FOSSIL FUELSThe leaders of seven of the world's most powerful countries have now agreed to phase out fossil fuels by the end of the century. It's been labelled as a historic decision, but what are fossil fuels? And why have these nations decided we need to stop using them? We dig deep down into this oily issue.TEACHER RESOURCES INCLUDED Learning areas -Science / Science Understanding / Physical sciences Energy from a variety of sources can be used to generate electricity Year 6Science / Science Understanding / Earth and space sciences Some of Earth's resources are renewable, but others are non renewable Year 7Geography / Geographical Knowledge and Understanding The natural resources provided by the environment, and different views on how they could be used sustainably Year 4STATION SALEWould you allow another country to buy 1.6 percent of Australia? Well that's exactly what some people are predicting will happen when a massive collection of cattle stations owned by agricultural group S. Kidman and Co go under the hammer. We take a closer look at the deal, and how it might affect the kids that call these huge stations home.REFUGEE DAYThe 20th of June is World Refugee Day, an issue we've heard a lot about in this country. But is it a big issue in other countries too? BtN will answer this question by giving students a global perspective on this massive humanitarian issue.TEACHER RESOURCES INCLUDED Learning areas -Civics and Citizenship/Knowledge and Understanding/Citizenship, diversity and identity The obligations citizens may consider they have beyond their own national borders as active and informed global citizens Year 6Civics and Citizenship Skills/Analysis, synthesis and interpretation Identify over-generalised statements in relation to civics and citizenship topics and issues Year 6History/Historical Knowledge and Understanding/Australia as a nation Stories of groups of people who migrated to Australia (including from ONE Asian country) and the reasons they migrated, such as World War II and Australian migration programs since the war. Year 6History/Historical Skills/Historical questions and research Identify questions to inform an historical inquiry Year 6ON YOUR FEETWe sit down to eat breakfast, sit down whilst driving to school, sit down in class, then sit down on the couch once we arrive home. It might be relaxing, but could all this sitting down be hurting us too? We look at the evidence now coming out against sitting and visit some school students that are taking a stand, literally.UNDERWATER ROBOTSBuilding a robot seems like a pretty big ask for a kid. But what about trying to build one that completes obstacle courses, all whilst under water? That's what one kids robotics club has spent weeks trying to achieve. BtN joined them as they prepared to test their amazing inventions to find out how they did it |
