INTRODUCTION
The term unit plan refers to the plan that includes what all are the topics that needs to be
taught, how it will be taught, the purpose of teaching & learning such topics and also the
duration for which the entire learning process is to be completed. A unit plan is clear, purposeful
plan that is aligned with approaches to teaching and dynamic education policies. It is mainly
prepared for having its two folded benefits that are having guided by a plan of high quality and
creation of clear understanding among students. And secondly, alignment of student needs for
learning with the instructions. The current assessment will be divided into three parts. Part A will
be detailing the science specialisation’s curriculum for the unit plans, describing the assessment
of learning of students, explaining the response to students whose learning is not as expected and
outlining the ways to enrich and extend the proficient students. In part B provided unit plan will
be annotated, evaluated and amended. Lastly in this assessment AITSL standards will be
reflected up on.

Detailing the Science Curriculum for the unit plans
Year 1 Science curriculum inquiry skills in science & studying of science as a human
attempt element is described in a 2 years’ duration. In this duration of two years, schools and
teachers in their planning refers to the standard achievement expectations along with the content
covered science understanding strand for ensuring its inclusion in both the years. Students are
taught how organising of observation can reveal patterns on which further assumptions
concerning phenomena can be made (Murphy, 2020). The first strand that is science
understanding covers biological sciences, chemical sciences, earth and space sciences, and
physical sciences. And the second strand that is Science as a Human Endeavour comprises nature
and development of science, and use and influence of science. Throughout the 2 year learning
process Science Inquiry Skills are developed in the learners which includes skills of questioning
and predicting, planning and conducting, processing and analysing data and information,
evaluating and communicating. VCE study guides are the extra resources that are created for
providing extra assistance to the students learning. Such study guides provide summary of the
entire topic along with the questions & answers typically for cracking the exams. These supports
students in their entire learning process and prepare them for examination. VCAL stands for The
