How to order your Gold Rush education kit including 25-activity classroom workbook

Kidsnews.com.au is proud to present this free educational learning kit on the Gold Rush.

As gold fever hit the nation, 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 Australian 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.

Teachers who subscribe to the Kids News weekly edm will be able to download  the PDF workbook completely free of charge. Suitable for Years 3 to 12, it 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.
