Social Sciences Unit 1 - Identity, culture & organisation

This social sciences unit is a great starter to help unpack the key New Zealand social sciences learning outcomes broken down into identity, culture and organisation. This unit follows through five lessons that break down key learning that make up this unit with a range of activities, learning opportunities and resources.
