MINI UNIT OF SCIENCE
I am currently implementing a mini unit of science, focused on the digestive system, which has been developed with another peer. We are teaching the unit to grade 3/4 students from Emmaus Catholic Primary School in Ballarat, with the aim of having the students develop a range of science skills through completing a number of different tasks. It is hoped that by the end of the five lessons in which we will teach, that the students will have a strong understanding of the concept of the digestive system, including the role of each organ involved. We have also developed a rubric, that will assist us in assessing and reporting on the learning of each of the 25 students that are part of the class.
