Core Learning Outcome |
SRP 2.1 Students investigate the
origins and processing of a familiar product to describe relevant
conservation strategies. |
|
Students know: Interactions between ecological and other systems |
origins of a familiar
product ·
origins of resources e.g. -
wheat for bread -
oil for plastic -
trees for timber and paper -
coal for electricity -
water for drinking processing of a familiar
product ·
simple stages of production ·
resources used at stages of production ·
chemicals in production (for agriculture) ·
water treatment ·
packaging relevant conservation
strategies student practice e.g. -
water conservation (Waterwatch) -
paper recycling -
energy-saving practices -
composting -
buying products with minimal packaging ·
local strategies that conserve resources (local
government glass and paper recycling) ·
school strategies (conservation programs) |
|
Students can: Investigating |
investigate to describe ·
use a process to investigate e.g. -
gather information (simple non-fiction and reference
materials, excursion observations, interviews with workers) associated with
one or more stages of resource production, ingredients information on food
labels -
organise and record information in chart, table,
collage, flow chart, electronic graphics (match resources to stages of
production; sequence production stages; match workers to production) -
use recorded information to synthesise relevant
conservation strategies that are realistic and able to be enacted |
|
Core Learning Outcome |
SRP 2.2 Students create a
representation of various people and resources involved in the production and
consumption of familiar goods and services. |
|
Students know: Economy and business |
familiar goods and
services ·
goods associated with local shops (food, clothes,
videos, books) ·
services associated with local shopping centre
(TV repairs, petrol station) people involved in
production and consumption ·
bread: wheat farm workers → flour mill
workers → transport workers → baker → consumer →
waste management workers ·
stereotypes of gender, age, ethnicity and
disability resources involved in
production and consumption ·
technology ·
animal labour ·
money ·
diverse resources in one product (t-shirt:
cotton, polyester from oil) ·
packaging e.g. -
resources used -
consumption patterns -
waste disposal |
|
Students can: Creating |
create a representation ·
design a concept map based on a product (wheat,
showing ingredients, various workers, technology and costs) ·
design a simple flow chart about resource
production (paper) ·
label a diagram about a local service (how
television repairers do their work) ·
sequenced pictures associated with the production
and consumption of something intangible (electricity) ·
create a wall collage about goods and services
(classified pictures of goods or services) ·
develop a simple map showing where to obtain
goods and services in the local area ·
develop an imaginary product or service and
brainstorm the resources, technology and people involved in its
production/delivery and consumption |
|
Core Learning Outcome |
SRP 2.3 Students enact a simple
enterprise to identify their own and others’ strengths and weaknesses. |
|
Students know: Participating and decision making |
simple enterprise ·
class shop ·

resource management project (paper making) ·
planning for class excursion ·
information campaign own and others’ strengths
and weaknesses ·
peers, teacher, familiar adults ·

intellectual ·
what is easy and difficult ·
likes and dislikes associated with contributing
to the enterprise ·

musical -
interpersonal -
intrapersonal -
mathematical/logical -
kinesthetic -
spiritual |
|
Students can: Participating |
enact a simple
cooperative enterprise to identify ·
with assistance, cooperatively engage in a
process e.g. -
set goals -
decide resources needed -
identify roles and responsibilities and how these
will be allocated (based on knowledge of personal and others’ strengths and
weaknesses) -
enact given role/s and responsibilities within
the enterprise -
create a timeline of things to be done -
monitor and review own and others’ progress (KWL
chart: what I Know, what I Want to know, what I have Learnt) ·
give constructive feedback to each other ·
review aspects of
the enterprise (How could we have done this part better?) |
|
Core Learning Outcome |

information about their own and others’ rights and responsibilities in
various settings. |
|
Students know: Citizenship |
various settings ·
class ·
home ·
playground ·

safety -
learning -
freedom of speech/point of view -
freedom to be different -
free association with people -
happiness -
respect for property -
privacy |
|
Students can: Communicating |
analyse information ·
tabulate personal rights and responsibilities in
various places (library, Internet community) and look for commonalities ·
describe cause/effect (why there are rules for the
playground equipment; protocols for school of the air) ·
define a problem in light of rights and
responsibilities (why some children argue over a game) ·
compare consequences of a situation (how various
people felt when their happiness was considered by someone else) ·
