Water Education Resources

Water is Life

As children grow and comprehend the world around them, it is important that they learn from an early age how vital water is to their bodies, to their environment and to the world at large.

Children are our future so it is critical that they are provided with a full understanding of the importance of water and how they can help in protecting this most valuable resource now and into the future.

The Australian F-10 Schools Curriculum focuses initially on early primary students observing and understanding their ‘place in the world’; their local environment and living things; the key processes in the water cycle and changes to the earth’s surface that impact upon growth and survival of living things. This is developed gradually into the more complex issues around interdependencies, sustainability and resources.

These key aspects are understood through both individual and personal experience, through visual and ‘hands on’ practical learning as well as through gaining an understanding as to how First Nations People predict, locate and manage water resources.
