1 Lesson Plans Year 7 Science Chapter 10 Sun, Earth, Moon Some general points about the following lesson plans: The lesson plans outline only one way of sequencing the learning material in this chapter of the textbook. The content and sequence will obviously vary from class to class (The following guide is ambitious in many instances). All activities and investigations in each chapter have been deliberately designed to support the National Curriculum content whilst keeping in mind the development and reinforcement of skills required in the study of science in Year 11/12. The length of lessons vary from school to school and even within schools. The following guide is based on 35/40 min lessons because it was reasoned that adjustment to 60/75/90 mins lessons would be easier than reducing lesson plans. Students may be challenged further by completing each chapter Task, Competition Questions, Challenges, and by finding and entering any of the many competitions, challenges, projects etc that may be found on the. Such students may benefit by doing an search early in the year and planning entries before they close. Assessment A Task Inquiry Report End of Unit Test Content Description (4 weeks) Chapter 10 Predictable phenomena on Earth, including seasons and eclipses, are caused by the relative positions of the sun, Earth and the moon (ACSSU115). Investigate natural phenomena such as lunar and solar eclipses, seasons and phases of the moon. Compare times for the rotation of Earth, the sun and moon, and compare the times for the orbits of Earth and the moon. Model the relative movements of the Earth, sun and moon and how natural phenomena such as solar and lunar eclipses and phases of the moon occur. Explain why different regions of the Earth experience different seasonal conditions. Page 1 of 5
2 Content strands The Australian Curriculum: Science has three interrelated strands: Science Understanding, Science as a Human Endeavour and Science Inquiry Skills. Science as a Human Endeavour Scientific knowledge changes as new evidence becomes available, and some scientific discoveries have significantly changed people s understanding of the world (ACSHE119) investigating how advances in telescopes and space probes have provided new evidence about space researching different ideas used in the development of models of the solar system developed by scientists such as Copernicus, Khayyám and Galileo researching developments in the understanding of astronomy, such as the predictions of eclipses and the calculation of the length of the solar year by Al Battani in the tenth century Science knowledge can develop through collaboration and connecting ideas across the disciplines of science (ACSHE223) considering how water use and management relies on knowledge from different areas of science, and involves the application of technology identifying the contributions of Australian scientists to the study of human impact on environments and to local environmental management projects investigating how land management practices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples can help inform sustainable management of the environment studying transnational collaborative research in the Antarctic recognising that traditional and Western scientific knowledge can be used in combination to care for Country and Place Science and technology contribute to finding solutions to a range of contemporary issues; these solutions may impact on other areas of society and involve ethical considerations (ACSHE120) relating regulations about wearing seatbelts or safety helmets to knowledge of forces and motion considering issues relating to the use and management of water within a community considering decisions made in relation to the recycling of greywater and blackwater considering how human activity in the community can have positive and negative effects on the sustainability of ecosystems investigating ways to control the spread of the cane toad Science understanding influences the development of practices in areas of human activity such as industry, agriculture and marine and terrestrial resource management (ACSHE121) investigating everyday applications of physical separation techniques such as filtering, sorting waste materials, reducing pollution, extracting products from plants, separating blood products and cleaning up oil spills investigating how advances in science and technology have been applied to the treatment of water in industrial and household systems investigating how Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander knowledge is being used to inform scientific decisions, for example care of waterways researching the different scientific responses to the rabbit plagues in Australian agricultural areas People use understanding and skills from across the disciplines of science in their occupations (ACSHE224) recognising that water management plays a role in areas such as farming, land management and gardening investigating how separation techniques are used in the food and wine industries considering how seasonal changes affect people in a variety of activities such as farming considering how sports scientists apply knowledge of forces in order to improve performance Science Inquiry Skills Science inquiry involves identifying and posing questions; planning, conducting and reflecting on investigations; processing, analysing and interpreting evidence; and communicating findings. This strand is concerned with evaluating claims, investigating ideas, solving problems, drawing valid conclusions and developing evidence-based arguments. Page 2 of 5
