Material sorting activity. Students cut and paste the objects into the correct categories depending on what material the object is made from. The worksheet can also be used for a material treasure hunt where students draw/write in objects from around the classroom/playground into the correct categories. Extension: students write adjectives to describe common properties of all the materials. Australian Curriculum - Foundation Chemical Science recognise that objects can be composed of different ma

Introduce your students to a dichotomous key that helps them to classify the creatures living in the garden. Resources includes a cut and paste dichotomous key with answer sheet and a garden creature features poster outlining the key body part differences between the invertebrates. Completed (and correct) dichotomous keys can be used to identify creatures in the garden.

Learn about your new students through their responses on the Cell-fie activity sheet.

Print and display these Design Thinking posters to help your students navigate the STEM problem solving process.
