Foundation science is built on noticing: what living things need, how everyday materials look and behave, and how the weather changes across the day and the year. These Foundation science lessons turn that natural curiosity into three structured slide decks covering living things, materials and objects, and weather and seasons.
Each lesson aligns to the Australian Curriculum v9.0, with its objectives listed alongside so you can match a deck to your science unit. The slides mix simple explanations with images, discussion questions and short observation tasks that prompt students to look closely, describe what they see and share their thinking.
You can present a deck exactly as written, or sign in to Chalkie to adapt the slides first, perhaps adding photos from your own school garden or swapping examples to match your local seasons. Most teachers find one lesson comfortably fills a Foundation science session, with discussion time built in.
