2024 unit information
This is the third of four units in the Science and Technology K-6 curriculum area. Based around the stage 2 school curriculum, students experience, consider and develop learning experiences for year 3 and year 4 children. A blend of learning theory and hands-on practical experiences are used to develop methods for guiding children's understanding of ideas, scientific and design thinking and problem solving including digital solutions. Students will critically reflect on personal understanding of concepts and developing teacher practice. The unit continues to develop students' confidence, competence and commitment towards effective teaching of Science and Technology.
