This event will be held on 5th and 10th November at Kew High School.
Vicphysics Teachers’ Network with the support of the Department of Education Strategic Partnership Program is offering workshops for year 5 – 10 science teachers who find the teaching of physical science concepts challenging and are keen to improve their understanding and teaching strategies of this content.
This project offers out-of-field teachers an opportunity to engage deeply with curriculum by stepping them through the vertical conceptual development of the relevant key knowledge and skills in the curriculum and by explicitly working through appropriate interactive learning activities, enabling teachers to experience the content both as students and teachers.
It will consist of 2 six hour sessions presented in person.
The Earth and Space Intensive module steps you through the key concepts and skills required to successfully teach the relevant Victorian Curriculum 2.0 years 5 – 10 science content. Day 1: Dynamic Earth (5 – 8) The earth is not static – it is continually changing. We get different views of the changes when viewed over a relatively short timescale or over a very long timescale. Hazardous Earth (5 – 8) Dynamic earth gives rise to natural hazards which affect living things, including humans, in a variety of ways. Earth and its Place in Space (5 – 8) The earth is one planet among a number of others. It is affected by relative proximity to an active star, our sun.
Day 2: Earth’s resources (9 – 10) The earth provides a range of resources which support life. Vulnerable Earth (9 – 10) The earth’s resources can be depleted by human activity. Space beyond the Earth (9 – 10) From the solar system to exoplanets – where did it all come from?
Primary school teachers are welcome to join the first day of this program.
