Years 4 to 5 (Unit 1)
Water windows—yesterday, today and tomorrow
The focus of this unit is on the sustainable use of water in communities. Students investigate how the understanding of water as a precious and finite resource has changed over time in their local area. They explore changes in land use around local water sources, and changes in attitudes towards the sustainable management of water resources in their local area.
Students have the opportunity to use the visual arts to communicate changing patterns of water use in their local area across a number of generations.
