Year 5 HASS: Geography

How the environment influences people and how people influence the environment.

A complete unit plan with all resources that align with the Australian Curriculum.

During the unit, students ‘keep learning local’ by inquiring about the health of their creek, testing it and then taking action to help. Use this unit plan as an alternative to C2C Year 5 – HASS Unit 1.
