Overview

Students locate the continents of Europe and North America and identify how people have changed a particular environment in a country within each of these continents.
Students explore how Australia’s first people altered the environment and sustained ways of living through methods of land and resource management. They evaluate the effects of change on environmental sustainability. They identify and explore how land features influence where people live, how people use spaces, and the impact natural disasters such as bush fires and floods have on the environment and communities.
