Teacher Science Resources
National Digital Learning Resources Network
This selection of digital curriculum resources from the National Digital Learning Resources Network is designed to assist teachers to find, use and adapt teaching and learning materials that are aligned to the science subject area of the Australian Curriculum.
Students in year 7 use a range of interactive tools and maps to explore changes in the Australian landmass, environments and living things over the last 545 million years and compare climatic conditions and sea levels over geological time. They also relate geological changes in the Earth's surface to plate tectonics and identify major periods in the geological time scale.
This is similar to Down to Earth: palaeotraveller but the focus is on when, where and how a range of rock samples (eg coal, diamond, granite, sandstone) were formed in Australian geological time.
Students identify metals commonly found in household objects and relate demand for commodities to supply of mineral resources. They link the periodic table to descriptions of the properties and uses of metals and metalloids and use an interactive notebook to record and print facts about commodities, metals and metalloids. An interactive calculator and global map show relationships between world demand for commodities and supply of mineral resources.
