This unit investigates how children lived long ago and compares their lives to the lives of children now. It introduces the ideas of basic needs, including shelter, as well as food and water and how these needs have been met through time. The students investigate the lives of children in the past by considering their homes, how they played and what food they ate. The case studies provided will cover a broad range of times and places around the world. A range of activities allows them to try to experience what life might have been like for children in the past and thus compare those experiences to their own lives.
Students will undertake a guided Scientific Investigation to examine types of evidence for how children lived in the past. Students will consider stories, photographs, artefacts and museums as sources of information about the past. Students will start a small museum in their classroom. The Scientific Investigation will introduce students to the Scientific Process and how conclusions are drawn from examinations of data, including artefacts.
Multi-Year Level Integration
