In this activity, students are introduced to water's different states of matter using the provided 'The water cycle' poster and 'Whizzy's incredible journeys' pick-a-path book.
These lessons use a story-telling content and are designed to promote student understanding of why water is vital to living things, sources and uses of water, how water changes in the water cycle and why and how to use water wisely.
In this lesson, students participate in four tasks to develop an understanding of the properties of water, specifically how water changes when warmed or cooled.
In this lesson sequence students use conceptual diagrams to identify features and relationships between features in the local waterway. Students create a conceptual diagram, using a hypothetical waterway from 'The story of a river'. They then create a digital conceptual diagram online using data collected from their local ...
In this activity, students use a story of a fictional river to explore the impacts of various land uses on the ecological health of a river. This demonstration can be used to introduce science or geography concepts related to your local catchment e.g. land uses, water cycle, human impacts and contaminants or waste in river ...
The unit has been written to develop students' understanding of the importance of water as a resource and to promote its wise usage. If possible, organise to implement this unit in a term in which you are likely to receive rain.
In this lesson, students explore the properties of water using their senses. This activity is useful as a quick introduction to the topic
In this culminating activity, students use their understanding about how people use and manage water to respond to hypothetical scenarios about water shortages. In this activity, students discuss 'what if' scenarios: possible reasons for the shortages, possible consequences and ways to manage the situation.
In this lesson sequence, students explore what water is and how it behaves as it changes from ice to liquid water to water vapour. The purpose of this lesson sequence is to give students a mental picture of water molecules. Learning about how these molecules behave when water is heated and cooled can help them to understand ...
In this activity, student groups investigate how to clean a dirty water mixture. The groups compete to see who can design a filter that produces the cleanest water in the shortest time
In this activity, students discuss why access to clean drinking water is important and discover ways to save water at school and at home. These ideas can be supplemented with additional learning experiences negotiated with students and decided according to interest and need.
In this activity students create a solar still and use a predict-observe-explain strategy to investigate how coloured salty water transforms into clear unsalted water. This activity is useful for exploring changes of state (evaporation and condensation) and water cycles.
This unit of eight lessons poses the question ‘Are we living sustainably?’ Students use prompts to draw on their prior knowledge to explain what they already know about sustainability. They then investigate why water is precious, explore how water is used around their school and at home. Students then research ways that ...
This is a comprehensive education package based on of the world's most exciting ecological restoration projects that is happening right now in Western Australia! It features interactive virtual tours, 3D skulls, videos, real-action inquiry projects, research projects, native animal educational card games and activities, ...
This Manual assists teachers and students establish butterfly gardens in their schoolgrounds. It provides information about butterfly lifecycles, habitats, adaptations, and requirements to live. The manual also provides local Indigenous perspectives of butterflies, along with useful links to websites. The manual accompanies ...
Water is an important resource, and is required by all living species to survive. Water is also important for many industries and businesses. This activity investigates the different land uses over time across your local catchment. OUTCOMES are for children to: understand the natural and urban water cycle; learn about the ...
Investigate the journey of water through the environment, from the mountains to the sea through an active demonstration. Discover and discuss changes to quality of the water on this journey through the environment? OUTCOMES of this learning activity are for students to: understand the journey of water from taps to the ocean; ...
In this activity, students conduct a home water audit to estimate how much water their family uses and how to reduce their water waste.
In this lesson sequence, students conduct a school water audit and devise an evidence-based action plan to reduce water wastage in the school. They then write a report to the school environment committee recommending three actions that the committee could take to reduce water use in the school.
In this activity, students explore what happens to rain falling on different surfaces.
