Science - Earth and Space Sciences: 10 Lesson Plans + 1 Summative Assessment Task + FREE Student WORKBOOK (Year 7)

Unlock the Wonders of the Universe and Cultivate Future Scientists!

Tired of endless lesson prep AND designing Earth & Space Sciences units that truly engage? Our "Unveiling the Universe: A Journey of Discovery" unit delivers a complete, project-packed experience for Year 7. It provides ready-to-use, Australian Curriculum-aligned resources covering Earth's rotation and revolution, the causes of seasons, moon phases, eclipses, tides, and the history of space exploration. This unit empowers you to guide students through the exciting process of modelling and explaining the predictable cycles of our solar system from the ground up.

Benefit from:

• Effortless Delivery: Clearly defined objectives and explicit teaching content make exploring complex concepts like axial tilt, gravitational pull, lunar phases, and celestial mechanics smooth and confident for both you and your students.
• Engaging Activities: From building "Season Simulators" and creating "Eclipse Theatres" to performing kinesthetic moon phase models, using planispheres, and designing a mission to Mars, students will ignite their Critical and Creative Thinking and develop practical inquiry skills through interactive, hands-on experiences.
• Natural Skill Development: This isn't just a space unit. Embedded activities organically foster scientific reasoning (Literacy), interpreting models and data (Numeracy and ICT Capability), collaboration (Personal and Social Capability), and evaluating phenomena (Critical and Creative Thinking), aligning seamlessly with key General Capabilities.
• Extension Included: Thoughtfully designed extension prompts are included in every lesson, encouraging deeper exploration for advanced or curious learners.
• Real-Life Connections: Connect learning to real-world challenges in astronomy, meteorology, and space exploration. Empower students to innovate by exploring careers like Astronomers, Aerospace Engineers, and Planetary Scientists.

BONUS! FREE Student Workbook: This unit includes a ready-to-print student workbook, directly aligned with each lesson, saving you even more preparation time and providing valuable documentation and learning activities for your students.
