House Insulation  Jessica Kenney, Ashleigh Hoare, Ashlea Harder

Science; Energy and Change Year 3 and 4 group levels. Their main focus will be on why it is important to insulate a house and how.

According to the Australian Curriculum Council year 3/4 students are required to learn ways to use energy wisely at home so there in hand we have insulation as an example on how we are able to keep heat or cool without the use of electricity. Students have learnt from previous levels that energy has different purposes and have an understanding of various forms of energy used in homes and school. With this as a basis we can now develop a deeper understanding of energy through our authentic task. Students will be required to research insulation and teachers may provide information from our resource page in order to help assist their learning.

This task will require multiple lessons over a period of four weeks. The student page explains the task and why it is neccessary and their requirements. It also explains the technology to be used by students and what they are being used for. The resources page gives examples for teachers in which they can decide to share with students or not to provide further understanding. The teacher page provides the four week schedule and a parent note to explain the task and requirements from parent/guardians.



Please feel free to access the file below as it is a brief presentation on our wiki and all that it has to offer for this authentic task.
