Migration
SBS has an awesome website showing the top three migrant cultures in Sydney's suburbs [http://www.sbs.com.au/news/map/where-australias-immigrants-were-born-sydney]. It is based on the latest ABS statistics. You can compare Sydney to other Australian capital cities.
Sustainability
What's happening to our forests? is a simple but very effective cartoon about why bush fires are becoming worse and how better forestry practices can reduce global warming. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1vQAWmduM4&feature=youtu.be]
Global environments
The Global Environments website [http://globalenvironments.weebly.com] was designed for Year 7 2012, but is still useful. At the moment, I have only finished the coral reefs and Polar lands sections of the website because that is what last year's students needed. If you are doing a different ecosystem, let me know and I will finish it for you.
