Based on the Australian Curriculum, Processing and analysing data and information in Science Year 1 includes:
Hands-on materials designed to help students make and experiment with thermochromic slime.
A sorting card game to help students consolidate their knowledge of physical changes in Chemical Science.
A hands on sorting activity for materials that stretch, bend and twist.
A set of 89 task cards to help students learn about patterns in nature.
A science investigation in which the students observe changes that occur to various objects over time.
A teaching presentation discussing the development of a scientific hypothesis.
An educational teaching presentation introducing the students to the R.E.R.U.N. method for writing a scientific conclusion.
An educational fact sheet introducing the students to the R.E.R.U.N. method for writing a scientific conclusion.
An educational poster introducing the students to the R.E.R.U.N. method for writing a scientific conclusion.
A teaching presentation discussing the development of scientific lines of questioning.
A worksheet to help the students begin the process of a scientific investigation.
A science experiment which explores how sound travels.
A science experiment which explores the food preferences of ants.
A worksheet to use when exploring the sun as a light source.
A science experiment which explores how light travels.
A hands-on science experiment about biodegradability.
A comprehensive set of posters, activities and worksheets related to the concept of light.
This Chemical Sciences unit investigates the physical changes of materials and how properties change when materials stretch, bend, twist, heat or cool. Students predict how materials will vary and whether they can be returned to their original state.
A 60-minute lesson designed to explain how certain materials change when they are heated.
A 60-minute lesson designed to explain how certain materials change when they are cooled.
A 60-minute lesson designed to summarise the physical changes that occur when things stretch, bend, twist, heat and cool.
A 30-minute assessment designed to assess students' ability to describe physical changes in materials.
This Earth and Space Sciences unit explores how and why changes occur in the sky and landscape, and develops students' ability to describe these changes in their local environment.
This Biological Sciences unit covers a range of concepts relating to living things, such as their external features and the places in which their needs are met.
A 60 minute lesson in which students will investigate which foods ants prefer to eat.
A 60 minute lesson in which students will represent and communicate observations and ideas in a variety of ways.
This Physical Sciences unit addresses the concepts of light and sound and how they are sensed.
A 60 minute lesson in which students will investigate if light travels in a straight line.
