    This forward planning document outlines a 3 lesson unit on Earth and Space Science for a Year 3 class. The unit focuses on conducting a shadow stick investigation to observe and record changes in shadow length and direction over the course of a day. Students will plan the investigation, make observations and record data, then construct graphs and have a discussion about their results. The lessons support development of scientific literacy and inquiry skills. Formative and summative assessments are integrated to evaluate students' understanding of the topic and ability to plan and conduct an investigation.
