Year 3 Science

We are learning about the world around us.

SCIENCE

Day and Night

TERM 1

We are very close to completing our work on investigating what makes day and night.

So far we have learned:

  • Characteristics of day and night
  • Relative size and shape of Earth, Moon and Sun
  • Relationship between Earth and Sun to make day and night

The last couple of activities will help us continue to understand the movement of Earth and the Sun and how the relative position of Earth and Sun affect seasons.

The final piece of assessment will be using

PowerPoint to demonstrate our learning.

Big Questions Answered Here

How do we get winter and summer?

What do the seasons look like?

Where does the Sun go each night?

How do we get winter and summer?

How do we get seasons?

How does this effect how plants grow?

Information Videos

Learning Tip:

After watching each video:

1. Write down key words

2. Write a sentence or 2 about what you have learned

How are the seasons and the Sun linked?

Shadows at Play

Due to poor weather over the last few weeks, investigating shadows was one activity we never got to do.

This might be something you want to try at home.

Learning Intention:

We are learning how shadows are formed and how they move.

I CAN:

  • describe changes in size and direction of shadows during a day
  • describe the apparent movement of the Sun each day from East to West
  • describe how shadows are made
  • discuss observations of light and shadows
  • draw a labelled diagram of own shadow
  • record ideas about light and shadows

Science Activities

After you have completed all the activities, test your knowledge on shadows here: https://www.studyladder.com/play/activity-new/id/32571#

1. Questions to think about:

1. What is a shadow?

2. What is needed to make a shadow?

3. How do shadows change?

Activity 1

2. Shadow Art:

You will need:

Piece of paper

Toy or object

Pencil

Have a go at creating your own piece of shadow art.

2. Game to Play - Shadow Tag

The person who is 'it' must try and tag the other persons shadow.

Activity 2

3. Questions to think about:

1. Does your shadow move in the same direction as you?

2. Are you and your shadow joined?

3. How can you make your shadow longer or shorter?

4. Where is the sun in relation to your shadow?

5. What do you think causes this shadow?

Parent Tip:

How can you help your child record their results?

- draw a picture on paper

- use chalk to draw a shadow at multiple times

- take photos

- record your child's observations on video

Activity 3

4. Investigation

Design an activity that will allow you to track and measure the movement and distance of a shadow.

Think of everything you have learned about shadows to help you.

* It is best to start this activity in the morning and watch throughout the day.

* What materials do you have around the house that you could use?

Label your drawing

  • Give it a title
  • Name the objects used
  • Record the time of each shadow
  • Draw where the sun is in the sky
  • Write a sentence about what is happening.

Shadows at Play

Create a labelled diagram of yourself, your shadow and the position of the Sun in relation to your shadow.

Take a photograph of your work and post it in the Shadow Assessment in TEAMS.

Quiz

Using the link in TEAMS complete the quiz. Mums and Dad can help read questions but you need to answer on your own.

Assessment of Learning

Spinning in Space

Create an annotated drawing or image used to communicate what they have learned about day and night. Students show relative size of Earth, Sun and Moon, position and movement of Earth, Sun and Moon and why we have day and night.

HOW?

Students can draw a picture, record a video or create an image in PowerPoint. All work can be uploaded to the Spinning in Space Assessment in TEAMS.

Living and Non Living Things

We are learning to describe different ways to group specimens, consider claims about living specimens and identify patterns in data.

We are also learning to contribute to discussions about specimens, their observable features, and how to classify them and to classify animals into scientific groups using a branching key.

TERM 2

Week 2: We are learning to describe different ways to group specimens.

Oral traditions

- Songlines-

Ask a family member to help you read this information.

For thousands of years, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People have mapped the Australian landscape using songs, dances, artworks and stories. Most of these maps were not written down – they were orally passed on from generation to generation through sacred family ceremonies. These special maps, called ‘song lines’, follow the great journeys of the ancestors as they created the land, the animals and the laws of the people. Using these sacred song lines, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People could travel great distances across the country.

Watch the What Are Song lines? video on YouTube. After watching, see if you can answer the questions with a family member.

* What are song lines?

* Why might an Indigenous group need to move into a new area?

* Which natural features of the environment would Indigenous groups sing about?

The Story of Gulaga

The Story of Gulaga

Instructions:

Ask a family member to read The Story of Gulaga to you or listen to the audio link.

See if you can answer these comprehension questions with a family member.

* Who is Gulaga? Why is she important to the Yuin people?

* Why did Gulaga want Barranguba to move into the ocean nearby?

* What happened when Najanugu asked to move away from Gulaga?

This is a Dreaming Story told by the Yuin people of the Tilba Tilba region, located on the south coast of New South Wales, Australia. The Story explains the creation of Gulaga (Mount Dromedary), Barranguba (Montague Island) and Najanuga (Little Dromedary). Gulaga is a site of great spiritual significance to the local Yuin people. She is the mother of their ancestors and a symbol of their spiritual identity.

This is the story of Gulaga, the mother mountain. She had two sons called Barranguba and Najanuga.

One day, Barranguba (the older son) decided to move away from his mother. When he told Gulaga what he wanted to do, she told him to move into the ocean nearby. Barranguba could watch the fish and the whales and the dolphins from there, but he would be close enough for Gulaga to keep an eye on him.

So Barranguba went out into the ocean and became an island.

Najanuga (the younger son) saw what his brother had done. He wanted to do the same. When he told Gulaga what he wanted to do, she told him he was too little to go out into the ocean on his own. Gulaga told Najanuga to sit right by her feet, so that she could keep watch over him.

So Najanuga stayed next to Gulaga, watching his big brother out in the ocean. He is the small mountain that sits beside the great mother mountain. He

stays with her always, just as she wanted.

Have your camera ready.

Emotions

DRAMA

Facial Expressions

The 5 Elements of Drama

You are working on projecting your voice...speak quietly like a squeaky mouse

Roar like a lion.

Here are some emotions to share with your family

Statues:

  • Find some music to play
  • When the music stops, freeze in a way to show that emotion

* You might have one person call out the emotion before the music stops.

Step 1. Choose a mood or emotion you wish to explore. For example:

  • Hope
  • Anger
  • Despair
  • Joy
  • Peace
  • Frustration
  • Excitement

Postcards:

Set up a scene with your family, teddies or lego people to demonstrate an emotion.

Being a postcard the scene must be still but still tell the story of that emotion.

Step 2. Choose a game to play to help you explore these emotions.

Share - Take a photo and share with Mrs Kirk mmkelly@bne.catholic.edu.au

Take note how facial expressions and voice are used to make a point.

Watch one of your favourite shows for 10 minutes. Note down the characters name and then work out what emotion the actor or cartoon character is displaying. How do you know what is their face doing?

Bringing drama to life:

Pick a chapter book and select one part of the book and have members of your family act out a scene of the book. See if you can film this using your script.

Bringing Drama to your own stage

Drama Mood

Breathing

Breathing

The Breath of Life.

Take a deep breath and feel how your lungs work. Practise breathing in deeply, right from your toes to your fingertips. Imagine using your breath to blow up a balloon, blow out birthday candles, dry the washing, move a yacht and stop. How are you breathing now? During today notice your breath if you go for a run, or a walk or when you are sitting down what is happening with your breath?
