Science
This year at Onslow School, Science has a strong focus on Two-Way Science which is where local Aboriginal knowledge meets Western Science.
Aboriginal Australians are our first scientists and have an amazing knowledge of country that students will be able to learn about this year. Two-way science will (when the weather is suitable) be done outside on country.
Each class will have one lesson of Two-Way Science per week with AIEO, Science teacher and local community members when possible.
During term 1Students have focused one 4 native trees in the school grounds and completed many activities to do with these trees for e.g., uses (tools, food, medicine, sheleter), plant and animal adaptations, classifying using genus and observations and investigations such as why do animals burrow and which bardi grub is the stretchiest?
Below are some links to show Two-Way Science in Action and one of the main resources we use, Two-way Science: An Integrated Learning Program for Aboriginal Desert Schools.
