Science - See It! Hear It! Build It!
This unit introduces your students to Physical Science and Life Science. They'll plan and conduct investigations to gather evidence that objects can be seen only when illuminated and that vibrating materials can make sound. They'll determine the effect of placing items made of different materials in the path of a beam of light. They’ll also use tools and materials to design devices – one using light and one using sound – to solve the problem of communicating over a distance. Finally, they'll design a solution to a human problem by mimicking how animals use their external parts to survive.
Your students will also practise their social and emotional learning, such as self-regulation, persistence, empathy, self-awareness and mindfulness with the main characters in the lesson stories.
Before your students begin this unit, we recommend the following to support their building and programming skills and prepare them for the challenges in this unit.
