About Sample Science

Students observing with a microscope

Sample Science P-6 is a unit planning resource for primary teachers.  It provides sample activities which teachers may use to develop units that support students to achieve the Victorian Essential Learning Standards (VELS) for Science.

The activities in Sample Science have been designed to support student motivation and engagement, as well as exploration and application of science ideas.

The User Guide provides further support for using the resource to its full potential.

Each unit addresses a number of science ideas and provides supporting links to 

  • the Science Continuum P-10 (a resource strongly aligned to supporting conceptual development and science pedagogy)
  • Digilearn online resources
  • useful web sites.
