  • Minimum time allocation half an hour per week, optimal 1 hour a week.

This unit investigates how daily life has changed through time. Students examine how people’s lives have changed in terms of family structure, technology and connections across the planet.

The timeline activity provides a hands-on experience mapping the abstract concept of time to 2-dimensional and even 3-dimensional space, which helps students to understand the concept of time and its duration. The timeline activity also revises the number-line concept as developed in the Mathematics Curriculum, as well as covering sequences and patterns of numbers, addition and subtraction and repeated operations.

Students will undertake a guided Scientific Investigation to examine types of evidence of daily life in the past. Students will consider stories, photographs, artefacts and texts, such as letters and journals, as sources of information about the past. 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

This unit is broadly compatible with the Unit F.3 Children Long Ago. It can also be used with Unit 1.3 Families Through Time, as well as Unit 3.3 Brisbane Through Time. Unit 1.3 and Unit 2.3 cover much of the same material and have the same activities occurring in the same weeks. There is a slight difference in focus, with Unit 1.3 focussing on families and Unit 2.3 adding a comparison of technology, but this difference is reflected mainly in the student workbooks, and teachers in multi-year level classes can emphasise the relative importance of each set of information. These units are designed to be taught together easily, without disruption to the flow of the class.
