FULL SCIENCE Curriculum (Adjusted): 34 Lesson Plans + 3 Summative Assessment Tasks (Kindergarten/ Foundation Year)

The Adjusted Lesson Plans are designed for all students, including those with learning limitations, who may benefit from a more simplified and broader approach to learning, while still ensuring coverage of the required content descriptors for the Australian Curriculum.

Covering:
AC9SFU01 - observe external features of plants and animals and describe ways they can be grouped based on these features.
AC9SFU02 - describe how objects move and how factors including their size, shape or material influence their movement.
AC9SFU03 - recognise that objects can be composed of different materials and describe the observable properties of those materials.

AC9SFH01: explore the ways people make and use observations and questions to learn about the natural world.
AC9SFI01: pose questions and make predictions based on experiences.
AC9SFI02: engage in investigations safely and make observations using their senses.
AC9SFI03: represent observations in provided templates and identify patterns with
guidance.
AC9SFI04: compare observations with predictions with guidance.
AC9SFI05: share questions, predictions, observations and ideas with others.

Each Lesson Plan offers: Cross Curriculum Opportunities, Explicit Teaching Content (Adjusted to student level), Hands-On Learning Tasks, Creative Exploration, Assessment Options, Differentiation Strategies, Extension Tasks.
