Government & Defence - POLICE OFFICERMaths on Patrol Middle Secondary Australian Curriculum General Capability: Numeracy 1. It is important for the Police officers to know which formula is used for what and how to apply them, as well as to figure out values for the variables. Police officers are trained to use mathematics in their field and can take extended training to work in Forensics or Accident Reconstruction. Australia has strict laws about drinking alcohol and driving, with the legal limit set at 0.05 blood alcohol concentration (BAC). Learners and probationary license-holders must have a 0.00 BAC. That is, any measurement higher than 0.05 makes driving illegal, and drivers can be charged or fined. The measurement of .05 means .05 grams of alcohol per 100mL of blood. The mouth
absorbs alcohol, so the alcohol on the driver’s breath is related to the
amount of alcohol in their blood. The ratio of breath alcohol to blood
alcohol is 2100 to 1 (this ratio can vary slightly depending on the
individual). This means that the alcohol content of 2100 milliliters of
exhaled air is the same as the amount of alcohol in 1 milliliter of blood.
Alcohol is then expressed as a percentage amount in the blood, where the
legal limit is .05%. 2. Using the Drinkwise Calculator, calculate different drinks and their alcohol content.

a personal profile of a few of your friends or family. Include details that
you would find in a police report such as fingerprints, mug shots, criminal
history, etc. [Make
up most of the details yourself so you can make them seem like real
criminals!]
Facial Recognition Technology: What do you know? Middle Secondary Australian Curriculum General Capability: Literacy Australian Curriculum General Capability: Critical and creative thinking Australian Curriculum General Capability: Ethical Understanding Philosophy Cooperative Learning Activity
1. In groups of 4 - 5 students, read and analyse the following article from The Conversation 26 November 2018. 2. Write down the facts; pros and cons; and, arguments put forward in this article. Compare notes amongst the group and discuss the implications - to society and you in particular. For example,
3. Why is regulating FRT so necessary? Who should do this regulating? Why? Why not? 4. Have you thought about the future use of FRT? What are the possibilities? Discuss as a group. 5. Reflection. Did you pick up on any pros or cons that you had not thought of? What about implications?
Blood on the Wattle: Retrieval Chart Strategy & Circle the Sage Secondary Australian Curriculum General Capability: Ethical Understanding Australian Curriculum Cross Curriculum Priorities: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and cultures Philosophy Cooperative Learning Activity
Part A: Retrieval Chart Strategy 1. You are to form groups of 4 - 5 students. Read the following information from The Conversation 28 July 2021
2. Look at the Retrieval Chart Strategy and create another column "Massacres and their dates". 3. Create a Time Line of these Massacres. 4. Have you heard of these massacres before? Share with a partner. Optional Extra If you would like to know more about the massacres endured in Australia, look up the book "Blood on the Wattle" by Bruce Elder
5. Using Indigenous Australia, five students [one from each team or group] are to become "The Sages". Each Sage is to select ONE different person - one Native Mounted Police or Trooper from the list below - and carry out intensive research about this person. They should be given some time to do this - eg. be prepared for the following lesson.
6. Carry out "Circle the Sage" strategy. This strategy entails one person "the Sage" knowing all the information about, in this case, a NMP or Trooper, and delivering this information to a small team - one student from each group. This can be done as creatively as possible. The rest of the team of 5 goes to a separate Sage and learns all about a Trooper from their Sage. The students are to then go back to their group/team and re-tell what they have learnt from "The Sage". At the end of the session, the team should know all about each Trooper.
