Year 5 & 6 Design & Technologies- Electrical Energy Unit

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

A 10 week unit (10 lessons designed to be taught over a term) where students investigate electrical energy and can control movement, sound or light in a designed product or system, addressing aspects of the HASS Australian Curriculum version 9.

✩ This 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.

✩ The editable planner includes relevant Australian Curriculum links.

✩ The lessons are kept simple and succinct, five to six steps each, to help you save time. The clear instructions highlight the key points, allowing you to focus on the students and make the most of the learning opportunities.

✩ Mrs Amy123 is known for its fun and engaging lessons that involve a wide range of cooperative learning strategies. This means that some lessons will not feature worksheets, though many will.

✩ This unit also includes a grading guide that shows what each grade (A-E) would look like based on two activities from the unit. This document is also linked to the Achievement Standard for Year 5/6 Technologies.

Please note, this unit requires batteries, wires and aligator clips for a couple of the lessons or the use of a building kit that has a battery component such as a Lego or Meccano set.
