This is a 42-page unit from the Science: A STEM approach series that covers:

Science Understanding

Objects are made of materials that have observable properties (ACSSU003)

Science as a Human Endeavour

Science involves observing, asking questions about and describing changes in, objects and events (ACSHE013)

Science Inquiry Skills
