ABC Education brings you high-quality educational content and resources. All resources are free and mapped to the Australian Curriculum (including Foundation Years), covering English, Maths, Science, Geography, History, The Arts and Technologies, including STEM.
Since ABC Education is also developed for children in Foundation years, this will be a great opportunity for Educators to use these Resources for the school readiness program to support children going to Kindergarten the following year.
Some of the Resources available for foundation years include:
- Australian Mammals
- Aboriginal cultures: Sharing, connecting and practising
- How do guide dogs know where their owners want to go?
- Is the sky blue on other planets?
- Why is the sea salty?
- How deep is the ocean?
- How do magpies detect worms and other food underground?
Resources are available in a range of different media including videos, topis, digibooks, games, articles and more.
