Australian Curriculum 9.0 Years 7-10 Science resources

Full curriculum coverage

You are fully covered, whether you are teaching about the Moon, mixtures or magnets. Every topic is covered in-depth, with skills and knowledge explicitly mapped for Years 7-10. Deep dive or a whistle-stop tour of a topic, you have content and activities that are ready-to-go.

Editable slides

High-quality editable and downloadable teacher slides for every single topic. There are Knowledge slides and Skills slides. These include learning intentions and success measures, guiding questions, theory, activities, and checking for understanding. Use as is, or add and remove the content you need for your students.

Skills slides

Each set of Skills slides focuses on a specific Science skill, helping to make sure your students are developing the skills they need while learning content.

Knowledge slides

Knowledge slides cover the topics that you know get students excited. Hooks and activities in each slide set will get students buzzing, with theory that connects topics to students’ lives.

Skills activities

Science skills are embedded throughout the resource. These are backmapped from what students will need for success in the senior years, including VCE. 

Reinforcing skills through topics

Each set of Knowledge slides also includes a student activity to practise the skill learnt in the related Skills lesson. For example, when students learn about evidence for plate tectonics, they are also practising processing and analysing data - which is covered in-depth in the matching Skills lesson. 

Practical investigations

Each topic contains a set of practical investigations to engage students in developing their science skills and knowledge in a hands-on way. Each practical investigation is also directly linked to a science inquiry skill to build students’ ability to engage with science both inside and outside the classroom.

Science as a Human Endeavour

Each topic has a ‘Science as a Human Endeavour’ exercise where students interpret a variety of stimulus such as diagrams or maps. This helps students to develop their literacy and numeracy skills in a scientific context - building a foundation upon which they can engage more deeply in the sciences.

Instant learning data

Using the Edrolo platform, students can follow along, take notes and complete questions and activities. You can see their completion and answers - helping to see where to target teaching and the next learning move.
