This thought-provoking KS3 lesson explores the impact of the British Empire on Australia. Students will examine how colonisation began with Captain Cook’s arrival in 1770 and how the First Fleet in 1788 marked the start of massive changes—especially for Aboriginal Australians. Through pupils will investigate British settlement, the exploitation of land and people, and the long-lasting effects of empire. Learners will also explore trade, social structures, and Australia’s journey to independence, while questioning whether the empire brought progress or not.

Next, students are introduced to Australia’s three climate zones (tropical, arid and temperate) and find out how this effects weather in different parts of the country. The activity challenges students to identify the climate zones of different Australian towns and cities: Easier - Students identify the climate zones of 12 towns/cities. Harder - Students identify the state and climate zones of 12 towns/cities. Extension - Students investigate which climate zone has the most towns/cities and what this indicates about Australia’s population. If you like this resource, we would appreciate a review!

The British Empire The aim of this lesson is to examine the upheaval caused to the lives of the indigenous peoples of Australia by the arrival and settlement of Europeans. The lesson begins by exploring the customs, traditions and way of life of Australia’s indigenous peoples before examining how these were rapidly disrupted by the attitudes, actions and settlements of European colonists. Students then investigate how European attitudes towards indigenous Australians influenced the treatment of Aboriginal communities. A ‘Horrible Histories’ version of events is also scrutinised, with students challenged to question its accuracy and consider how historical events are represented. There are some comprehension questions and source scholarship, including an extract from Sathnam Sanghera’s Empireland, which examines the atrocities committed by colonists in Tasmania. Students use the evidence to develop their understanding of the experiences of indigenous Australians and the impact of European settlement. Students also analyse paintings by Governor Davey of Van Diemen’s Land, using the sources to investigate the changing relationship between the indigenous population and European settlers. They are then challenged to prioritise the most significant changes brought about by European colonisation and justify their choices. The lesson includes retrieval practice activities, suggested teaching and learning strategies, historical interpretations, video clips, source-analysis activities and opportunities for structured debate. The lesson is fully enquiry-based, with a key question introduced at the beginning and revisited at the end, allowing students to demonstrate how their thinking and understanding have developed. Included in this lesson: Fully editable PowerPoint lesson Australia before European settlement Arrival and settlement of Europeans European attitudes towards indigenous peoples Impact of colonisation ‘Horrible Histories’ and historical accuracy Historical source scholarship Extract from Empireland by Sathnam Sanghera Analysis of Governor Davey’s paintings Retrieval practice activities Suggested teaching and learning strategies Please leave a review, which would be gratefully received.

I have created my own which can be carried out during one lesson or over a sequence of lessons. I have used Barnaby Bear’s trip to Australia as a starter. With the Australian animal resource I challenged my middle ability group to create a poster and present it to the class in the plenary.
