BELMONT PRIMARY SCHOOL
Learn, Enjoy, Develop
Science
In first term the students will be looking at the understanding of Physical Science and scientific investigations integrating with that topic. At Belmont Primary we use the Primary Connections program which is science and literacy based which fits with the Australian Curriculum and the WA Curriculum.
​K/P - On the Move - On the move.
1/2 - Pushes and Pulls - The students will explore pushes and pulls and through investigations, observe and gather evidence about how these forces act in air, water and on the ground. They will identify the effect of the pull of gravity and learn that both air and water can 'push'.
3/4 - Smooth Moves - The students will explore forces and motion. Through hands on activities students identify forces that act at a distance and those that act in direct contact, and investigate how different sized forces affect movement of objects. We will be looking at friction, gravity and pushes and pulls.
5/6 - Circuits and Switches - The students will through hands on investigations explore simple circuits and their components, including batteries, bulbs and switches to explain how a torch works. They will learn about transfer and transformation of energy into many of our appliances.
I have a very busy term planned for the Science learning area.
If at any time you wish to discuss your child's progress in Science please contact me and I will be happy to meet with you on a Thursday.
