• TLF-IDA006039

In this activity, students try germinating a range of different seeds. They explore ways to collect seeds, describe the features of the seeds they gather, draw and label their seeds, then sow their seeds, water them and make observations over time. The activity includes a list of what is required, suggestions of what to ...

• TLF-IDA004559

In this lesson sequence, students identify characteristics of living things and distinguish living things from non-living things. They identify and describe patterns and understand how scientists use external features to group living and non-living things. Students describe and follow a sequence of steps involving decisions ...

• TLF-IDA004850

In this sequence of 7 lessons, students learn about the transfer of heat, resultant changes in temperature and the conductivity of materials. They explore this concept through the context of what happens to playground equipment on a hot sunny day. By investigating sources of heat, how heat is transferred between objects, ...

• TLF-IDM020974

This resource guides students through an extended school-based or local investigation focussed on waste and materials using the five-step sustainability action process. The resource supports the investigation of a real-world issue or problem. Students develop and implement a chosen sustainability action and then evaluate ...

• TLF-IDM020872

This biodiversity learning resource guides students through an extended school based investigation. Students develop and implement a chosen sustainability action and then evaluate and reflect on their success and their learning.

• TLF-IDL540

Run experiments in a plant research laboratory. Investigate the effects of different variables on the growth of lettuces, peas and tomatoes. Research the answers to questions about how to achieve optimum hydroponic growth conditions. Examine the effect of key variables on growth: nitrogen, temperature, light intensity and ...

• TLF-IDM016546

One page with links to websites with interactive resources, information and activities to support primary students investigating energy and the Climate Clever Energy Savers program.

• TLF-IDA005807

In this set of learning activities, students investigate how heat energy from the Sun transfers across a variety of materials, affecting the internal temperature of lunch containers. They conduct experiments to identify materials that absorb or reflect heat and draw on their findings to create, test and justify designs ...
