Aboriginal Cultures – Year 3/4 Week 8

Your task is to investigate the story behind an artefact on the South Australian Timeline.
As an historian your job is to research. Use the clues to find out the who, what, where, when, and circumstances behind the artefact.
Then to present your findings, act as a museum guide to introduce this artefact and story to your audience. Your audience could be anyone who visits the museum display.

Your story needs to answer one of the inquiry questions for your year level.
