Science

Up Down and All Around

Look out your window and you will see a constantly changing world. The Sun rises and sets and the sky reflects many different hours over a day. The landscape and everything we know about the environment began by observing it. Environmental modelling, space exploration and city planning all rely on careful observations of the land and sky. 

The Up, down and all around unit is an ideal way to link science with literacy in the classroom. It provides opportunities for students to explore natural, made and managed features that undergo change. Through outdoor observations and photographic records, students investigate the daily, weekly and seasonal changes in their local environment.
