| Summary |
"From coast to coast, Australia's diverse environments reflect the impact of generations of human activity and decision-making. This collection of teaching units, designed for primary classrooms, aims to shed light on the challenges that face a new generation of Australians as they seek to sustain living communities and environments. Focusing on the local places and spaces that students know and care about, the units connect with big national and international issues such as land care, water use, salinity, biodiversity, cultural heritage, consumption and waste. Rich with possibilities for in-depth investigation, the units model processes of active research, evaluation, response and communication that are an essential part of informed resource management." -- BOOK JACKET |
