Bring First Nations perspectives into your Science and HASS lessons through existing clean energy contexts. Teach how clean energy solutions are generated and accessed, using real-world examples such as the Marlinja solar microgrid and housing retrofits in remote communities.
They’ll build critical thinking and problem-solving skills as they evaluate clean energy options and justify solutions for a fairer and more sustainable future.
These lessons support students to:
⚡ Investigate how clean energy is produced and distributed
🌏 Examine energy access and equity in different communities
🌿 See how First Nations knowledge informs renewables development
🔋 Explore real-world solutions such as solar microgrids
🏡 Understand how clean energy solutions support health, wellbeing, and staying on Country
🧠 Analyse energy challenges and justify solutions
💡 Identify clean energy careers, skills, and pathways.
