Primary Science Education Conference

In this workshop participants will be guided through an example of Traditional Australian Aboriginal glue making practices for the construction of knives and axes. During the glue making process, through conversation, we explore the knowledge and wisdom of this ancient technique of the Nyoongar people from the South West of Western Australia. The characteristics and physical properties of the glue produced will be compared to that of Polymorph. Throughout the workshop we provide elaborations, and give context to, the Traditional intergenerational knowledge of what, where, how and why the resources from the Australian bush were gathered and used.
