Your students will embark on a series of hands-on and engaging lessons in this Foundation Physical Sciences unit.   This 5-lesson inquiry-based unit focuses on describing and understanding how objects move and the factors that influence this movement.   Starting with the human body, students will consider different movements and as the unit progresses, they will apply their understanding of movement to a range of activities. With a hands-on component in every lesson, students will have ample opportunity to test theories and move their bodies.   Students will be introduced to the scientific method, completing two experiments during the unit, the second coming with an assessment rubric.   This unit includes everything you need to confidently plan, teach and assess 5 lessons of Physical Sciences, Science Inquiry and Science as Human Endeavour V9 Australian Curriculum-aligned content.   The unit plan package downloads as a zip file and contains the following resources:

1. Unit Guide: includes a Scope and Sequence, Unit Overview, lesson plans with associated resources, assessments, rubrics, suggested resources and tiered vocabulary lists.
