Year 2 Science - Chemical Science Unit - WA Alternative

This comprehensive 10-lesson Year 2 Chemical Science unit explores how materials can be changed physically through actions such as bending, twisting, stretching and breaking without changing their material composition. Fully aligned to Version 9 of the Australian Curriculum, this engaging unit makes teaching Chemical Sciences simple, hands-on and meaningful.

Designed to be taught across a term, this ready-to-go unit saves you hours of planning while delivering rich, inquiry-based learning experiences your students will love.

An alternative WA Curriculum planner (2026+) is also included, making this unit ideal for Western Australian teachers preparing for the new requirements.
