Unpacking Mungo Explorer teaching resources

Mungo Explorer is a resource aligned with the Australian Curriculum for History and Geography, year 4 and years 7/8. This material enables you to dive deep into the story at Lake Mungo, and discover the lifestyles of Indigenous peoples who lived through an ice age and changing climates. The resource weaves together historical and scientific thinking with Indigenous perspectives, and the general capabilities. We will explore how you can integrate these teaching materials and lesson plans into your current programs.
