This Earth and Space Science presentation has been created to support Lesson 1 - The Earth of the Our Moving Sky unit for Year 2. It allows the teacher to walk students through visual examples and explanations.
Describe how people use science in their daily lives, including using patterns to make scientific predictions
Pose questions to explore observed simple patterns and relationships and make predictions based on experiences
Recognise Earth is a planet in the solar system and identify patterns in the changing position of the sun, moon, planets and stars in the sky
Earth’s rotation on its axis causes regular changes, including night and day
People use science in their daily lives, including when caring for their environment and living things
Science involves observing, asking questions about, and describing changes in, objects and events
Pose and respond to questions, and make predictions about familiar objects and events
Questions, plans and conducts scientific investigations, collects and summarises data and communicates using scientific representations
Investigates regular changes caused by interactions between the Earth and the Sun, and changes to the Earth’s surface
Observes, questions and collects data to communicate and compare ideas
Uses materials, tools and equipment to develop solutions for a need or opportunity
Describes observable features of living things and their environments
Identifies how plants and animals are used for food and fibre products
Recognises observable changes occurring in the sky and on the land and identifies Earth’s resources
Identifies that materials can be changed or combined
Describes how the properties of materials determine their use
