Year 2 Science - Physical Science Unit - Australian Curriculum

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

Year 2 Physical Science Unit: Sound, Vibrations and Forces is a comprehensive 10-lesson unit aligned to the Australian Curriculum, designed to be taught over a full term. In this engaging unit, students explore how sound is produced and recognise that sound energy causes objects to vibrate through hands-on experiments and guided inquiry.

This 10-lesson unit includes everything you need to confidently teach Year 2 Science, with clear lesson plans, editable resources and interactive learning experiences that bring Physical Sciences to life in the classroom.

✨ Why teachers love this unit
✩ Complete and ready to teach: All lesson resources are included, including worksheets, posters and display materials.
✩ Editable, curriculum-linked planning: The planner includes relevant Australian Curriculum links and a resources-needed column, supporting smooth planning and reporting.

🎯 Outcomes covered

Physical Sciences:
Explore different actions to make sounds and how to make a variety of sounds, and recognise that sound energy causes objects to vibrate (AC9S2U02) – Version 9

Sound energy is produced by a range of natural and human-made sources and can be sensed (WA2SSUP1) - WA curriculum

Science Endeavour:
Describe how people use science in their daily lives, including using patterns to make scientific predictions (AC9S2H01)

Inquiry Skills:
Pose questions to explore observed simple patterns and relationships and make predictions based on experiences (AC9S2I01)

Suggest and follow safe procedures to investigate questions and test predictions (AC9S2I02)

Make and record observations, including informal measurements, using digital tools as appropriate (AC9S2I03)

Sort and order data and information and represent patterns, including with provided tables and visual or physical models (AC9S2I04)

Compare observations with predictions and others’ observations, consider if investigations are fair and identify further questions with guidance (AC9S2I05)

Write and create texts to communicate observations, findings and ideas, using everyday and scientific vocabulary (AC9S2I06)
