Unit Plan - Year 10 - Big Ideas of ScienceAndrew Joseph
A unit plan currently being implemented in a school on the north side of Brisbane. The unit sticks closely to the curriculum, with lessons to give students experience in a variety of research and presentation modes, culminating in a presentation as the formal assessment. The presentation must follow the progression of one of the big ideas of science through history,from its inception to our current understanding.

Week 9: Earth and Space SciencesThe Earth and Space Sciences sub-strand
This week we will be exploring the Science Understanding sub-strand of Earth and Space Sciences. The study of Earth and Space Sciences focuses on developing students’ understandings of their place both within the broader universe and at a much closer level developing their understanding of geological processes and the weather and environment on Earth. We will continue our exploration of models to support understanding and provide examples of how to use digital technology in our science lessons.
Begin by watching the video Science & Space: Solar System 101(National Geographic Kids, 2014). What do you recall from your own education and what is new information for you?
Then watch the short video Make a mini solar system (ABC Splash, 2014) about modelling a mini solar system and think about how do we get across to students the sheer size of something as big as the solar system?

The Australian Curriculum: Science (ACARA, 2014) Earth and Space sciences sub-strand is concerned with "Earth’s dynamic structure and its place in the cosmos." You can read the full description of this sub-strand within the Australian Curriculum: Science Content structure overview (ACARA, 2014). What does ‘ Earth’s dynamic structure and its place in the cosmos’ mean within a primary school and what we need to teach from F-6?Scope and sequence
The scope and sequence chart for Earth and space sciences allows us, at a glance, to see the content descriptions from Foundation to Year 6 and therefore how students’ understanding of Earth and space sciences progresses in both depth and breadth (ACARA, 2014). As shown in the scope and sequence screenshot, in Foundation year students learn that daily and seasonal changes in our environment, including the weather, affect everyday life and by Year 6 that sudden geological changes or extreme weather conditions can affect Earth’s surface.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

8. ICT & Audio/Visual Resources Question Generator Weather and Climate T A S C Topic overview: This unit focuses on patterns and processes associated with weather and climate. Pupils carry out a range of investigation into local and wider afield weather situations and begin to explore how various factors affect the weather/climate in a place. Pupils are encouraged to work together to produce a weather forecast for a particular location and to choose a suitable holiday destination for a family with particular interests. In carrying out these activities they engage in enquiry-based learning and problem solving, interpret weather maps and satellite images, use ICT skills and learn to draw and interpret climate graphs. Pupils distinguish between weather and climate and identify how human activities may be linked with climate patterns; the more detailed study of air masses is left until key stage 4. Assessment Pupils carry out a Microclimate Investigation (enquiry) around the school.
