NUCLEAR DUMPA Royal Commission in South Australia has recommended that the state become the first in Australia to house a nuclear waste dump. The report found that the dump would make SA a lot of money, but what are the risks? We take a look at both sides of this contentious debate.TEACHER RESOURCES INCLUDED Learning areas -Science / Science Understanding / Earth and space sciences Some of Earth's resources are renewable, but others are non-renewable Year 7Science / Science as a Human Endeavour / Use and influence of scienceScience and technology contribute to finding solutions to a range of contemporary issues; these solutions may impact on other areas of society and involve ethical considerations Year 7 Science / Science Inquiry Skills / Processing and analysing data and informationSummarise data , from students' own investigations and secondary sources, and use scientific understanding to identify relationships and draw conclusions Year 7HASS / Knowledge and Understanding / Geography The use and management of natural resources and waste, and the different views on how to do this sustainably Year 4GRAVITATIONAL WAVESIt's been billed as the discovery of the century - gravitational waves have now been seen for the first time. But to most of us, that doesn't mean a lot. So what are gravitational waves and why is finding them such a big deal?** Gravitational Waves will be next week's BtN #AskaReporter topic! **EARTHQUAKE ANNIVERSARYLast week, a 5.7 magnitude earthquake hit the city of Christchurch in New Zealand. Luckily no one was injured, but it did give everyone an uneasy reminder that five years has no passed since a much bigger quake hit the city. We visit one school to find out how the effects of the earthquake are still being felt so many years later.TEACHER RESOURCES INCLUDED Learning areas -Technologies / Design and Technologies / Knowledge and Understanding Recognise the role of people in design and technologies occupations and explore factors, including sustainability that impact on the design of products, services and environments to meet community needs Years 3 & 4Science / Science Understanding / Earth and space sciences Sudden geological changes and extreme weather conditions can affect Earth's surface Year 6Science / Science as a Human Endeavour / Use and influence of science Scientific knowledge is used to solve problems and inform personal and community decisions Year 6Geography / Geographical Knowledge and Understanding / Landforms and landscapes Causes, impacts and responses to a geomorphological hazard Year 8Science / Science Understanding / Earth and space sciences The theory of plate tectonics explains global patterns of geological activity and continental movement Year 9LEAP YEARThis year is a leap year, which means we all get to enjoy an extra day at the end of February. But why do we actually have leap years? We find out all about this strange year and catch up with a kid who has a very good reason to look forward to that extra day every four years.THE WOMBAT CARERJust like humans, wombats can sometimes need a helping hand to get by. They can be hurt by things like wild dogs, cars or disease. And one young girl is doing her best to help by inviting up to 20 of them at a time to live with her while they recover. We take a look around her home and find out what wombats are like as housemates |
