Content Descriptor Number
Inspired by AC9HS4K05 of the Australian Curriculum Version 9.0, material in this section may help your child understand the importance of environments, including natural vegetation and water sources, to people and animals in Australia and on another continent. It may also help further understanding in:
- identifying the main types of vegetation, including forest, savannah, grassland, woodland and desert, and exploring natural vegetation in Australia and another continent such as Africa or South America (AC9HS4K05_E1)
- exploring how vegetation has an important role in sustaining the environment by producing oxygen, protecting food-producing land from erosion, retaining rainfall, providing habitat for animals, sheltering crops and livestock, providing shade for people, cooling urban places, producing medicines, wood and fibre, and making places appear more attractive (AC9HS4K05_E2)
- explaining how people’s connections with their environment can also be aesthetic, emotional and spiritual (AC9HS4K05_E3)
- exploring strategies to protect particular environments that provide habitats for animals; for example, planting bird-attracting vegetation (AC9HS4K05_E4)
- identifying the importance of water to the environment and to sustaining the lives of people and animals (AC9HS4K05_E5)
