| Summary |
DEATH DEBATEMost people agree that if someone does the crime, they should do the time. But what if the punishment isn't time in jail? What if it's the capital punishment, something Australia stopped many years ago? That is the debate simmering in Australia right now, as two citizens face the death penalty in Indonesia after being caught trying to smuggle drugs out of the country. BtN looks at the history of the death penalty and the countries that still practice it.CENSUS CHANGESEvery five years, the government undertakes Australia's biggest poll. It's called the census and it asks every person in the country about nearly every detail of their lives. But now, there's been a call to delay the census, from every five years to every ten. Will this have an negative effect on the information it collects? We look at the purpose and history of this huge national survey to find out.TEACHING RESOURCES INCLUDED Learning Areas -Mathematics/Statistics and Probability/Data representation and interpretationDescribe and interpret different data sets in context Year 5Investigate techniques for collecting data, including census, sampling and observation Year 8History/Historical Skills/Historical questions and researchIdentify and locate a range of relevant sources Year 6Civics and Citizenship/Analysis, synthesis and interpretationCritically analyse information and ideas from a range of sources in relation to civics and citizenship topics and issues Year 7WAVE ENERGYThe world's first grid-connected wave energy farm has just been switched on in Western Australia.
