Plan a sequence of 5 (assume a 60-minute lesson) science lessons using the 5E model. Focus on one year one conceptual area of Science. Plan a series of interesting, hands-on and exciting lessons that are based on the Australian Science Curriculum. Choose a relevant content descriptor to develop over the series of 5 lessons around the 5E model. For example, Year 4 Biological Science Living things depend on each other and the environment to survive (ACSSU073)

A brief rationale also needs to be included to clarify the aims and curriculum intention of the program and demonstrate your understanding of unit materials.

Your teaching and learning program will need to:

Align with the Australian Curriculum of Science Learning Area

Use proformas to scaffold your report

Focus on the content descriptor for ONE year 4 in ONE conceptual area of Science

Include aspects from the Science Inquiry Skills and Science as a Human Endeavour strand, appropriate to the year 4

Include three assessment types within your program (1 diagnostic, 1 formative and 1 summative)

Clearly demonstrate how the 5E method is applied?

 

Incorporate current Science teaching and learning theory and strategies as examined throughout the unit.

 

Include one integration opportunity for cross-curricular learning (be specific to how and where it would link)?

Include one integration opportunity for another learning area (be specific to how and where it would link)?
