    This document provides resources to support teaching Indigenous perspectives in the NSW Stage 6 Chemistry syllabus. It outlines three modules that focus on chemical reactions, solution equilibria, and acid/base reactions. For each module, Indigenous perspectives are presented on investigating the chemical processes used to detoxify poisonous foods, understand solubility equilibria in removing toxins from foods, and explore acid/base analysis techniques applied to bush medicine. The document also provides a list of reference resources on poisonous Australian plants, how Indigenous communities used some plants as food and medicine despite toxicity, examples of specific toxic plant compounds and their uses, and general references on Aboriginal plant use and bush foods in NSW.

    Resources for

    Indigenous perspectives
    in Chemistry

    The following resources support the teaching of various outcomes in the Stage 6
    Chemistry syllabus1.

    Module 3: Reactive chemistry


     Content: Chemical Reactions
     Inquiry question: What are the products of a chemical reaction?
     Indigenous perspective: Investigate the chemical processes that occur when
    Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples detoxify poisonous food items

    Module 5: Equilibrium and acid


    reactions
     Content: Solution Equilibria
     Inquiry question: How does solubility relate to chemical equilibrium?
     Indigenous perspective: Investigate the use of solubility equilibria by
    Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples when removing toxicity from
    foods, for example, toxins in cycad fruit

    Module 6: Acid/base reactions


     Content: Quantitative Analysis
     Inquiry question: How are solutions of acids and bases analysed?
     Indigenous perspective: Explore acid/base analysis techniques that are
    applied by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples
