The Australian Curriculum has guidelines in the use of digital tools within the classroom

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
The purpose of this curriculum connection is twofold. It is designed to: guide teachers to identify content in the Australian Curriculum that supports the teaching and learning of online safety connect teachers to a range of interdisciplinary resources that have been developed to support the teaching and learning of online safety.

Kahoot is a great tool again for assessment preparation. Using these forms of digital tools allows you to find out the level of thinking that your students are going through and find out their knowledge of the topics. The use of Kahoot can also be used throughout the lesson for warm-ups, brain breaks and exit tickets for the lesson

# data[].attributes.body
This is another form of quizzing platform. Also great for checkpoint exams to the lead up for assessments and or exams coming up. The ability to create you're own questions allows you to customise this to your students and there levels in the SAMR model.

This is a incredible tool to use within the classroom. You are able to create your own quiz, which would be great for checkpoint resources.

This is a unit plan for students in Years, 7,8,9 & 10. As we come into our winter months, our students will embark on their journeys into Athletics Carnivals. This is a great source to teach these students how to enhance their movements/sprints on the track and or field and perform like Mr Bolt, the olympic sprinter.

This lesson provides students with the opportunity to participate in a physical activity that is designed to enhance fitness and develop a skill-related fitness component. This lesson was designed for a Year 7/8 - 9/10 classes, has been tested with 7-10 classes and worked well with high student engagement.

Y5/6 Understanding Movement:

Y7/8 Understanding Movement:

Y9/10 Understanding Movement:

Design, implement and evaluate personalised plans for improving or maintaining their own and others' physical activity and fitness levels (ACPMP102).

Analyse the impact of effort, space, time, objects and people when composing and performing movement sequences (ACPMP103).

Introduction/Warm up:

Explain that, in sports requiring High Intensity-Intermittent efforts, findings highlight that preparing players based on the average demands of competition is likely to leave them underprepared for the most demanding passages of play. As such, coaches should incorporate drills that replicate the most intense repeated high-intensity demands of competition in order to prepare players for the worst-case scenarios expected during match-play. Egs: Rugby, Netball, Basketball, etc.

The Phosphate Decrement Test was designed to simulate the high intensity intermittent nature of team sports and as such remains an indicative measure of player preparedness for such demands. While the distances and recovery times may vary between games and levels of play, a standardized test can inform interested parties as to such fitness standards.

Body:

Explain the test structure: (May vary effort and dispatch times as desired. On the whistle* (or beep gun), students sprint over the 20m course until second whistle* 5 seconds later. Students assemble on the 30 metre line and about face for the next sprint 25 seconds later ie: 5 second Effort followed by 25 second Recovery. This is repeated 10 times. 10 x 5 second Sprints on 30 second Dispatch time = 5 minutes. (See Diagram below).

Provide each student with a High Intensity-Intermittent efforts Recording Sheet

Write names on sheets and partner with another student for recording i.e.: One partner runs while partner records, then reverse. Recorder stands approx. 10m back and adjacent to middle markers.

It is important that all efforts are at 100% intensity for most informative results

Adequate Warm Up should precede this test.

Conclusion:

Calculate results on manual Recording Sheets and/or enter into Excel Sheet provided for automated calculations of Phosphate Decrement score

Class discussion about what students learnt from this learning experience.

What implications might these results have regarding individual fitness or suitability for a specific team position or sport

Students create and monitor personal fitness plans based on their performances

Students reflect on implications these results might have regarding individual fitness or suitability for a specific team position or sport.

This is a Year 8 lesson for the learning of the Rock cycle, part of the Geology sector in the Australian Curriculum. It showcases the different types of rocks, sedimentary, igneous, metamorphic and how these rocks are formed.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
This lesson provides students with the opportunity to develop an understanding of the different kinds of rocks and how they are formed through a real world-learning context. This lesson was designed for a year 8 class; it has been tested and worked well with high student engagement.

Year 8 Science Understanding:

Sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic rocks contain minerals and are formed by processes that occur within Earth over a variety of timescales (ACSSU153)

AC Elaborations:

representing the stages in the formation of igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks, including indications of timescales involved.

identifying a range of common rock types using a key based on observable physical and chemical properties.

recognising that rocks are a collection of different minerals.

considering the role of forces and energy in the formation of different types of rocks and minerals.

recognising that some rocks and minerals, such as ores, provide valuable resources.

*** Please note that this lesson sequence is supported through the use of a Powerpoint presentation ***

1. Show the students the power point provided below.

2. Students then complete the worksheet.

3. As a class, discuss the answers.

4. Have the students create an informative poster on one of the rocks with facts and pictures. (they will need to research facts)

5. Present the posters to the class.

Conclusion:

Check student understanding about what they have learned about how sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic rocks are formed over time.

Anecdotal notes on students

Collect worksheets to check understanding.

Use posters as summative assessment.

Students record their findings using a digital device and share with class.

This is a Year 9 lesson for the learning of the Chemical Sciences, part of the Chemistry sector in the Australian Curriculum. It showcases Oxygen, Oxidation and Combustion and how these react to acid. Following the if they are important for non-living/ living things.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
This is a three-lesson mini-unit on oxygen, oxidation and combustion, produced by NASA. It fits well under the Yr 9 Chemical Sciences strand of the Australian Curriculum. Students are introduced to exothermic reactions that involve oxidation. They measure the temperature of rusting steel wool and conclude that energy is released. Students also observe a candle flame and model the chain reaction that occurs during combustion and in obtaining energy from sugars.

Chemical reactions, including combustion and the reactions of acids, are important in both non-living and living systems and involve energy transfer (ACSSU179)

Use knowledge of scientific concepts to draw conclusions that are consistent with evidence(ACSIS170)

Communicate scientific ideas and information for a particular purpose, including constructing evidence-based arguments and using appropriate scientific language, conventions and representations(ACSIS174)

Students identify oxygen as a reactive element that benefits humans by helping to convert sugars into energy in the cells.

Students explain combustion as a chemical reaction.

Main Lesson Concept

Oxygen is a highly reactive element involved in chemical reactions that release heat energy.

Oxygen is important to humans, because it helps convert sugars into energy in the cells.

Scientific Question

How does oxygen interact with other elements and molecules? How do these unique interactions affect human life?

Suggested Timeline (45-minute periods)

Day 1: Engage and Explore Sections

Day 3: Extend and Evaluate Sections
