Deadly Science – Renewable Resources empowers young learners to explore the future of energy, sustainability, and environmental responsibility through a uniquely Australian lens. This engaging resource invites students to investigate how renewable energy sources—like solar, wind, and water—can help us reduce our impact on the planet. Through a combination of hands-on science and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives, students learn that renewable resource knowledge is not new. For thousands of years, First Nations Australians have lived sustainably, harnessing natural materials in ways that respect and preserve Country. By connecting this ancient wisdom with modern scientific approaches, students gain a well-rounded understanding of how we can meet our needs without damaging the Earth for future generations. Encouraging critical thinking, curiosity and inquiry-based learning, Renewable Resources is the perfect entry point into conversations about conservation, climate action, and science in action.
