Provide answers to these questions

1. The causes of the Eureka Stockade rebellion can be inferred to be the oppressive policies of the government towards gold miners, including high taxes and lack of political representation. The miners also faced discrimination, particularly against Chinese miners. The poor living conditions, lack of rights and the feeling of being treated unfairly by the government also contributed to the cause of the rebellion.

2. The consequences of the Eureka Stockade rebellion were significant for the colony of Victoria and the nation of Australia as a whole. In the short term, the rebellion led to the granting of more rights and representation for gold miners and a more democratic government. In the long term, it helped to shape the nation's political and social development as it was one of the first steps towards a more democratic, egalitarian society. The rebellion also had an impact on the nation's economy, as it led to the development of infrastructure and businesses to support population growth. The Eureka Stockade rebellion also created a sense of unity among the gold miners and led to the formation of trade unions. Furthermore, it has become a symbol of resistance and the fight for workers’ rights and democracy.

Here is a sample program for a unit of work on the water cycle for grade 2 using outcomes from the NSW Syllabus:
Unit Title: Understanding the Water Cycle
Outcomes:
•Students will be able to identify the main stages of the water cycle.
•Students will be able to explain how water moves through the cycle.
•Students will be able to identify the role of the sun in the water cycle.
•Students will be able to identify the importance of water for living things.

Activities:
1. Introduction to the water cycle: Students will be introduced to the concept of the water cycle through a class discussion and a visual aid such as a poster or video.
2. Water cycle experiment: Students will conduct a simple experiment to observe the water cycle in action, using a clear container, water, and a small amount of food coloring. They will observe the water evaporating from the container, forming clouds, and then falling back down as precipitation.
3. Role of the sun in the water cycle: Students will learn about the role of the sun in the water cycle through a class discussion and a visual aid such as a poster or video.
4. Importance of water: Students will learn about the importance of water for living things through a class discussion and a visual aid such as a poster or video.
5. Water cycle craft: Students will create a craft that demonstrates their understanding of the water cycle, such as a mobile or a comic strip.
6. Water cycle quiz: Students will take a quiz to assess their understanding of the water cycle.
7. Conclusion: Students will reflect on what they have learned during the unit and discuss the importance of conserving water.
Note: This is just a sample program, activities and assessment methods can vary depending on the school and teacher's preferences. Also, this program should be aligned with the NSW syllabus and curriculum guidelines for grade 2 students.
