Kidsnews.com.au is proud to present this educational learning kit on the Gold Rush.
As gold fever hit, it brought with it great wealth, an exploding population, new transport, roads and other infrastructure, new businesses and a multicultural society.
Understanding the impact of the Gold Rush on life back then – and the long-term benefits it has had centuries later – is the central focus of the Kids News digital teaching resource: Gold Rush.
This in-depth kit covers topics including the overall history of the Gold Rush, life as a miner, jobs of the goldfields, family and home life, the Eureka Stockade and the legacy of the Gold Rush.
On purchase, teachers receive a downloadable PDF workbook suitable for Years 3 to 8 that includes 25 activities to help you meet your curriculum needs in History, Visual Art, English, Health and Physical Education, Civics and Citizenship, Geography, Design and Technologies and Intercultural Capabilities.
