Program Module

Teach Oz-e-science Year F-6

Overview

This course aligns with the Oz-e-Science curriculum program. Teachers and assistant teachers should complete this course before using the Oz-e-Science program in the classroom.

The Oz-e-Science program is based on explicit, teacher-led instruction and scientific inquiry. The program has a heavy focus on science content knowledge involving exposure to examples, understanding the logical rules or principles underpinning the examples, and applying this understanding to novel examples.

The program engages and teaches students in the practice of scientific inquiry. This involves learning about the scientific method and applying it to practical science research activities and simulations set out in the units.

Oz-e-Science teaches scientific inquiry according to the scientific method rather than using inquiry learning pedagogy. The learning pedagogy is explicit instruction.
