• TLF-IDM020248

This is a student digital resource that contains interactive materials for exploring many aspects of energy including energy transfers and conservation, force and energy transfers in systems, energy efficiency, the motion of objects, and acceleration and Newton’s laws. This resource contains a rich array of digital interactive ...

• TLF-IDM020247

This is a student guide that takes an in-depth look at motion, energy transfers and transformations, force and energy systems, energy efficiency, and the movement and the acceleration of objects. This resource contains different parts or chapters, each with information, images and diagrams, inquiry activities with detailed ...

• TLF-IDR11949

This is a collection of 25 digital curriculum resources about planning and conducting scientific investigations. The collection is organised into four sections that correspond to the Science Understanding sub-strands of the Australian Curriculum - Biological sciences; Chemical sciences; Earth and space sciences; and Physical ...

• TLF-IDM020246

This is a teacher guide containing materials to support the planning and implementation of a unit of work on motion and energy. It contains lessons and inquiry sequences on topics including energy transfers and transformations in systems and events, different forms of energy, the energy of moving things, Newton’s laws, ...

• TLF-IDM019535

This is an interactive resource about how greenhouse gases affect the climate. Students use a simulation to explore the atmosphere during the ice age and today. They change variables such as adding clouds, changing greenhouse gas concentrations and see how the temperature changes. They can then compare this to the effect ...

• TLF-IDM019533

This is an interactive resource allowing students to explore the energy balance between incoming and outgoing radiation on the earth. Students use a simulation to control the amounts of carbon dioxide and clouds present and learn how these factors can influence global temperature. They record results using snapshots of ...

• TLF-IDM019530

This is an interactive resource in which students collect real data and relate changes in sunlight to the temperature of air trapped in a container. Students build a miniature 'greenhouse' out of a plastic container and plastic wrap, fill it with different materials and observe the effect this has on temperature. Students ...

• TLF-IDM025352

This lesson plan investigates ways in which automobile manufacturers seek to reduce injuries that occur in car accidents. Students note the effects of car accidents on human bodies, the factors that influence the type and severity of injuries, and the safety ratings of vehicles in which they travel regularly. The resource ...

• TLF-IDL5919

Build models of the DNA molecules that make up chromosomes. Discover how the components match up to make a double helix. For example, discover that the bases adenine and thymine pair up to form ‘rungs’ of the helix. This learning object is the second in a series of five objects that progressively increase in difficulty. ...

• TLF-IDL5918

Zoom in on a living plant to see views down to the atomic level. Discover how each component consists of smaller parts. Identify the parts that carry the instructions for the plant’s characteristics. For example, observe that the chromosomes are made of DNA. This learning object is the first in a series of five objects ...

• TLF-IDL5826

Investigate the internal structure of the Earth using earthquake measurements. Examine the Earth’s outer layer. Fit the Earth's tectonic plates together like a jigsaw puzzle. Identify how plate movements produce many features of the Earth’s surface. Predict the formation of new volcanic islands. This learning object is ...

• TLF-IDL8031

Watch radioactive decay happen at the sub-atomic level. Make predictions and analyse graphs resulting from the decay of an array of radioactive atoms in order to determine the half-life of the element. For example, find the half-life of the radioactive element used in carbon dating, carbon-14. This learning object is a ...

• TLF-IDL2018

Investigate the spread of a disease in the fictional town of Waverly. Examine patients and match their symptoms to diseases such as avian flu, hepatitis A, Ross River virus disease or whooping cough. Decide which medical tests are needed to confirm the diagnosis. Identify how the disease is spread and places where the disease-causing ...
