We offer secondary science teaching sequences with classroom-ready data, differentiated and ready to go. Each sequence is free to use and comes with embedded support for understanding key ideas and pedagogical practices.
See it in action: Exploring bushfires for Year 9
Our new teaching sequences are designed from the ground up to be easily adapted for your students. You can use the step-by-step outlines as-is or adapt them using the built-in design advice, with confidence that your teaching is grounded in the latest research and fully aligned to the Australian Curriculum V9.
Students learn about the need for future space settlements to grow their own food. They examine the flow of matter and energy in space ecosystems and the need for biosecurity systems to prevent the introduction of new species.
Students learn about the behaviour, frequency and impact of bushfires in their community. They examine the science of modelling bushfires and the carbon cycle, and how the needs of the community result in the merging of new science with traditional First Nations Australians’ approaches to fire.
Students examine factors that affect the reproduction of bogong moths and antechinus mice, and analyse how the processes of r- and K-reproductive strategies have advantages and disadvantages on the survival of a species. They use their understanding of reproduction to prepare a report for the Australian Threatened Species Action Plan.
Students explore how Newton’s laws of motion are essential for designing safe autonomous vehicles.
