Programming
Planning for effective learning and assessment is important when developing teaching programs in science.
Teaching and learning programs
Teaching and learning programs should reflect students' progression in relation to the stage content as well as the context of individual students and schools.
Developing contexts in learning units (DOC 41 KB) explores the importance of both the local and global environment, student experience, teacher interests, using narrative as a tool for student engagement and learning through inquiry.
Teachers make connections, where relevant, across syllabus strands to assist students in seeing the connections between concepts and their real life applications. In science, units of work should focus on working scientifically and integrate knowledge and understanding outcomes across different strands to reflect the interconnectedness of science.
The blank template (DOC 55 KB) can be used to plan a science teaching program including an overview, outcomes, learning activities, registration and evaluation.
