Are you looking for curriculum-aligned Earth & Space Sciences investigations that are fun, low-prep and educational? You need our Earth & Space Sciences Investigations teacher resource!

Each one-page investigation includes an example inquiry question, a list of easy-to-find-equipment, a simple procedure and bonus ideas. The investigations are based on the following inquiry questions:

1. How do crystals form naturally in rocks?
2. What are the stages of the water cycle?
3. How do environmental factors affect evaporation?
4. How do different forces affect erosion over time?
5. How does Earth’s title affect day and night?

This set of five purposeful templates have been designed to align with the V9 Earth & Space Sciences Australian Curriculum. In addition to developing their science understanding, each investigation provides opportunities for students to apply scientific inquiry skills, including posing questions, making predictions, following a procedure, making observations and reflecting upon results.
