Year Level: Year 1

Applicable LearningAreas/Subjects: Science

Unit PlanChanges around meIn this unit students will describe the observable features of a variety of landscapes and skies. They will consider changes in the sky and landscape, and the impact of these changes on themselves and other living things.

Students will represent observable features and share ideas with others about changes in the sky and landscapes and how they affect everyday life.

For further information to support teaching of the unit, view the: 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:

Safety

Teachers need to identify safety issues and conduct risk assessments. For this unit teachers should: refer to the Health and Safety http://education.qld.gov.au/health/safety/index.html policy pertaining to schools consult the Curriculum Activity Risk Management Guidelines http://education.qld.gov.au/curriculum/carmg/index.html

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

ensure students do not look directly at the sun, and warn them of dangers.

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.

Throughout this unit, students will require ready access to ICT at a whole-class, small-group and individual level. Such ICT include spreadsheet software, graphing software, graphic calculators or mobile device apps. Note: A mobile device is a portable computing device, typically having a display screen with touch input or a miniature keyboard. Ensure that the use of ICT in the classroom, including mobile devices, complies with DET policy requirements - Advice for State Schools on Acceptable Use of ICT Facilities

Cross-curriculum prioritiesAboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and culturesStudents will develop a knowledge, deep understanding and respect for Aboriginal peoples' and Torres Strait Islander peoples' history and culture and build an awareness that their histories are part of a shared history belonging to all Australians.The embedding of Aboriginal peoples' and Torres Strait Islander peoples' histories and cultures into the curriculum can be a challenging task. For further information, including pedagogical approaches, refer to C2C: Aboriginal peoples & Torres Strait Islander peoples Cross Curriculum Priority support https://oneportal.deta.qld.gov.au/EducationDelivery/Stateschooling/schoolcurriculum/Curriculumintotheclassroom/Pages/C2CAandTSICCPSupport.aspx.Asia and Australia's engagement with AsiaStudents will learn about and recognise the diversity within and between the countries of the Asia region. They will develop knowledge and understanding of Asian societies, cultures, beliefs and environments, and the connections between the peoples of Asia, Australia, and the rest of the world. Students will develop skills to communicate and engage with the peoples of Asia so they can effectively live, work and learn in the region.For further information, refer to Asia and Australia's engagement with Asia in the Australian Curriculum and the Learning area statements.SustainabilityStudents will develop the knowledge, skills, values and world views necessary for people to act in ways that contribute to more sustainable patterns of living.For further information, refer to Sustainability in the Australian Curriculum and the Learning area statements.Assessing student learningAssessment name: Exploring sky and landAssessment description: Students describe objects and events that they encounter in their everyday lives. Students describe changes in the local environment. Students respond to questions and sort and share observations.In this unit, assessment of student learning aligns to the following aspects of the achievement standard.By the end of Year 1, students describe objects and events that they encounter in their everyday lives, and the effects of interacting with materials and objects. They describe changes in their local environment and how different places meet the needs of living things.Students respond to questions, make predictions, and participate in guided investigations of everyday phenomena. They follow instructions to record and sort their observations and share them with others.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 observations, consultations and samples of student work. For example:

identify and describe or represent features of the day sky identify and describe or represent features of the night sky identify and describe or represent landscape features identify and describe or represent how changes in sky and landscape affect daily lives.

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

using prior knowledge rather than observation. Remind students that they need to observe, using the senses, and only describe or record features they can actually observe. thinking that clouds only appear during the day. Explain that clouds are a part of weather conditions, so they can appear in both day and night; they may be more difficult to see at

night because it is dark. making generalisations (e.g. thinking that clouds only appear during the day or that if it is cloudy, it will rain). Explain that clouds are a feature of the weather condition, so may appear

at day and night. Explain to students that not all clouds produce rain; there are different types of clouds; the darker, heavier clouds have more water and are therefore more likely to produce rain.

thinking that all landscapes are the same. Explain that there are many different landscapes, with different features. thinking that landscapes are constant and unchanging. Explain that landscapes change for reasons such as weather, human activity etc. thinking that weather stays the same all day and night. Explain to students that weather conditions may change at any time. thinking that sky and landscapes are constant and unchanging. Explain to students that landscapes and the sky can change, either through nature or human actions. thinking that all animals sleep at night. Explain to students that some animals are awake at night and sleep during the day. These are called nocturnal animals.
