Save money by grabbing this BUNDLE.

This LIVING THINGS UNIT includes 10 engaging PowerPoint lessons and a matching Student Science Journal for your Year One students. Everything you need to teach the ACARA Version 8 Living Things science unit for the First Grade Biological Sciences strand of the Australian Curriculum. 

The 10 highly engaging lessons and the age appropriate science journal worksheets are professionally designed to align to all the Biology ACARA Version 8 Year 1 content descriptors. 

I am currently working on the Version 9 Science units, so I’ve decided to heavily reduce all my Version 8 Science resources. Grab yourself a bargain and check them all out here: ACARA Version 8 Science Resources ON SALE

Each page in the science student journal corresponds with each of the 10 PowerPoint lessons. The specific Australian Curriculum content descriptors addressed in each activity are listed at the bottom of each journal page. Your students will be able to use the journal to record and represent their knowledge and understandings and it could also be used as evidence of learning and to inform assessment grades.

The professional PowerPoint lessons include quality real life photos and some interactive aspects— perfect for large screen display and interactive panels! There are real-life photos your students will relate to, links to video clips, interactive slides , and educational content throughout all the presentations.

 Keep your students highly engaged as they learn all about LIVING THINGS

• Lesson 10: The Needs and External Features of Plants. Students will understand that the needs and external features of plants are suited to their habitat. (50 slides)

AND a matching Student Science Journal with:

• 10 pages of scientific worksheets and activities

• A printable front cover if you want to make a journal

I usually compile the pages of the journal into a booklet for my students. You might prefer to select and print individual pages as follow-up or extension lesson worksheets. Either way, these activities complement each of the PowerPoint lessons perfectly. 

Sometimes I enlarge a journal page to A3. After we watch the related PowerPoint lesson, we complete the poster-size journal activity together as a whole class. Of course, the whole journal could be printed at A3 size and used as a whole class learning journal.
