This Connected Learning Experience explores forces in an Indigenous context.
Description: In this investigation, younger students explore how push/pull forces can be applied to make an object move, in the context of spinning tops. They observe characteristics of successful spinners, and notice how a force is applied to set them in motion, or to make them stop.

This online resource demonstrates various learning programs for teaching the practical aspects of chemistry to younger students.
The web page contains a video showing a teacher and his class investigating the mixing of liquids and concentrates using the 5E learning program from Primary Connections.
This online resource helps develop a teacher's overall pedagogy.
The resource, The BitL tool – Bringing it to life tool, is an interactive webpage developed by SA Teaching and Learning Services (DECD) and has science as one of its learning areas.
The Bringing it to Life (BitL) online tool demonstrates high-challenge pedagogy through a series of questions that support students as both thinkers and problem solvers.
This online resource can be used to teach an early understanding of forces.
This is a unit of work that gives ideas for engaging young students when exploring and developing their understandings of how a push and pull influences the way in which an object moves or changes shape.

This unit of work explores the life cycles of egg-laying animals.
It is constructed of 12 learning sequences which vary in duration. They include hatching chickens, the life cycle of a chicken, writing an information report, and a literature study.
Each sequence offers practical advice, probing questions and other teaching and learning experiences.
There are two assessment tasks. The first involves an information report on an egg-laying animal and the second, a character profile.
It would support a teacher planning for either English or Science.
This unit of work investigates the life cycle of living things.
It details ways of supporting and engaging younger students when learning about the growth, development, reproduction, and death of different living things.
