This unit covers the Earth and Space Sciences strand of the Australian Curriculum for Year 1. In this unit, students will learn about weather changes in the environment and how they affect living things. They will learn that these weather changes occur in predictable patterns that we call the seasons.
Each of the lessons has an accompanying worksheet for students to complete and the unit culminates with a final assessment when students can demonstrate their understanding of how the weather and seasons affect living things.
