Veggie Garden/Australian Curriculum

Task 3 of EDN111 asks us to set up a teachers project timetable.
After selecting what classroom topic we wanted to concentrate on (Science) we now had to decide on a class project that we could organize for a teacher. I think our group did a great job with choosing and staying with Science as there are so many experiments and class activities we have the choice from. The only thing was to select an experiment that fit the Australian Curriculum criteria.  Our classroom project is to grow, maintain and keep a record of a veggie garden.

Like I said before in a previos blog, I haven't gone on the Australian Curriculum website before and dont know much of its layout. So I spent today going through the website. The site is broken down into Learinng Area, general capabilities, and year level.
Our group selected Year 4 science then looked at the different learning development we would be addressing.

One the outcomes this project will access is Planning and Conducting:
'Safely use appropriate materials, tools or equipment to make and record observations, using formal measurements and digital technologies as appropriate' 


General capabilities
  • Literacy: Writing down information collected
  • Numeracy: Measuring 
  • Information and communication technology capability: Through keeping a blog
  • Personal and social capabilit: Presenting their findings to the classroom at the end of the project

This is all just a brief outline of what we wish to cover.
