Need help figuring out where to start preparing to teach Year 5 Biological Sciences? Our Surviving in Specific Habitats Unit is exactly what you need to get started!

Over the course of this 8-lesson inquiry-based unit, students will complete a variety of purposeful and engaging learning tasks that are aligned to the Year 5 Australian Biological Sciences Curriculum. They will explore concepts related to the structural features and behaviours of living things that enable their survival in specific habitats (AC9S5U01) and why advances in science are often the result of collaboration or building on the work of others (AC9S5H01).

The unit pack comes in a downloadable zip folder and contains the following resources:

• Unit Guide: includes a scope and sequence, unit overview, lesson plans with associated worksheets, a booklet with selected worksheets, two assessments with assessment rubrics, suggested resources and tiered vocabulary lists.
• PowerPoint: for use with specific lessons providing topical information.
