Australian Curriculum Year 2 Chemical Science Unit

Includes update to version 9 of the Australian Curriculum in addition to a version for 8.4. ✓ Editable Unit Planner ✓ Grading Guide ✓ Editable PowerPoint ✓ Worksheets ✓ Success Criteria/Learning Intentions

In this Year 2 Science unit, students recognise that materials can be changed physically and explore the effect of different actions, aligned to the Australian Curriculum.

✩ It is an 10 lesson unit (designed to be taught over a term) that contains all lesson resources including worksheets and posters.

✩ The editable planner includes relevant Australian Curriculum links and resources needed column.

✩ The lessons are kept simple and succinct, five to six steps each, to help you save time. The clear instructions highlight the key points, allowing you to focus on the students and make the most of the learning opportunities.

✩ This Science unit also contains an editable PowerPoint presentation that can be displayed during each lesson. It includes the learning intentions/success criteria, key discussion points, worksheets and display resources. This makes teaching every lesson even easier if your classroom has a T.V or Smartboard.

✩ Mrs Amy123 is known for its fun and engaging lessons that involve a wide range of cooperative learning strategies. This means that some lessons will not feature worksheets, though many will. The unit is made as hands on as possible including class and small group experiments.

✩ This unit also includes a grading guide that shows what each grade (A-E) would look like based on two activities from the unit. This document is also linked to the Achievement Standard for Year 2 Science.

♦ Editable planner (7 pages)

♦ Worksheets & Resources (including answer keys) (46 pages)

♦ Editable PowerPoint Presentation (100+ pages) (Version 9 only)

Outcomes covered:

Chemical Sciences: · Recognise that materials can be changed physically without changing their material composition and explore the effect of different actions on materials including bending, twisting, stretching and breaking into smaller pieces (AC9S2U03) Version 9

Different materials can be combined for a particular purpose (ACSSU031) Version 8.4

Science Endeavour: Describe how people use science in their daily lives, including using patterns to make scientific predictions (AC9S2H01)

Inquiry Skills: ·

· Pose questions to explore observed simple patterns and relationships and make predictions based on experiences (AC0S2I01)

· Suggest and follow safe procedures to investigate questions and test predictions (AC9S2I02)

· Make and record observations, including informal measurements, using digital tools as appropriate (AC9S2I03)

· Sort and order data and information and represent patterns, including with provided tables and visual or physical models (AC9SI04)

· Compare observations with predictions and others’ observations, consider if investigations are fair and identify further questions with guidance (AC9S2I05)

Write and create texts to communicate observations, findings and ideas, using everyday and scientific vocabulary (AC9S2I06)
