SURPLUS The budget is coming up, when we finally get to see how the federal government is planning to spend the country's money. This budget is going to be a bit different though, because the government has repeatedly said it is looking for cuts, in an effort to achieve a surplus in the future. We also look at the economy and how the decisions made in the budget can effect it.ANTIBIOTIC ISSUESLast week, the World Health Organisation released a warning - superbugs aren't just coming for us - they're already here. Superbugs are the name given to infectious bacteria that have developed a resistance to the antibiotics we traditionally treat them with. We delve into the biological reasons behind resistance and what can be done to protect us all.CYCLING LICENSESShould cyclists have to be licensed? That's an idea brought up by a minister from NSW after two really bad car-bike crashes recently. But that would have a big impact on a lot of kids, who rely on their bike for transport to and from school. We'll speak to two kids who have very different thoughts on the plan, and take a look at road safety and transport along the way.VOLUNTEER WEEKIt's volunteer week, a time when we're encouraged to pay tribute to those who give up their time for others. We meet a group of kids from the Lockyer Valley, who are fundraising to provide hay to drought affected farmers. They'll explain what they're doing, why farmers need hay and how you can help.(St Mary's Primary School)TEACHER RESOURCES INCLUDED Learning areas -Civics and Citizenship Knowledge and Understanding / Citizenship, diversity and identity/ Year 5Why people work in groups to achieve their aims, and how they can express their shared beliefs and values and exercise influenceEconomics and Business Knowledge and Understanding/Year 7Why individuals work, types of work and how people derive an incomeROBOT GIRLSFor a while now, schools have been trying to encourage more girls to take an interest in science and mathematics. One school program has decided the best way to lure them in is with robots. It's called RoboGals. We meet some of the girls who spend their days tinkering with these cool creations. And along the way, we discover what role science and maths plays in the world of robotics.TEACHER RESOURCES INCLUDEDLearning areas -Technologies / Digital Technologies / Digital Technologies processes and production skills / Year 3 and 4Define simple problems, and describe and follow a sequence of steps and decisions (algorithms) needed to solve themTechnologies / Digital Technologies / Digital Technologies processes and production skills / Year 5 and 6Design, modify and follow simple algorithms represented diagrammatically and in English involving sequences of steps, branching, and iteration (repetition)**Teacher resources available at www.abc.net.au/btn/teachers.htm** |
