Year 1 -Physical Science- Australian Curriculum

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 1 Science unit, students describe pushes and pulls in terms of strengths and direction and predict the effect of these forces on motion and shape, 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.

✩ 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 1 Science.

Included are:

♦ Editable planner (6 pages)

♦ Resources (45 pages)

♦ Editable Grading Guide (1 page)

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

♦ Editable learning intentions and success criteria

Outcomes covered:

Physical Sciences: · Describe pushes and pulls in terms of strength and direction and predict the effect of these forces on objects’ motion and shape (AC9S1U03)

Science Endeavour: Describe how people use science in their daily lives, including using patterns to make scientific predictions (AC9S1H01)

Inquiry Skills: · Pose questions to explore observed simple patterns and relationships and make predictions based on experiences (AC9S1I01)

· Suggest and follow safe procedures to investigate questions and test predictions (AC9S1I02)

· Make and record observations, including informal measurements, using digital tools as appropriate (AC9S1I03)

· Sort and order data and information and represent patterns, including with provided tables and visual or physical models (AC9S1I04)

· Compare observation with predictions and others’ observations, consider if investigations are fair and identify further questions with guidance (AC9S1I05)

Write and create texts to communicate observations, findings and ideas, using everyday and scientific vocabulary (AC9S1I06)
