Communicate ideas, explanations and processes in a variety of ways, including multi-modal texts (ACSIS093) Elaborations discussing how models represent scientific ideas and constructing physical models to demonstrate an aspect of scientific understanding constructing multi-modal texts to communicate science ideas using labelled diagrams, including cross-sectional representations, to communicate ideas
Science involves testing predictions by gathering data and using evidence to develop explanations of events and phenomena (ACSHE081) Elaborations developing an understanding of the behaviour of light by making observations of its effects
Scientific understandings, discoveries and inventions are used to solve problems that directly affect peoples lives (ACSHE083) Elaborations exploring objects and devices that include parts that involve the reflection, absorption or refraction of light such as mirrors, sunglasses and prisms
Lessons ENGAGE Lesson One: Light Ideas to elicit prior knowledge, how we use light, how it travels and how light helps us to see. ENGAGE Session 1, 2, 3: as a rotation activity to continue eliciting student prior knowledge and understandings. EXPLORE Lesson 2, Lesson 3, Lesson 4: as rotation activities which allow students to explore with hands on experiences how light helps us to see, how light travels and how different materials affect the transmission of light. EXPLAIN Lesson 5: Sneaky Spy to support students to represent and explain their understanding of light and introduce current scientific views about light. ELABORATE Lesson 6: Big shadow, little shadow will support students to plan and conduct an investigation of the height of shadows. EVALUATE Lesson 7, session 1 and 2 will provide opportunities for students to represent what they know about light and to reflect on their learning during the unit.
