Why do echidnas have spines? What makes an ice block melt? Why does the sun rise every morning? These Year 3 science lessons tackle the questions eight-year-olds actually ask, across four slide decks: living things and adaptations, heat and temperature, earth and space, and forces and motion.

The set spans the biological, chemical, earth and space, and physical sciences of the Australian Curriculum v9.0, from survival features and behaviours to the effect of heat on materials, Earth's rotation causing night and day, and friction on different surfaces. Each deck lists its objectives so it drops neatly into your program.

Present a lesson from the browser, or edit it first in Chalkie: swap animals for local species, adjust the investigation to your available equipment, or add revision slides. It is a straightforward way to keep Year 3 science lessons regular, even in a crowded timetable.
