Teacher Ideas
1. Use particular pages from this site when completing a unit on Australia. Encourage students to respond on the message boards.
2. Assign students individual related research topics for more in-depth study.
3. Have students research the different animals and plants of the great barrier reef. Students present short oral reports and draw, color and cut out an example of their animal or plant. Put them all together on a large sheet of blue butcher paper for a mural. Laminate and display.
4. Edible map of Australia. Students work in small groups to plan what features of Australia they will show on their maps of Australia, and what ingredients from home they should bring to represent these features, for example, blue icing for water, hershey kisses for mountains, m&ms for major cities, and crushed butter fingers for desert. The teacher mixes up the no cook dough before class The map must be graded and photographed before the students eat it. Yummy.
