A worksheet used to check the students’ knowledge of forces.
This teaching presentation introduces the force of gravity and using air resistance to counteract this force.
A science experiment which investigates the buoyancy of different objects when placed in water.
A teaching presentation investigating the force of friction.
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.

A science experiment which explores the growth and change of a seedling.
An integrated science and art activity for observing plants in the environment.
Engaging activities where students observe and describe their outdoors environment.
This Biological Sciences unit explores how living things grow and change. Animal offspring (including humans) are compared with their parents and plants are grown from seed in order to observe change over a period of weeks.
An assessment task in which students will demonstrate their knowledge and understanding of how living things grow and change.
A 60 minute lesson in which students will demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the stages of the human life cycle.
A 60 minute lesson in which students will develop their understanding of the concept of metamorphosis.
A 60 minute lesson in which students will demonstrate knowledge and understanding of simple life cycles.
A 60 minute lesson in which students will compare observable features of adults and offspring and identify the proper names of adults and their offspring.
A 60 minute lesson in which students will plant seeds following the procedure of the scientific method.
A 60 minute lesson in which students will develop an understanding of the procedures scientists use and design one segment of an experiment.
A 60 minute lesson in which students will activate prior knowledge about how living things change as they grow.
