  • • comparing photographs from the past and present of a specific location to identify the change or continuity (similarities and differences over time) associated with people, events or developments, places or ecosystems
  • • identifying individuals and groups of diverse backgrounds from the past, who have contributed to the community’s economic, social, cultural, civic and environmental development and character
  • • investigating reasons for change in the local community, why change was brought about and what happened because of it; for example, the change in use of a building, wasteland turning to wetland

Year 3 Humanities and Social Sciences Achievement Standard
By the end of Year 3, students describe the causes, effects and contributions of people to change. They identify the significance of events, symbols and emblems to Australia’s identity and diversity. They describe the representation of places within and near Australia. They identify the similarities, differences and connections of people to places across those scales. Students describe the importance of rules and people’s contributions to communities. Students develop questions and locate, collect and record information and data from different sources. They interpret information and data in different formats. They analyse information and data to identify perspectives and they draw conclusions. They propose actions or responses. Students use ideas from sources, and subject-specific terms to present descriptions and explanations.
