BODY
Students are divided into groups of 3
Each group receives a “Prediction’s sheet”
o Choose material they’d remove
o Make predictions what will happen if removed
- Prediction worksheet
o Make prediction on why they think this will happen
(appendix 3)
After students have completed the written sheet they use
iMovie to create a video explaining their predictions upload
onto Seasaw
CONCLUSION - iPads
Discussion on mat about materials students have chosen to -Seasaw
remove and what their predictions were
Explain the next class they will repeat the ice-cream activity
with their chosen materials removed
Add predict to word wall
NEXT ELABORATE LESSON:
In next lesson of elaborate students will attempt to create their
ice-cream with their chosen material removed and record how it
differed from the first time creating the ice-cream (set timer for
5 mins of throwing) - ice-cream ingredients
Complete another ‘senses’ worksheet and outline how the ice- - ensure teacher has

Outline safety instructions: group is removing
o No eating the ingredients before activity.
o Parents must provide teacher with confirmation that
students can eat the ice-cream and are not allergic to
any ingredients. - senses worksheet
o If something spills or breaks leave it and seek teachers (appendix 4)

LEARNER DIVERSITY
- students with writing / spelling difficulties can use the dictation assist on their ipads
to spell for them
LESSON OBJECTIVES
As a result of this lesson, students will be able to:
In small groups make predictions about how removing a
material will affect the final result
Work collaboratively in groups to complete worksheet and
create iMovie
ASSESSMENT (SUMMATIVE – Science Inquiry Skills)
Rubric (appendix 5):
- worksheet and iMovie
o identify which material they are removing
o create predictions on how that will affect
their ice-cream
o consider why this will happen? showing
their understanding of the importance of that
material
SCIENCE FORWARD PLANNING DOCUMENT – Year 2
5E’s- EVALUATE (1 lesson)
TERM / WEEKS: To provide opportunities to review and reflect on their learning about XXXXX and TOPIC: Chemical Science
Term 3, week 5 represent what they know about XXXXX

CONCLUSION
DISCUSS:
o What was the purpose of combining the materials?
o Did you create the ice-cream?
o Why do you think this didn’t work?
LEARNER DIVERSITY
Extending: consider an alternative ingredient that can be combined
to alter the end result of the ice-cream
