| Discovering Natural Fibres: Introducing Fibres |
| Stage 4 Scope and Sequence Plan Fibres | |||
| Stage 4 Outcome | A student: | Unit Content | |
| Prescribed Focus Area | 4.1 | identifies historical examples of how scientific knowledge has changed people's understanding of the world | Paper, printing |
| 4.3 | identify areas of everyday life that have been effected by scientific developments | synthetic fibres | |
| Domain: Knowledge and Understanding | 4.8 | describe features of living things | Plant cells |
| 4.11 | identifies where resources are found, and describes ways in which they are used by humans | sources of plant fibres | |
| Domain: Skills | 4.13 | clarifies the purpose of an investigation and, with guidance, produces a plan to investigate a problem | Design ways to test the properties of fibres, string |
| 4.14 | follows a sequence of instructions to undertake first-hand investigation | Make string, rope, recycle paper | |
| 4.15 | uses given criteria to gather first-hand data | Collect and classify fibre samples | |
| 4.16 | accesses information from identified secondary sources | using Internet, library | |
| 4.14 | with guidance, presents information to an audience to achieve a particular purpose | presentation of data, reports, charts, posters, presentations, movies | |
| Stage 5 Scope and Sequence Plan Fibres | |||
| Stage 5 Outcome | A student: | Unit Content | |
| Prescribed Focus Area | 5.1 | explains how social factors influence the development and acceptance of scientific ideas | books printed on paper led to more people able to read |
| 5.3 | evaluates the impact of applications of science on society and the environment | Wood chipping for paper, biofuels, pollution by pulp mills Methyl cellulose has enormous number of uses e.g. foods, pharmaceuticals | |
| 5.5 | analyses how current research might affect people's lives | Ways of changing processes to be less polluting | |
| Domain: Knowledge and Understanding | 5.7 | relates properties of elements, compounds and mixtures to scientific models, theories and laws | Investigate properties of methyl cellulose solutions, non-newtonian fluids |
| 5.8 | relates the structure and function of living things to models, theories and laws | Cellulose polymers provide rigidity for plant stems, fibres for many uses, importance of food fibres in diet | |
