TEACHING and LEARNING OUTCOMES
The follwing outcomes are based on the NSW Board of Studies K-6 Syllabus documents and reflect just some of the many teaching and learning possibilities available from a study of Wetlands. Science Mathematics, Human Society and Its Environment, Creative Arts , English, Religion

Stage 1 Built Environments Students will know and
understand that: people organise spaces by
assembling and arranging components to meet particular needs. people
alter their environment in response to natural conditions. Living Things all
living things are different. living
things grow, reproduce, move, need air, take in nutrients and eliminate
wastes. the
senses are used to receive messages from all around. Earth and its Surroundings time can be measured
through change and regular events. the weather can have a
powerful effect on people. some living things change
according to the seasons. |
Stage 2 Science Built Environments people
create specialised environments to meet specific needs. structures
are built from natural and processed materials and components. environments
are sometimes modified to fulfil new and different requirements. Living Things plants
and animals live in environments that supply their needs. change
occurs throughout the lifetime of living things. living
things depend on other living things to survive. Earth and Its Surroundings most natural resources
are limited and so need to be used wisely. there are benefits and
problems associated with human changes to the
physical environment. |
Stage 3 Science Built Environments people
try to control the conditions in the environments they build. people
live in communities and build environments to service their common needs. both
aesthetic and functional factors need to be considered when people make changes
to their environments. Living Things living
things show variation within a species. the
activities of people can change the balance of nature. groups
of living things have changed over long periods of time. Earth and Its Surroundings there are many physical
phenomena which change the environment. there are various parts
to the physical environment, eg stars, planets, earth, air and water. environments on Earth
have been affected by technology. |

SGS1.3 Position Represents the position of
objects using models and drawings and describes using everyday language SGS1.2 2D Space Manipulates, sorts,
represents, describes and explores various two-dimensional shapes SGS1.1 3D Space Sorts, describes and
represents three-dimensional objects including cones, cubes, cylinders,
spheres and prisms, and recognises them in pictures and the environment MS1.5 Time Compares the duration of
events using informal methods and reads clocks on the half-hour MS1.3 Volume Estimates, measures,
compares and records volumes and capacities using informal units MS1.2 Area Estimates, measures,
compares and records areas using informal units MS1.1 Length Estimates, measures,
compares and records lengths and distances using informal units, metres and
centimetres |
Mathematics SGS2.3 Position Uses simple maps and grids
to represent position and follow routes SGS2.2a 2D Space Manipulates, compares,
sketches and names two-dimensional shapes and describes their features SGS2.1 3D Space Makes, compares, describes
and names three-dimensional objects including pyramids, and represents them
in drawings MS2.5 Time Reads and records time in
one-minute intervals and makes comparisons between time units MS2.3 Volume Estimates, measures,
compares and records volumes and capacities using litres, millilitres and
cubic centimetres MS2.2 Area Estimates, measures,
compares and records the areas of surfaces in square centimetres and square
metres MS2.1 Length Estimates, measures, compares
and records lengths, distances and perimeters in metres, centimetres and
millimetres DS2.1 Data Gathers and organises data,
displays data using tables and graphs, and interprets the results |
Mathematics SGS3.3 Position Uses a variety of mapping
skills SGS3.2a 2D Space Manipulates, classifies and
draws two-dimensional shapes and describes side and angle properties SGS3.1 3D Space Identifies
three-dimensional objects, including particular prisms and pyramids, on the
basis of their properties, and visualises, sketches and constructs them given
drawings of different views MS3.5 Time Uses twenty-four hour time
and am and pm notation in real-life situations and constructs timelines MS3.3 3D Volume Selects and uses the
appropriate unit to estimate and measure volume and capacity, including the
volume of rectangular prisms MS3.2 Area Selects and uses the
appropriate unit to calculate area, including the area of squares, rectangles
and triangles MS3.1 Length Selects and uses the
appropriate unit and device to measure lengths, distances and perimeters DS3.1 Data Displays and interprets
data in graphs with scales of many-to-one correspondence |

Environments ENS1.5 Compares and contrasts
natural and built features in their local area and the ways in
which people interact with these features. ENS1.6 Demonstrates an understanding
of the relationship between environments and |
HSIE Environments ENS2.6 Describes peoples interactions
with environments and identifies responsible ways of interacting with environments. people. |
HSIE Environments ENS3.6 Explains how various beliefs
and practices influence the ways in which people interact with, change and value
their environment. |

VAS1.2 Uses the forms to make artworks
according to varying requirements. VAS1.1 Makes artworks in a particular
way about experiences of real and imaginary things. DAS1.7 Performs simple dance sequences
incorporating basic movement skills and patterns. performs simple dance sequences
related to a specific theme, eg machines, magic |
Creative Arts
VAS2.2 Uses the forms to suggest
the qualities of subject matter. VAS2.1 Represents the qualities of
experiences and things that are interesting or beautiful by choosing among aspects of subject
matter. DAS2.7 Performs familiar movement
patterns in a variety of dance situations. creates and performs a dance
sequence that includes movements from sports, life, culture |
Creative Arts
VAS3.2 Makes artworks for different
audiences assembling materials in a variety of ways. VAS3.1 Investigates subject matter
in an attempt to represent likenesses of things in the world. DAS3.7 Performs a range of dance
styles and sequences confidently. composes own sequences for
performance using a variety of stimuli |
