon teeth gate(what is the process that break down the dragon teeth gate?Answer:plants grow into rock's line of weaknesses and oxidation.)
This trip was a useful one as it could help us recall what we have learnt.
