Name: Unit 4 - Science Year 2 (V8)Duration: 10 Weeks

Year Level: Year 2

Applicable LearningAreas/Subjects: Science

Unit Plan

Save planet EarthIn this unit students will investigate Earth's resources. They describe how Earth's resources are used and the importance of conserving resources for the future of all living things. They use informal measurements to record observations from experiments. Students use their science knowledge of conservation to propose and explain actions that can be taken to conserve Earth's resources, and decisions they can make in their everyday lives. Students share their ideas about conservation of Earth's resources in a presentation. Students will learn how Aboriginal peoples and Torres Strait Islander peoples use their knowledge of conservation in their everyday lives.

Year level plan Teacher lesson overview

Throughout the unit, ensure all students have opportunities to develop their higher-order thinking skills. Students develop skills in thinking when they are encouraged to reflect, inquire, generate, and analyse, synthesise and evaluate. Resources that support higher-order thinking skills:

SafetyTeachers need to identify safety issues and conduct risk assessments. For this unit teachers should:

refer to the Health and Safety policy pertaining to schools http://education.qld.gov.au/health/safety/index.html

consult the Curriculum Activity Risk Management Guidelines http://education.qld.gov.au/curriculum/carmg/index.html

ensure students wear personal protective equipment ensure students observe sun safety at school procedures. See Developing a sun safety strategy http://education.qld.gov.au/schools/healthy/wellbeing-guidelines/sun-safety.html

consider accessing Plants and mushrooms (fungi) poisonous to people in Queensland (Queensland Health) http://www.health.qld.gov.au/poisonsinformationcentre/plants_fungi/default.asp.

In addition to the teacher's risk assessment, students are required to complete risk assessments for their own projects, under the guidance of their teacher.

Schools should consult the Guideline for Managing Risks with Chemicals in DET Workplaces (HLS-PR-006) http://education.qld.gov.au/health/pdfs/healthsafety/guideline-managing-chemicals.pdf.

Science - Year 2

Year 2 Achievement StandardBy the end of Year 2, students describe changes to objects, materials and living things. They identify that certain materials and resources have different uses and describe examples of where science is used in people's daily lives.

Students pose and respond to questions about their experiences and predict outcomes of investigations. They use informal measurements to make and compare observations. They record and represent observations and communicate ideas in a variety of ways.

Assessing student learningAssessment name: Using Earth's resourcesAssessment description: Students identify different uses of one of Earth's resources and describe ways to conserve it. Students use informal measurements to make observations.In this unit, assessment of student learning aligns to the following aspects of the achievement standard.By the end of Year 2, students describe changes to objects, materials and living things. They identify that certain materials and resources have different uses and describe examples of where science is used in people's daily lives.Students pose and respond to questions about their experiences and predict outcomes of investigations. They use informal measurements to make and compare observations. They record and represent observations and communicate ideas in a variety of ways.Monitoring student learningStudent learning should be monitored throughout the teaching and learning process to determine student progress and learning needs.Each lesson provides opportunities to gather evidence about how students are progressing and what they need to learn next.Specific monitoring opportunities in this unit may include observation, consultations and samples of student work.Monitoring taskMonitoring name: Use of measurement activities (Lessons 1-10)Monitoring description: Students use informal measurements to measure plant growth in the soil experiment and how much water is wasted from a dripping tap.Monitoring name: Earth's resource: Soil (Lesson 4)Monitoring description: Students identify how soil is used and sort uses according to importance. Students describe why soil needs to be conserved and identify actions that could be taken to conserve soil. Students choose and justify which conservation action is the most useful.

FeedbackFeedback may relate to misunderstandings and common alternative conceptions. In this unit this may include:

not relating Earth's resources to the needs of living things. Explain that Earth provides air, water and land resources. Living things need to breathe fresh air, drink and/or live in clean water, eat food provided by the land and access shelter provided by the land

thinking that because there is a lot of water in the ocean, there is plenty of water to drink. Explain to students that the water in the ocean is too salty for most living things to drink not recognising that water wastage can contribute to a lack of water in the future. Explain to students that fresh drinking water is precious and needs to be conserved because we

can't rely on always having enough rainfall to supply water for all living things in the future thinking their own actions have no effect on water conservation. Explain that every person who uses water responsibly contributes to water conservation thinking that all soil is the same and can be used in the same way. Explain that different soil types can be used for different purposes thinking that soil/dirt is everywhere so there is no need to conserve it. Explain that contaminated or polluted soil may be unusable; we need different soil types and qualities for




Duration: 10 Weeks

different purposes, so if the right type of soil is not available, we are unable to serve these purposes, e.g. growing plants thinking that resources taken from the ground will never run out. Explain that there is a limited supply of the resources extracted from the ground thinking that their own actions have no impact on the amount of waste accumulated. Explain to students that if everybody reduces their own amount of disposable waste, there will be

less waste overall thinking that Earth is too big for their own actions to have an impact on Earth's resources. Explain that protecting the environment and conserving resources have the most success

when everyone in society performs actions to conserve Earth's resources.
