STEM In STEM students will be learning that living things have a variety of external features and live in different places where their basic needs, including food, water and shelter, are met. They will recognise common features of animals, describe the use of animal body parts for particular purposes, and identify common features of plants. They will recognise that different living things live in different places and explore what happens when habitats change and some living things can no longer have their needs met. Students will then learn about how an object moves depends on a variety of factors including their size and shape: a push or a pull affects how an object moves or changes shape. They will observe the way different shaped objects move and compare how different sized, but similar shaped, objects roll and bounce and how the movement of different living things depends on their size and shape. They will also explore how different strengths of pushes and pulls affect the movement of objects. DIGITAL DESIGN In Term 3, students begin to repeat patterns, follow simple sequenced steps, and identify conditions to develop an understanding of computational thinking and programming using block coding. In Term 4, students focus on developing various techniques through the Media Arts. Students will plan and create their own media artworks using story principles. They create such media artworks as photo stories and animations.
