GAZAThe conflict in Gaza has now been going on for a month. It's one of the most complex situations on the planet right now, so this week on BtN, we're going to provide some context. Where is all of this violence happening, when did it start and most importantly, why is it still going on?EBOLAIt's a disease that has grabbed everyone's attention recently. The outbreak of Ebola in Africa has experts really worried, because it's deadly and there's no known cure. We find out how it works, and what's being done to contain it.TEACHER RESOURCES INCLUDED Learning Areas -Science/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 7Scientific understandings, discoveries and inventions are used to solve problems that directly affect peoples' lives. Years 5 & 6CHRISTMAS ISLANDRecently, the Australian Human Rights Commission spoke out about the conditions faced by detainees housed in the Christmas Island Detention Centre. This type of news is usually all we hear about this Australian Island, and it doesn't leave a good impression. But there is actually a whole community of people who live there, who would like their island to be known for more than just its controversial asylum facility. Local kid Dewi takes BtN around Christmas Island, to show us what life there is really like.TEACHER RESOURCES INCLUDED Learning Areas -Geography/Geographical Knowledge and UnderstandingThe location of the major countries of the Asia region in relation to Australia and the geographical diversity within the region Year 6The various connections Australia has with other countries and how these connections change people and places Year 6Geography / Geographical Inquiry and Skills / Collecting, recording, evaluating and representingRepresent the location and features of places and different types of geographical information by constructing large-scale and small-scale maps that conform to cartographic conventions including border, source, scale, legend, title and north point, using spatial technologies as appropriate Years 4, 5 & 6Geography / Geographical Inquiry and Skills / CommunicatingPresent findings and ideas in a range of communication forms, for example, written, oral, graphic, tabular, visual and maps; using geographical terminology and digital technologies as appropriate Year 5FIST VS SHAKEIt's been the way humans have greeted each other for centuries, but is shaking hands actually a health hazard? That's what some scientists reckon, after they released research showing just how many germs are transferred with each shake of the hand. So if we want to stay healthy this winter, how should we be saying hi? Well apparently fist bumping could be the 'go to' greeting. BtN looks into the science and sociology behind this new idea.BMX CHAMPSam Willoughby has just returned from a very successful BMX World Championships campaign in the Netherlands.
