Composite Year 4/5 Science Units- Australian Curriculum

Includes update to version 9 of the Australian Curriculum in addition to a version for 8.4. ✓ Editable Unit Planner ✓ Grading Guide ✓ Editable PowerPoint ✓ Worksheets ✓ Success Criteria/Learning Intentions

This is a pack of units that address ALL the Year 4 and 5 Science outcomes from the Australian Curriculum.

These units are for teacher who need to fit both Year 4 and 5 outcomes into a single 1 hour Science unit each week.

This pack is NOT for teachers who teach a straight Year 4 or 5 class. Due to having to condense all the outcomes these units do not go in to each concept in as much detail as you should when you have a straight year level classroom. You can find individual units here

Included are:

♦ Editable Planners

♦ Lesson resources including answer keys

Version 9 units include:

♦ Editable Grading Guide

♦ Editable learning intentions and success criteria

♦ Editable PowerPoint Presentation

Version 9 units:

♦ Physical Sciences (2 x 5 lesson units)

Mini Unit 1: Students explore how force can be exerted by one object on another, and investigate the effects of forces on the motion of objects.

Mini Unit 2: Students identify sources of light and how it can create shadows and be reflected and refracted.

♦ Biological Sciences: Students explore how living things have structural features and adaptations, interact within a habitat and have feeding relationships.

♦ Chemical Sciences (2 x 5 lesson units)

Mini Unit 1: Students explore how natural and processed materials have a range of physical properties that can influence their use.

Mini Unit 2: Students explain observable properties of solids, liquids and gases by modelling the motion and arrangement of particles.

♦ Earth and Space Sciences (2 x 5 lesson units)

Mini Unit 1: Students identify sources of water and describe key processes in the water cycle.

Mini Unit 2: Students describe how weathering, erosion, transportation and deposition cause slow or rapid change to the Earth’s surface.

Version 8.4 Units:

♦ Physical Sciences

♦ Biological Sciences

♦ Chemical Sciences

♦ Earth and Space Sciences

✩ At 5-6 pages each the planners features five to six steps for each lesson, keeping it simple and succinct. Teachers need to use their own skill to ensure the lesson remains explicit and teaching opportunities are not missed.

✩ These units also includes grading guides that shows what each grade (A-E) would look like based on two activities from each unit. This documents are also linked to the Achievement Standard for Year 1 and 2 HASS.

✩ This Science unit also contains an editable PowerPoint presentation that can be displayed during each lesson. It includes the learning intentions/success criteria, key discussion points, worksheets and display resources. This makes teaching every lesson even easier if your classroom has a T.V or Smartboard.

THIS PACK CONTAINS RESOURCES THAT ARE ALSO SOLD SEPARATELY. If another resource says it is included in a year 4 or 5 Science then there is a good chance it will also be in this bundle (but not guaranteed).
