This unit investigates Australia in the late 19th and 20th centuries. The development of Australia as a nation and the inclusion of different groups within the community through time is examined. The nature of Australian democracy and government and how these emerged from the events of the early 20th century are considered. The role of particular individuals is contrasted with the experiences of groups within society, in order to provide a range of viewpoints. Students will undertake a guided Scientific Investigation to examine an aspect of life in Australia in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Scientific Investigation will introduce students to the Scientific Process and how conclusions are drawn from examinations of data. Students will use this process to undertake a research project on a relevant theme, using a range of evidence to draw conclusions.

A student workbook is also provided for the students to fill in during this unit. This workbook, as well as the research project, students’ discussions in class and participation in the activities, forms the assessment for this unit.

Multi-Year Level Integration

This unit is compatible with the Unit 5.3 The Colonial Experience in Australia. It can also be combined with Unit 4.3 Origins of Australia. These units 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 6.3 focussing on the 19th and 20th centuries, Unit 5.3 focussing on the colonial period of the 19th century and Unit 4.3 focussing on Australia in the period immediately before and during colonisation. These differences can be addressed by each year level working through the resources appropriate to their area of focus, whilst general resources can be used for all three units. The differences are reflected in the student workbooks, with students focussing their research project on a year-level appropriate theme.
