| Context:
An integrated unit of work with a focus on science and technology
designed for year 6/7 students.
|
| Key
Idea: Students collect data about and critique their own patterns
of energy use in terms of it's environmental impact Students use the concepts of force, energy and transfer of energy to investigate and explain phenomena and changing patterns of events in the natural world |

1: Collecting, analysing and organising information 2: Communicating ideas and information 3: Planning and organising activities 4: Working with others in teams 5: Using mathematical ideas and techniques 6: Solving problems 7: Using technology |
Science: Students will use the idea of force to describe and explain different ways of transferring energy, and they will plan and evaluate investigations that focus on the transfer and transformation of energy. Outcomes from other learning areas described in activity outlines. |
