Science Immersion Day - Full Day and Half Day options
Overview
Students will rotate through a series of interactive scientific workshops including working scientifically with microscopes and microscopic drawings. Schools can then choose from workshops linked to the Living World ( plant structures and adaptations, pollinators and plants under the microscopes) or the Material World (materials including sustainable fibres and man made alternatives).
Curriculum Links
tudents will engage in a semester based program working scientifically to develop the skills necessary to answer the following scientific inquiry questions:
How do the structural and behavioural features of living things support survival? ( Living World)
What are the characteristics of materials? (Material World)
Curriculum Links
Science and Technology – Living World
Stage 3 of the Living World strand focuses on the growth and survival of living things, and how their adaptations over time suit their environment. Students also investigate how and why food and fibre are produced in sustainable, managed environments that enable people to grow and be healthy.
Geography – Factors that shape places
Students investigate the interactions and connections between people, places and environments and examine ways people influence the characteristics of places, including the management of spaces.
Working Scientifically: Questioning and predicting, Planning and conducting investigations, Processing and analysing data
Geographical Inquiry Skills: Acquiring geographical information, Processing geographical information, Communicating geographical information
Cross Curricula: Sustainability and Aboriginal Knowledges
Capabilities: Communication –Collaboration—21st Century Literacies–AgSTEM Knowledge
Careers Education: Careers in AgSTEM
