1. Big Picture: Syllabus

   • curriculum become political
   • 2012 -> Science PROCESS and CONTENT
   • NSW: outcome-based, outcomes are observable manifestations
   • Move through content = harder, more skill, more student centred

2. Classroom planning - curriculum considerations

   • Come from > Going to
   • Collaboration
   • Planning starting points
     • Syllabus, school scope and sequence
     • Outcomes, content
     • Other syllabus sections
     • Expert others
   • Structure of unit of work
     • Promoting inquiry
       • Observation = generate questions
       • Record data = organise knowledge + scientific vocab
       • Communicate results = target audience, explain science, reflect
   • Brainstorm - organise student questions = co-construct
   • Organise to deal with misconceptions - KNOW misconceptions

3. Pedagogical considerations

   • 5E: Engage > Explore > Explain > Elaborate > Evaluate
   • POE: Predict > Observe > Explain
   • 3C: Capture > Construct > Consolidate
   • Framework: reasoning through representation
   • Framework: MyScience
     • question > prediction > COWS > equipment > record data > explain data > present and justify
   • what pedagogy does curriculum warrant?
   • more than one pedagogy for a unit?
   • Remember: QTF
   • Reading: various interactions
     • T-S vs. S-T (S must know rules)
     • Presentation
     • Murmur phase: quiet talk
     • Group talk: more dynamic
     • answering chain: every student answers

4. Working Scientifically in real world - considerations

   • Representation: drawing, graphs, diagrams, 3D model, animation
   • Field work: scaffold, boundaries, purpose, perspectives, safety
   • Organisational issues: resources, safety, respect
   • Teaching points after - reflection, links to future work

5. Links to other KLAs

   • Math: scaling, area, fractions, estimation
   • CA: drawing, rubbings
   • English: reports
   • Geography

6. Integration

   • 2+ standards, 2+ assessments
   • Positives
     • Expand knowledge, skill, attitudes
     • Student centred
     • Holistic perspectives
     • Link subjects
     • Pragmatic solution to overcrowded curriculum
   • Assessment
     • Ideas from: Primary connections, STANSW, Skamp
     • Suggestions: MIX of, quiz, audio, model, wiki...
     • Rich tasks: real world, student direction, long term, differentiation, FUN
