Here is a list of suggested teacher resources that are worth the investment. These have either been used and implemented in classrooms, viewed or recommended to me.

Visit the geography page for Year 1&2 and Year 3&4 unit exemplars for Geography. These have been created with teachers using the Teaching Ideas for Geography resource and Geography Overview documents.
All of the primary connections science units are available for download from Scootle. They are aligned to the Australian Curriculum and include some links to the Science as a Human Endeavour strand.
I have downloaded each unit from Scootle and have uploaded these onto the science page, organised under year level headings. Each document is in PDF format and can be downloaded and saved.

I have put together a range of ideas to support the implementation of Geography in the Australian Curriculum R-7. The ideas cover each of the Geography concepts: Place, Space, Environment, Interconnection, Scale, Sustainability & Change. The ideas for each concept in the document start from early years and build to upper primary ideas. There is also a range of general ideas for exploring Geography using inquiry models, graphic organisers, ICTs, literature texts and more. I hope you will find this document useful when planning.
