Identifying the human and physical features of Australia - KS1/KS2

This resource is part of Exploring Australia, a Geography unit designed for students in upper KS1 and lower KS2 (Y2-Y4). All resources are compatible with both Microsoft Office and Google Workspace.

First the presentation introduces the concepts of human and physical before looking at some of Australia’s famous landmarks, from the Sydney Opera House to the Great Barrier Reef.

The activity challenges students to look at ten famous geographical features of Australia and identify them as human or physical:

Easier - Students look at each feature and circle human or physical.
Medium - Students draw each feature and circle human or physical.
Harder - Students identify each feature and label as human or physical.
Extension - Students complete a cloze-procedure paragraph about Australia.
