Suggested approach to demonstrate inquiry-based Australian History Mysteries to a Faculty or Staff Meeting

  • Emphasise that the program meets the requirements of national and state/territory curricula.
  • Stress that it can be used as a cross curriculum resource in HASS, History, Geography and English.
  • Most importantly it saves teachers preparation time and includes suggested answers and solutions should teachers require these.
  • It is designed for self-paced and ‘fun’ learning – mixed age levels and abilities, different learning styles, self, group or teacher assessment and a variety of extension activities that encourage students to investigate their own communities.
  • It offers a rich array of ‘one off’ engagement activities e.g. Gold Rush Game, This Day in History, Australian History Mystery Quiz etc. perfect for relieving teachers.
  • AHM models scaffolding and inquiry learning – ‘students learn best when they solve the mysteries for themselves’:
    • Sets context to engage learners
    • Introduces the mystery 
    • Encourages best guess (initial hypothesis)
    • Provides additional activities/evidence for students to test their ‘best guess’
    • Includes hypotheticals (decision-makers) to develop empathy and further assess conclusions/findings
    • Offers myriad ways that students can present their learning outcomes
    • Encourages further research and engagement in the extension activities.
  • Whilst the program is holistic it can also be used effectively by relieving teachers.
  • This award-winning program has been developed and extensively trialled by experienced teachers and historians.
  • New units are regularly added.
  • The AHM team is available at all times to answer questions.
  • At approximately $1.00 per student it offers the very best value for the faculty budget.
