COLOURFUL BUBBLES
By: Mandi Dimitriadis
Grade/s: K, 1
Subject/s : Technologies, Science
Format : Printable single lesson
Students learn about bubbles and light by designing and printing a custom bubble wand.In this lesson, students design and 3D print a wand for blowing soap bubbles.They use their wands to make and record observations about soap bubbles.They learn that bubbles have colours in them because light is reflected off the soapy walls at different angles. https://youtu.be/QZKqFgn46h4 https://youtu.be/YZ22dPmWG_E

MEGAFAUNA DIG PIT DESIGN
By: Kate Tyrwhitt
Grade/s: 5, 6
Subject/s : Geography, Art & Music
Format : Printable unit plan
Students learn about prehistoric life of South Australia. Some students can enter artworks into the Mary Anning Art Prize. “To explore and illustrate our own past is to better know who we are as South Australians.Resources include “From Dinosaurs to Diprotodons” by Danielle Clode. This book covers Australian prehistoric life with location maps, timelines and illustrations of what they would have looked like as well as fossils and partial skeletal remains to help scientists reconstruct what the animal would have looked like.Other possible resources are SA Museum or your local museum.

A BETTER PLACE FOR ME
By: Mandi Dimitriadis
Grade/s: 7
Subject/s : Geography
Format : Printable single lesson
Students discuss factors that influence people’s perceptions of the liveability of places. They investigate features and characteristics of places across a range of scales that support and enhance people’s wellbeing, such as community identity, environmental quality, and access to services and facilities. Students assess the liveability of places and propose strategies to enhance the liveability of a place in Australia.This lesson is designed as an assessment task after a unit of work on liveability (such as the example included in this lesson plan).
