Australian Curriculum Year 5 HASS Unit- Economic & Business

In this Year 5 unit students explore the types of resources and how they satisfy needs and wants, addressing aspects of the HASS Australian Curriculum.

✩ It is a 9 lesson unit (designed to be taught over a term) that contains all lesson resources including worksheets and posters*.

✩ This HASS unit also contains an editable PowerPoint presentation that can be displayed during each lesson. It includes the learning intentions/success criteria, key discussion points, worksheets and display resources. This makes teaching every lesson even easier if your classroom has a T.V or Smartboard.
