Units
Unit 1
Animal Life Cycles
Life cycles of butterflies, frogs, chickens and mammals, and how some animals change a lot while others look like small adults.
Curriculum outcome: Life Science: Animal Growth and Changes · life cycles of butterflies, frogs, chickens and mammals, and how animals change as they grow
Unit 2
Growing and Healthy
Practises how animals, including people, change as they grow, what they need to stay healthy, and the basic food groups.
Curriculum outcome: Life Science: Animal Growth and Changes · how animals and people grow, what they need, and the basic food groups
Unit 3
Air & Water for Life
Air takes up space, the three states of water, why all living things need clean air and water, and how people can protect and share water.
Curriculum outcome: Earth and Space Science: Air and Water in the Environment · air takes up space, the states of water, and how people use and protect water
Unit 4
Water World
The water cycle, where our water comes from, and simple ways to save water and keep rivers clean.
Curriculum outcome: Earth and Space Science: Air and Water in the Environment · the water cycle, where water comes from, and ways to save and protect it
Unit 5
Wind and Weather
Practises noticing air as it moves, measuring wind and precipitation, and choosing ways to protect things in different weather.
Curriculum outcome: Earth and Space Science: Air and Water in the Environment · air that takes up space, wind, measuring rain and protecting things in weather
Unit 6
Solids & Liquids
Sorting solids and liquids, describing melting, freezing and boiling, and changes that can or can't be undone.
Curriculum outcome: Physical Science: Liquids and Solids · sorting solids and liquids and describing melting, freezing and boiling
Unit 7
Mixtures & Materials
Mixing liquids and solids (dissolving, separating), what sinks or floats, and which materials soak up or push away water.
Curriculum outcome: Physical Science: Liquids and Solids · mixing liquids and solids, what sinks or floats, and materials that soak up water
Unit 8
Push & Pull
Pushes and pulls, magnets, gravity, and how surfaces slow things down.
Curriculum outcome: Physical Science: Relative Position and Motion · pushes and pulls and the things that change how an object moves
Unit 9
Where Is It?
Practises describing where an object is in relation to other objects, and seeing that the same object can look different from different positions.
Curriculum outcome: Physical Science: Relative Position and Motion · describing position relative to other objects and from different perspectives
Unit 10
Build It to Move
Practises building an object that moves in a chosen way, and predicting and testing what makes it go faster or slower.
Curriculum outcome: Physical Science: Relative Position and Motion · building objects that move and testing what makes them faster or slower
