Sustainability
- Cross curriculum priority
o Where does our understanding of plants like into the CC priority?
o Sustainability addresses the ongoing capacity of Earth to maintain life
o Sustainable patterns of living meet the needs of the present without compromising the
ability of future generations to meet their needs.
Children’s understanding of plants
- Less developed than their conception of animals
- No real understanding of plant reproduction
o Fruit functions as a seed dispersal mechanism – true!
o Fruit grows for us to eat – students understanding
- Unsure if they are alive – they don’t have movement
o Plant nutrition – not from soil and water
- Ask them to draw a plant – what do you notice
o Prac activity: Draw me a plant

Part a: presenting design brief in tutorial, print a copy for group members, not part of the assessment, curriculum content, student"s prior skills, creativity and engagement, look at evaluation questions. Part b: 500 words +/- 10, written overview of technologies design brief, cross curriculum understandings. Science (learning area: science understanding (strand, biological sciences (sub-strands) No real understanding of plant reproduction: fruit functions as a seed dispersal mechanism true, fruit grows for us to eat students understanding. Unsure if they are alive they don"t have movement: plant nutrition not from soil and water. Ask them to draw a plant what do you notice: prac activity: draw me a plant. Producers: respiration, growth and new offspring, sun, solar radiation, eaten by consumers, reflective light, waste, dead tissue. Environmental: production of oxygen, co2 intake, producers of the food chain. Social: attractive and enjoyable outdoor environment, human habitat, home gardens, plant nursery.
