(WHAT & HOW)

LEARNING EXPERIENCE including PROVISIONS FOR LEARNER DIVERSITY and KEY QUESTIONS

Living things have a

variety of external
features (ACSSU017)

Lesson objectives:
Students will be able to:
1. Identify the
major parts of
the human body
2. Record
information
individually into
their workbook

1. Playdough
teacher will
collect the
photos of their
finished
playdough,
place against
the assessment
rubric. (Does it
have 2 legs,
eyes, 2 arms,
etc.)

Learning experience:
The focus of this lesson is introducing human body parts. It is an investigative-based lesson for the
students to explore the human body and its features.

Activity one:
- The students will be making a picture collage on the iPads by taking photos of each
others body parts and connecting them in the application to make a human body.

Activity two:
- The students will be using playdough to make a person
- Photos will be taken of their work on the iPads.

Activity three:
- Students will be using the microscope to look at features of the human body. For example
the skin, hair, eyelashes, inside the ears etc. Pictures will be taken and students will
record their findings in their workbook.

Key questions:
- Who found some interesting features of the human body? Who can share their
information with the class?
- What body parts do we have?
- Do other creatures have some of the same body parts that we do? (animals)

Lesson 2

Living things have a

variety of external
features (ACSSU017)

Lesson objectives:
Students will be able to:
1. Recall the parts
of the human
body through
interactive
games
2. Use an iPad to
create a story in
small groups,
using the
provided
application

Learning experience:
This lesson carries on from the investigation in lesson 1, finding out about the human body and its
parts. The focus of this lesson is on synthesising this information and using their new knowledge
to complete the activities.

Activity one:
- Body part bingo (matching with counters)

Activity two:
- Interactive whiteboard online matching game. (Body parts and their names)

Activity three:
- Book creator application on the iPads body part photos and audio recordings

Key questions:
- What did you find out in our last lesson on the human body?
- What features/parts did you see?

features (ACSSU017)

Respond to texts drawn
from a range of cultures
and experiences
(ACELY1655)

Lesson objectives:
Students will be able to:
1. Label the major
parts of an
insect
2. Create their
own insect using
their knowledge
of insect
features

Learning experience:
Students will form new knowledge about parts of an insect. They will be engaging with childrens
literature, ICT resources and playdough.
Activity one:
- Grant the Ant by Melvin Berger- sentence sequencing activity


Activity two:
- Viewing plastic/real bugs through the microscope


Activity three:
- Making playdough bugs and taking photos of their work on the iPads


Key Questions:
- What interesting facts did you learn about ants? (After reading the book)
- What makes up a sentence?
- What parts can you see on the insects?
- How many legs do they have? Can you count them?
- Can you remember what features you saw through the microscope?
- What does a bug look like?

Lesson 4

Living things have a

variety of external
features (ACSSU017)


Lesson objectives:
Students will be able to:
1. Work in small
groups to create
a bug using
recycled
materials
2. Identify the
name of an
insect by looking
at its
appearance.

Learning experience:
The focus of this lesson is to use the information from the previous lesson, moving into activities
that apply their new knowledge about parts of a bug.

Activity one:
- Students will embark on a scavenger hunt around the classroom, scanning QR codes with
the iPads. Each piece of paper that is hung around the classroom will have a picture of an
insect; the students have to work together in small groups to name the insect by looking
at its features etc. By scanning the QR code, the name of the insect will be revealed.

Activity two:
- Students will work in small groups to create a bug using recycled materials.


Key questions:
- Why might we use recycled materials? Do you recycle in your home?
- What materials are you doing to use to represent X body part?
- What features are you going to include on your insect?

materials glue,
scissors, paper
