Why teach all Australian kids about bush tucker?
Teaching Australian children about bush tucker provides a great opportunity to:
- understand the role of the environment in food availability
- learn how totems restrict what food is eaten
- learn about customary uses of native plant species
- appreciate the link between land care and food availability
- recognise the link between climate and sustainable food production
- identify the physical and chemical sciences involved in food collection and preparation.
A great addition to your collection of First Nations resources
The content in this poster addresses the cross-curricular priority of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Histories and Culture. It could also be used to guide conversations with your students in conjunction with NAIDOC Week celebrations.
One of my students loves the outback. He'll love this.
Thanks, Ciena! Glad you like the resource. Have a great week!
