Environment and sustainability teaching resources help Australian primary teachers address one of the three cross-curriculum priorities in the Australian Curriculum — Sustainability. These resources support students in understanding ecological systems, human impact on the environment, and the actions individuals and communities can take to create a more sustainable future. From Foundation to Year 6, sustainability education builds informed and responsible citizens.
TeachBuySell features environment and sustainability resources created by Australian teachers who are passionate about embedding this cross-curriculum priority into everyday teaching. Browse unit plans, worksheets, classroom activities, and display materials covering topics such as recycling, biodiversity, water conservation, climate, renewable energy, and caring for local environments. Many resources connect to Science (biological and earth sciences), HASS (geography, civics and citizenship), and English (persuasive writing, information texts).
Environment resources are ideal for integrated teaching and align naturally with calendar events such as Earth Day, Clean Up Australia Day, World Environment Day, and National Science Week. Whether you are guiding Foundation students through a simple recycling sorting activity or supporting Year 6 students to write a persuasive text about environmental action, these resources provide the structure and engagement your students need.
