Name: Unit 1 - Science Year 1 (V8)Duration: 10 Weeks
Year Level: Year 1
Applicable LearningAreas/Subjects: Science
Unit Plan
Living adventureIn this unit students make links between external features of living things and the environments in which they live. They consider how the needs of living things are met in a variety of habitats. They compare differences between healthy and unhealthy habitats, and suggest how changes to habitats can affect how the needs of living things are met. Students understand that science helps people care for environments and living things, and they use science knowledge to recommend changes to improve habitats and care for the environment. They share observations using scientific and everyday language.

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:

Throughout this unit, students will require ready access to ICT at a whole-class and small-group 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 and Devices http://ppr.det.qld.gov.au/corp/ict/management/Procedure%20Attachments/Information%20Communication%20and%20Technology/advice.DOCX.
SafetyTeachers 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 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
ensure risk assessment includes allergic reactions to plants or animals at field sites

ConsiderationsAssessing student learningAssessment name: Describing a habitatAssessment description: Students describe changes in their local environment and how different places meet the needs of living things. Students respond to questions, make predictions and share their observations with others.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:Monitoring activityActivity name: Constructing a scientific drawing of a habitat including how it meets the needs of living things (Lesson 4)Activity description: Students draw and label a familiar habitat, including features of the habitat that meet the needs of living things.Activity name: Observing, describing and reflecting on a healthy habitat (Lessons 5-6)Activity description: Students make predictions about and complete a field study of a local healthy habitat. Students record their observations and ideas about the living things and other features of the habitat. Students pose questions about changes that could make the habitat become unhealthyFeedbackFeedback may relate to misunderstandings and common alternative conceptions. In this unit this may include, students:
generalising animal features (e.g. birds have sharp pointy beaks, long wings and short legs). Use visual stimuli, such as models or images, to highlight the differences in external features.
not recognising the external features being represented. Choose a familiar animal and ask the student to move like that animal and identify the external features they are representing using generalisations rather than observations of plants. Encourage students to look carefully at a plant to observe it, and ask questions to elicit observable details and descriptions. not recognising that plants include trees, shrubs, flowers, weeds. Explain to students that plants include all of these things. Use images or actual plants of various types to reinforce
this. confusing habitat with environment. Explain that the environment is the whole area, whereas the habitat is a place within the environment where a living thing lives. thinking that the word 'healthy' refers only to people. Explain that a healthy habitat is one that is able to provide for the needs of living things. thinking that plants are part of a habitat rather than living things in a habitat. Explain that plants are living things that exist within a habitat, as well as helping to create the habitat. thinking that the term 'unhealthy' refers only to people being sick. Explain that unhealthy is the opposite of healthy. Although unhealthy people can be sick, habitats are considered
unhealthy rather than sick, if they do not provide for the needs of living things. not combining their knowledge of external features and needs when determining if a habitat is suitable for a living thing. Explain the strong connection between habitats and external
features by giving examples. generalising when describing plant colours (e.g. all leaves are green). Show students a variety of colours of plants or leaves to encourage them to recognise the diversity of shades of
colour. Consider vision needs of individual students, e.g. colour blindness.
