Planning template for teaching science

Teaching science to primary school students is not simple. Teachers need to be able to take science concepts and present them in ways that enable students to learn.

The two-part science planning template can help teachers move from simply planning activities for students to do, to planning what and how students will learn through a coherent series of lessons.

Teachers learning and planning together

Evans Bay Intermediate Principal Wendy Esera celebrates how teacher Ashleigh Grant has engaged her students in successful science enquiry. Educator Stephen Williams shares Science Learning Hub resources during the whole-staff discussion planning a unit on climate change.

The flexibility of Science Learning Hub resources is seen as key to building teachers’ confidence to develop their own science knowledge and engage their students with science.

Find out more about The ocean in action and The ocean conveyor belt video that Stephen talks about.

This video shows footage from the legacy Science Learning Hub, however all the conent referenced is still available on our new-look Science Learning Hub site.
