In this bundle you will receive * Powerpoint presentation on how to set up your hydroponics system. * A printable information sheet on how to set up your hydroponics system. * Hydroponics recording worksheet to monitor growth and the adding of nutrients and pH levels. *Student journal for reflecting and evaluating the project.
Students were engaged in a lesson and teacher presentation about how seeds travel. They were shown a poster and some websites and youtube clips. There are plenty of sites for you to access for yourself. Student were placed in their cooperative teams and given an egg carton and magnifier. They then explored the school ground for different seed types and placed the seeds in their egg cartons. On returning to class the students investigated their seed collections to work how each seed travels.
Students will examine images about Uluru to see how it has been affected by weathering, erosion and human activity. Students will carefully examine 6 images and describe the possible causes for the shape of the landform. Which type of weathering or erosion has caused the landform to change? Students record their ideas on the worksheet. Students draw a diagram predicting how the landform of Uluru might look 100 years into the future.
At completion of the written task gather the students toget
Place students in teams of three. Students discuss and collaborate together in their teams about each coral reef threat on the worksheet.

The students were learning about how wheat is grown and made into flour. To further investigate wheat, the students made their own grass heads. There are several sites on youtube explaining how to make one. After making their grasshead the students completed a journal about their grass head character. Some of the tasks in the journal include counting the shoots, giving their grass head a name and designing a haircut. I have created this document in Word. However, I saved it to a PDF and th
Lead the students in a discussion about routines that happen at day and night. Show them the ebook story - Jack's Big Day. ww.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/presenters/stories/misc-jacksbigday
Use shared writing to list in order all the routines from Jack's day. Give each student a copy of the worksheet and a slip of A3 paper that has been trimmed in half length ways. Students cut and paste the pictures in order to show the routines in their day.
The students are placed in teams to view Robots in Industry from this website (cut and paste this address)

Each team view a set of youtube clips about a type of robot or drone. Some examples are - car manufacturing, drones, marine robots, surgical robots, autonomous vehicles, NASA robots and robots for manufacturing. After viewing the video clips students work in their teams to discuss the questions on the worksheet about the ro
This product includes Apple diagram powerpointCommence the lesson sharing the story of the 'little house with no doors or windows but with a star inside'. If you Google the story you will find plenty of versions on the internet. In this investigation each student is given one half of an apple and a ruler. The students complete the following tasks about the apple 1. Label your drawing with these words leaf stem core flesh skin seed 2. My apple has _____________ seeds. 3. My apple is __________ h
The students use their senses to discover the properties of water. Students touch, smell, listen, taste, and look at water through a variety of hands on activities. Give each student a plastic cup of water.
Seeing
Ask the students to describe what the water looks like. What color is it? What happens when you place it against a piece of coloured construction paper? What happens if you add light to the side of the water container? Have a small torch and shine this through the water.
Hearing
For each pair of students make up a small tray containing the following - blob of plasticine piece of paper a marble a balloon a rubber band The students test each material and then record their findings on the worksheet.

This is an exciting lesson. I was able to set up a night activation camera in the hollow of a tree inhabited by a family of Southern Boobook Owls. Southern Booboook Owls live in Western Australia and they are the smallest owl on the Australian continent. These movies can be used to show the behaviours of any owl species. There are six owl movies. Movie 1 - the baby owlet rotates it's head/neck 180. Movie 2 - the adult owl delivers a mouse to the owlets in the hollow. Movie 3 - the adult owl
Firstly I told the students the 'Little Star House with no doors, no windows but a star inside'. There are plenty of versions of this story on the internet if you have a browse. Then I cut an apple straight through the centre and gave one half to each pair of students. We discussed the parts that the students were familiar with - core, stalk, seeds and skin. Student's used their apple half to draw their own labelled diagram. The second component of the lesson was conducting our own investig
To conduct this activity you will need to purchase about 10-12 Hexbug Nanos. I recommend fishpond.com. Explain to the students that Hexbug Nanos are robotic toys that move and react with sensors. Show the students the following youtube clips that show how the Hexbugs manoeuvre around obstacles.

Explain to the students that they will be working in teams of three to construct and create their own maze. Firstly
The students conducted their own investigations to identify whether everyday materials are mixed or combined. This task is the assessment component. Students need to identify the images that show materials that are combined and the images that are mixtures and sort them onto their T chart.
Make a T chart on your page or in your science journal.
Label one side of the Mixing and the other side of the T Combining. Cut and paste the pictures onto your T chart. Think carefully about the investigati
As a whole class the students made playdough. I found this to be the best recipe as it did not require cooking. Ingredients· 2 cups plain flour · 2 tablespoons vegetable oil · 1/2 cup salt· 2 tablespoons cream of tartar· 1 and a half cups boiling water (adding it slowly until it feels just right) · food colouring (optional) · few drops glycerine (secret ingredient for stretch and shine!)
