Stage 1 NSW Science & Technology Year 1 Teaching Slides – Terms 1–3 BUNDLE

Year 1 Teaching Slides – Terms 1–3 BUNDLE

NSW Syllabus (Implementation from 2026)

About This Bundle:

This Stage 1 Year 1 Science and Technology Slides Bundle (Terms 1–3) has been created to support teachers implementing the new NSW Science and Technology K–6 Syllabus (2024) from 2026.

The bundle includes ready-to-use teaching slides for Terms 1, 2, and 3, aligned to the Year 1 scope and sequence and written in clear, teacher-friendly language. It is ideal for teachers who want structured, engaging lessons without spending hours planning or unpacking syllabus documents.

✨ Term 4 slides will be added at a later date — this bundle allows you to access the first three terms now, with the flexibility to add Term 4 when ready.

What’s Included in This Bundle:

✔ A whole year Scope & Sequence, all planned out for you.

✨Term 1 Science & Technology Slides✨

• Science: Living things change over time
• Design & Digital Technologies: Digital systems use inputs and algorithms to produce an output
• Term 1 Slides – Living Things Have Characteristics and Needs: This unit provides an ideal introduction to Stage 1 Science, supporting students to investigate living things, their characteristics, and basic needs through observation and questioning. It aligns with the syllabus focus on investigating changes in the natural world and builds foundational inquiry skills for the year ahead.

✨Term 2 Science & Technology Slides✨

• Design & Digital Technologies: A design process is used to define user needs and create solutions
• Science investigation skills embedded (no specific Science content group mandated)
• Term 2 Slides - Weather & Seasons - This unit supports ongoing investigation skills through the exploration of daily and seasonal changes in the environment, allowing students to observe, question, and record changes over time. It is well-suited to Term 2, when no specific Science content group is mandated, and complements the focus on developing inquiry and data skills.

✨Term 3 Science & Technology Slides✨

• Science: Planet Earth is our home
• Explicit focus on creating written texts in Science and Technology
• Term 3 Slides - Materials and Their Properties - This unit aligns with the focus on exploring Planet Earth as our home by investigating materials, their properties, and how they are used in everyday contexts. Students examine how materials are sourced, used, and changed, supporting understanding of Earth’s resources and human interaction with the environment.

Term 4 – The Human Body’s Sense Organs (Coming Soon)

This unit will support students to investigate how the five sense organs detect and respond to environmental changes. It provides a strong end-of-year focus on observation, investigation, and explanation, consolidating key scientific skills developed throughout the year.

Unit titles are written in teacher-friendly language and align with the Stage 1 Science content groups outlined in the NSW Science and Technology syllabus.

✔ Slides are:

• lesson-ready
• visually clear and engaging
• sequenced to follow syllabus intent
• suitable for whole-class teaching
