• TLF-IDS7159

This comprehensive teacher resource explores melting, evaporating, dissolving, burning and chemical reactions through a series of collaborative inquiry-based learning activities. The factors that influence the rate of change are developed through hands-on activities and student-planned investigations, and physical and chemical ...

• TLF-IDL418

Explore why a frog population is declining. Look at changes in the pond over time: water quality, habitat loss and predation by introduced species. Build a food web for the pond. Model population interactions. Identify which species have the greatest impact on the frog. Build a report using evidence you have collected to ...

• TLF-IDS7155

This comprehensive teacher resource explores the role of electrons in transferring energy in electric circuits through a series of collaborative inquiry-based learning activities. Investigations of batteries, light bulbs, switches, conductors and insulators develop an understanding of how battery-operated devices, such ...

• TLF-IDS8634

This comprehensive teacher resource focuses on electrical circuits, electrical energy and the energy transformations that occur in circuits. Students explore circuits in familiar object such as torches, design their own circuits using energy sources, lights and other components, and explore the energy changes in their circuits. ...

• TLF-IDS8663

This comprehensive teacher resource focuses on how soil salinity affects the growth of plants. Students engage in hands on activities, growing their own plants under different conditions and observing the effect of different levels of salinity in their soil. They consider the causes of salinity in Australian soils and the ...

• TLF-IDM025140

Reducing carbon dioxide emissions and sustainable energy use and are two of the major issues facing the world today. This project explores energy use in homes, and compares individual energy use with the class average and calculate and graph CO2 emissions.

• TLF-IDS8371

This resource, including student videos, provides opportunities for students to investigate the movement of electricity through electrical circuits. Students explore different ways to form a closed circuit to light a bulb, and classify materials as conductors or non-conductors (insulators) of electricity. Students research ...

• TLF-IDL419

Find out how animals use a pond habitat in different ways. Answer a short quiz about how organisms are adapted to their environment. Explore a pond and discover four sub-habitats. Capture specimens for study by choosing collection tools which don't hurt the animals or damage the study area. Collect animals from a grassy ...

• TLF-IDL2543

Shine different combinations of primary colours onto a white object. See if the colour is different from what you would expect to be produced if mixing coloured paints. For example, will combining red and blue light produce purple, magenta or white light? This learning object is one in a series of two learning objects. ...

• TLF-IDM012794

This is a teaching and learning resource that contains over 40 pages of student resources and a number of teacher resources about the biology, chemistry and environmental pressures of coral reef and marine ecosystems. The student resources include worksheets, investigations and structured discussions on a range of topics, ...
