This assignment is a Year 1 science unit planner focusing on mealworms, designed for a lower junior primary school class with students from diverse multicultural backgrounds. The planner emphasizes a learning focus on instruction and scientific thinking, incorporating practical activities and algorithmic teaching methods. It outlines learning experiences that explore prior knowledge, external features, body parts, and the life cycle of mealworms, including habitat exploration. The unit includes key questions, activities (whole group, peer, and individual), assessments, and differentiation strategies to cater to various learning needs. The planner also includes the use of printable journals, magnifying glasses, and habitat creation for engaging students. The unit also delves into the anatomy of the mealworm, its body parts, and their functions, and also includes activities to show how habitat affects living things.
