Communicating

This Content Descriptor from Year 1 Science provides the specific knowledge and skills students should learn. Use it to plan lessons, create learning sequences, and design assessments that align with the Australian Curriculum v9.

Content Descriptor

write and create texts to communicate observations, findings and ideas, using everyday and scientific vocabulary

Elaborations

  • • exploring the difference between everyday and scientific vocabulary when describing objects or events
  • • acknowledging and learning about First Nations Australians’ ways of representing and sharing observations
  • • creating models of the place a plant or animal lives using recycled objects, modelling clay, toys or drawings
  • • representing seasonal changes of plants using sequential drawings, calendars or digital photographs
  • • representing push and pull forces using role-play, labels, arrows or time lapse drawings and describing their representation using everyday and scientific vocabulary
  • • role-playing or recounting how people they know or have observed identify and use patterns to make predictions at work or in their daily lives

Achievement Standard This Supports

This Content Descriptor contributes to the following Achievement Standard:

Year 1 ASSCIY1
Year 1 Science Achievement Standard
By the end of Year 1 students identify how living things meet their needs in the places they live. They identify daily and seasonal changes and describe ways these changes affect their everyday life. They describe how different pushes and pulls change the motion and shape of objects. They describe situations where they use science in their daily lives and identify examples of people making scientific predictions. Students pose questions to explore observations and make predictions based on experiences. They follow safe procedures to make and record observations. They use provided tables and organisers to sort and order data and information and, with guidance, represent patterns. With guidance, they compare observations with predictions and identify further questions. They use everyday vocabulary to communicate observations, findings and ideas.
