Primarily aimed at grade 5, in an international setting, this resource is focused on the Science and Social Studies elements of a unit titled “How does our culture and community affect our wellbeing?.” As well as teacher presentations, this resource includes links to resources and rubrics used to assess the unit. The topics covered are: The Human Body North America (Indigenous) Australia (Aboriginal)

A fully editable resource, you can either share the template with your learners on Canva or PowerPoint. Initially used for a rocket/design and launch in Year 5, the template contains the follow: Student Name and Name of Rocket Frame for student to insert a picture of their rocket (with labels to explain their design. An area to explain Newton’s 3 laws of motion. An area to input the forces that act upon a rocket. An area to explain how much water they used in their rocket and why. An area for a prediction An area for a materials list An area for evaluation A rubric for assessment.

This interactive Space display idea (kind of a lesson in a display) for Year 5 comes with an editable ppt for printing. The display is focused on the question ‘How far is each planet from the sun?’ Learners will first select the 8 planets from a basket (these were to-scale painted styrofoam/polystyrene balls that the Year 5s created). Each planet has velcro stuck to the reverse. Then they will then use the scale and a ruler to estimate where each planet will go on the velcro strip stretching from the sun to the end of the display board. (The sun was made out of yellow paper for the purposes of display, and the scale can be edited on the ppt). Next, they will place the planet labels on the velcro strip underneath the planets. Using an tablet or other device, learners will then scan the QR code to get the answers. An example QR code has been provided on the ppt, and an edited answer table on slide 7. Following on from that (and dependent on your schools technology policy), the children were then required to take a picture, upload it to Padlet and answer the question ‘what suprised you?’ Finally, they would return all the equipment back to the start for the next users.
