These detailed programs offer a two week unit of work that builds student skills.
Students explore daily changes in the weather. They make observations and predictions about the weather and record their observations in a weather chart. Students identify how the weather affects choices they make in their daily life.
Students learn about the characteristics and needs of living things. They recognise that living things have basic needs including air, food and water. Students apply their learning by investigating the growth of a living thing.
Students are introduced to regular atmospheric and astronomical events and their effect on the Earth.
Students focus on the observable features of living things and their environment. Students follow and represent sequences of steps and decisions (algorithms) to solve problems.
Students investigate some natural processes and human activities that cause erosion.
Students identify characteristics of living things and distinguish living things from non-living things. They identify and describe patterns and understand how scientists use external features to group living and non-living things. Students describe and follow a sequence of steps involving decisions to group things (solve a problem).
Students explore the solar system through research to complete a product and or presentation as evidence of learning.
Students identify and describe adaptations in living things and recognise them as existing structures or behaviours. They describe how, over time, these adaptations support living things to survive in their specific environment. Students complete an investigation to understand how birds’ beaks have adapted to their environment. Students research specific adaptations of native Australian animals and plants.
The two-week programs linked above all have related digital student resources and printable student workbooks that are located in our filterable resource library.
You can also find ideas and activities on our curated list of external digital resources.
Access K-6 distance education resources developed to support students that cannot access a physical school. The Distance education network offers these documents to support teachers delivering off campus learning. They are not designed for all learning contexts and are not anticipated to address all syllabus outcomes. Curriculum experts are reviewing them and when quality assured versions are available they will be highlighted.
While the resources support independent student study, they must be used in consultation with their subject teacher.
