Geography and Resources Management (GRMG) students were engaged in experiential learning by visiting a local farmland located in Wo Hang, Sha Tau Kok. To connect them with nature, the course instructor, Dr. Homan Leung, emphasized engaging the students' four senses: sight (observing plant growth and soil texture), listening (identifying bird species through their chirping), touch (harvesting the produce in the field), and smell (investigating the unique smell of vegetables) during the field study. In addition, students performed measurements of various soil parameters such as acidity, alkalinity, and electrical conductivity in both the field site and the laboratory. They also studied how plant growth and health are related to soil quality. This out-of-classroom experience not only helped students learn practical soil analysis skills but also enabled them to apply theory into practice.

地理及資源管理專修同學於沙頭角禾坑農田進行課外參觀及體驗式學習。課程講師梁浩文博士強調讓學生透過視覺(觀察植物生長和土壤質地)、聽覺(聆聽鳥類的鳴叫聲)、觸覺(在田間採收農作物)、以及嗅覺(嗅聞蔬菜獨特的氣味),與大自然建立聯繫。此外,學生還在田野和實驗室進行了酸度、鹼度和電導率等多種土壤參數的測量,並研究了植物的生長和健康與土壤質量的關係。這種課外體驗不僅幫助學生學習實際的土壤分析技能,還能達致理論與實踐並重的學習目標。
