This unit supports children’s understanding of habitat, interconnections between animals and their food in a habitat and developing an appreciation of our responsibility to protect environments that provide habitats for animals.
Students explore the climate, natural vegetation and native animals of places in Australia and Asia. They examine the importance of natural vegetation and natural resources to the environment, animals and people and learn about the ways people value environments, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples. Students identify sustainable practices and recognise that there are differing views on how sustainability can be achieved.
