cconstruct a map which shows
the different climates in Australia.
They must also identify and label
one place in each type of
climate. Next they write a
paragraph about what it would
be like to live in a climate unlike
their own. As a class students
create inquiry questions to use
while Investigating 2 countries.
They
interpret a climate
graph and a map of the Asia
Pacific region to answer these
questions. Finally students
create a Venn diagram and a
table to represent the similarities
and differences between
countries.

Students explore the ways in
which substances change,
including the effects of heating
and cooling substances. They
are provided with a scenario in
which 2 children are conducting
an investigation into melting ice.
The students are asked to
decide what the investigable
question would have been and to
predict what would happen when
the children put the ice-cube on
a saucer and left it near a heater.

Students explore different
representations of the movement
of the Earth in relation to the sun,
including interactive animations
and role playing. They participate
in discussion about how day and
night occur on Earth and explore
the effects of being in different
locations on Earth.
Students complete an annotated
diagram to explain day and night.
They develop and apply key
vocabulary to be used in this
diagram. Students consider how
being in a different location
affects the time of day the sun
rises and sets. They consider the
implications of different time
zones.
conduct research into common
birds and make predictions
(based on their experiences e.g.
birds they have seen
themselves) about the number of
each bird they will see as they
investigate the school grounds
and surrounding areas.
Students then complete a walk
through the bush to gather data.
As a class they share data and
represent it on a graph. Students
also observe feathers, using
comparisons of the 2 organisms
and draw a conclusion about
features common to living things,
measurements to represent the
size of the feathers and make
predictions about which bird the
feather might have come from.
They research their predicted
bird and present their findings.

The students are told that when
the children returned 2 hours
later, the saucers were empty.
The students then develop a

happened to the ice cube.
Students explore the ways in
which heat moves within and
between objects. They discuss
hot objects around the home and
the materials they are made of.
The language of ‘conductors’
and ‘insulators’ is introduced.
