Science Overviews Term 1 – 2017 Chemical Sciences Year 5/6/7 – Mrs Marsden and Mr Strevens, Mr Huff, Mr Wyett This term in the Science Room we will be focussing on the Australian Curriculum Science Understanding sub-strand of Chemical Sciences. The Chemical sciences sub-strand is concerned with the composition and behaviour of substances and how they can change and produce new substances by rearranging atoms. This term students will explore physical and chemical changes, such as change of state, separating and dissolving, reversible and irreversible changes, and investigate how chemical reactions result in the production of new substances. We will also identify and classify solid, liquid and gas substances in our environment (three main states of matter) and investigate how they can behave in different ways. We will be undertaking an inquiry-based unit of work that will provide hands on opportunities for students to identify and explain physical and chemical changes in everyday materials through fair testing methods. Students will be working scientifically through such actions as questioning, investigating, observing, predicting, discussions, and planning and conducting experiments. This will be done as a whole class, individually and in groups.

The Chemical sciences sub-strand is concerned with the composition and behaviour of substances and how they can change and produce new substances by rearranging atoms. This term students will explore how heating and cooling can change the state of solid liquids. We will also identify and classify solid, liquid and gas substances in our environment. We will be undertaking an inquirybased unit of work that will provide hands-on opportunities for students to investigate the practical purposes of changing materials from a liquid to a solid. Students will be working scientifically through such actions as questioning, investigating, observing, predicting, discussions, and planning and conducting experiments. This will be done as a whole class, individually and in groups. Kind Regards Nic Strevens
