Fully Aligned to 2024 NSW Syllabus

LESSONS 1-10

Stop planning this unit from scratch!

This ready-to-teach Stage 2 Science unit walks you step-by-step through Earth’s systems, survival, habitats, fair testing, plant investigations, and food chains — all explicitly structured and fully aligned to the new 2024 NSW Science & Technology syllabus.

Clear, engaging science lessons that build real understanding.

What Makes This Unit Different?

✔ Explicit teaching structure (I Do, We Do, You Do)

✔ Strong Tier 2 & Tier 3 vocabulary integration

✔ Real investigations (light, water & substrate plant growth tests)

✔ Hands-on food chain modelling & energy transfer

✔ Built-in assessment opportunities

✔ Clear syllabus alignment (ST2-SCI-01, ST2-PQU-01, ST2-DAT-01)

Everything connects. Every lesson builds.

What’s Included:

• Detailed lesson overviews for Lessons 1–10

• Comprehensive PowerPoint slides

• Engaging worksheets for every lesson (not just multiple choice!)

• Scope & Sequence

• Assessment rubric aligned to outcomes

Students Will Learn To:

• Explain how the atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, and biosphere support life
