Science - Conductors and Insulators
Some materials let electricity pass through them easily. These materials are known as electrical conductors. Many metals, such as copper, and steel, are good electrical conductors. That is why the parts of electrical objects that need to let electricity pass through are always made of metal.
Some materials do not allow electricity to pass through them. These materials are known as electrical insulators. Plastic, glass, wood, and rubber are good electrical insulators. That is why they are used to cover materials that carry electricity.
- Watch the video. Consider the main ideas introduced.
- Watch the BTN extract on the history of electricity. Which
experiment demonstrated the existence of conductors?
- Then, complete the ‘Conductors and Insulators’ worksheet to
demonstrate your understanding. To test different materials, build a
simple circuit (refer to last week’s lesson) and use possible conductors
instead of a switch. Or use your understanding of insulators/conductors
to complete the activity. Examine the two diagrams for key ideas.

Writing: Writing your own news article
1. Last lesson you should have begun gathering research on a natural disaster, to assist you in
writing a news article. Read through your research so it is fresh and add more if necessary.
You will have used the Research Graphic Organiser and the Natural Disaster Inquiry Task.
2. We will now prepare to plan the news article. Begin by opening the News Article Graphic
Organiser.
3. Begin by brainstorming a Headline for your article. You may like to use alliteration, slang or
abbreviations here.
4. Write the Byline by writing the author's name (you are the author).
5. Next you will need a Lead paragraph. Remember to keep this short, but try to mention the 5
W’s (Who, what, when, why and where). As we are just planning today, you may prefer to use
dot points in your graphic organiser.
6. Plan the Body Paragraphs which include further details about the event. You may also
include quotes from primary sources. *Remember, quotes need quotation marks (speech
marks) around what was said. Again, you can use dot points.
7. Plan your conclusion to wrap up your article.
8. Re-read your work to make sure you have everything you need. Next lesson we will write a
published copy.
Extension:
Include URL links to any sources. OR Include an image of the disaster and write a caption below it.

Volume
What is Volume?
Volume is the amount of space taken up by an object. We use cubic units, such as cubic centimetres (written as cm3), to measure volume.
E.g. We would measure the volume of water in this bottle
Capacity is the amount that a container can hold altogether. We can use a range
of measurements to measure the capacity of liquid, such as litres, millilitres or pints
E.g. We would measure the total amount of water this bottle could hold
In this lesson, we will use centimetre cubes to estimate volume.
Estimating Volume
We can estimate the volume of a cube or cuboid by counting
the centimetre cubes that it is built from. 27 cubes
Activity 1: Use this link to digitally build these shapes. How many cubes did you use to make each shape? The
first one has been done for you

Levels of GovernmentKey Inquiry Questions:What is Australia’s system of government?
How does it work?
Today we continue our investigation into Australia’s system of government.
We started our journey in Britain
where we watched the early murmurings of democracy with the
signing of the Magna Carta in
1215.
We moved to Australia where a British settlement made up of 6 British colonies had been established.
1901These separate British colonies became one nationwith its own constitution and a system of government.
Fast forward
650 years
Time for a quick quokka recap
I dare you to move to the next slide!
Fast forward a few more
years
After European arrival, laws were passed by the governments in each of the separate colonies.
The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples of Australia had their own form of law, which covered all aspects of their lives; its culture, land and law. Some groups still follow these laws today.
Lawmaking in Australia
After federation in 1901, the colonies became states and the constitution set out the separation of lawmaking powers into 3 levels of government.

School Project
Term 3 - Weeks 8, 9 and 10
For the end of term, you are going to complete a project. You can select from one of the topics below:
The Seven Wonders of the World The New Seven Wonders of the World The Countries of South America Woollarawarre Bennalong
Neanderthal Man The Wright Brothers (the history of flight) Madame Curie Mt Everest The Penny-farthing bicycle Landing on the Moon History of Google United Nations Fukushima or Chernobyl The Titanic The Roman Empire
The project is to be completed on paper (or in an exercise book). None of the written work is to be typed and/or printed out. You can either trace or sketch any illustrations or print them if you have access to a printer.
1. Decide your topic; You must choose one of the topics listed above.
2. Think about the best way to present your work;
o Break your work up into sections
o Include margins and headings on each page o Do you need a table of contents and page numbers? o How will you include illustrations and or diagrams?
3. Start to research;
o Remember, always use multiple sources to research. Be mindful of the places you are finding your information. .com (commercial) .org (organization) .gov (government) .net (network) .edu (education) Not everything you read on the internet is true. Sometimes websites will present things in a certain way to suit their interests - this is called bias. You need to be critical of what you read and analyse the information you find carefully.
4. Rewrite the information you find in your own words. You may wish to make a draft copy before copying into your final project pages.
5. Your project must be at least 7 pages long.
6. Your work must be neat and well presented. You can be as creative as you like about the presentation of your project.
7. You must include a bibliography listing the books and or websites you obtained your information or images from.
Your project is due Week 1, Term 4. If we are back at school, you will present your project to the class, giving an overview of your research and sharing your most interesting findings. This will be presented over zoom if we are not yet back at school.

What are predictions?
Predicting requires the reader to do two things:
1) use clues the author provides in the text
2) use what he/she knows from personal experience or knowledge.
When readers combine these two things, they can make relevant, logical predictions

Volume & CapacityA N D T H E I R U N I T S O F M E A S U R E
Measuring Volume & Capacity
• Volume is the measurement of how much is actually in an object or how much
space an object takes up. Volume is measured in cubic centimetres, metres etc.
(cm3).
• Capacity is the measurement of how much an object can hold. We measure
capacity in milliliters (mL), liters (L), kiloliters (KL).
Measuring volume using displacement
• What is displacement? When an object
enters water, it pushes out water to
make room for itself. The object pushes
out a volume of water that is equal to its
own volume.
• When we measure the volume of an
object using displacement, we measure
the water that has been displaced in
millilitres (mL) or litres (L)
Noticing the relationship between cubic centimeters and litres
1. Watch this video that demonstrates how a cube
with a side of 10cm will displace 1 litre of water.
(ext. can you re-create this experiment at home!)
2. Watch this second video
• Therefore:
1cm3 = 1mL e.g., 80cm3 = 80mL
1000mL = 1L e.g., 80mL = 0.08L

WRITING A NEWSPAPER ARTICLE
Today we will learn about newspaper articles and their features. Next lesson, you will write your own.
TYPES OF NEWSPAPER ARTICLESMost newspaper articles break down into two categories:
• News articles
• Feature articles
You will also find opinion pieces, like editorials and book and movie reviews. But this lesson deals strictly with news and feature articles.
COMPARING ARTICLES
Here's how you can tell the difference between a news story and a feature story.
•News articles cover the basics of current events. They answer the questions: who, what, where, how, and when?
•Feature articles are longer and more in depth than regular news articles. They cover one subject from multiple angles and are written in a more creative, entertaining format. Although a news story can be creative and entertaining, too. Check out examples on the following slides.
It is important to remember that both news and features demand the same level of research and reporting.
NEWS ARTICLE EXAMPLES

3 4
1/09/2021

STRUCTURE & FEATURES
News articles start with a short, punchy, attention-grabbing headline. Headlines often use:
• Alliteration (using the same letter or sound at the beginning. For example, ‘Fed Up with the Festive Food Waste’.
• Abbreviations. For example, ‘NSW Lockdown Continues’
• Slang/casual language:. For example, ‘Maccas Celebrates 50th Birthday’
• Headlines are typically short, partly to keep them punchy, and partly because of a shortage of space.
The Leading paragraph. The first paragraph is called the lead. It is usually short, less than 25
words, and gives an overview of the event or story. The lead will often explain WHO, WHAT,
WHEN, WHERE and WHY (the 5W’s). The reason for this is that when many people read
newspapers, they often only read the first few paragraphs of the story, so journalist try to
present the important information first.
STRUCTURE & FEATURES
The Body paragraphs:
After the leading paragraph, the rest of the article should be written from most to least important
information. You can organise your information according to the inverted pyramid (see following page).
After you’ve listed all the most important facts in your news article, include any additional information that
might help the reader learn more, such as contact information, additional facts about the topic or people
involved, or quotes from interviews. When writing a quote in a newspaper article, always put the attribution
– the ‘he said’ bit – after the quote.
The Byline: Underneath the article is the byline, which includes the name on the journalist who wrote the
article.

Natural Disasters Inquiry Task
Imagine that you are an investigative newspaper reporter, living in a disaster-prone country.
One day, the unthinkable happens: a terrible natural disaster hits your city, with disastrous
consequences. As a journalist, it is your job to inform the public about this terrible event.
Task:
Choose a major natural disaster that has occurred somewhere in the world during the 20th or
21st century. Research this event and present your findings as a detailed newspaper article.
To complete the first part of this task (researching), you will need to apply an inquiry approach
of gathering information. This involves:
developing questions to research about your earthquake e.g. When and where did the
earthquake occur? How serious was it? How was the city and its population affected?
collecting information about your earthquake from a range of primary and secondary
sources, and recording it (in dot-point form) using the graphic organiser provided
evaluating the usefulness of the information you have collected, and selecting which
information will be included in your newspaper article
communicating your findings, using geographical terminology, appropriate vocabulary
and other visual representations of data e.g. graphs, tables and maps.
To complete the second part of this task (presenting), you will need to have an understanding of
how newspaper articles are structured. This includes:
Headline - a short, attention-getting statement about the event
Byline - the author’s name
Lead Paragraph - contains the main information of the event
Body Paragraphs - contain additional, more detailed information about event
Quotes - personal comments from people affected by the event
Concluding Paragraph - contains a brief summary of the event.
A planning sheet has been provided to help draft your newspaper article.

What is Water Displacement? resourcesDefinition
When an object enters water, it pushes out water to make room for itself. The object pushes out a volume of water that is equal to its own volume. This is called displacement.
Why is this a handy piece of information to know?
If you were asked to find the volume of a cube, it would be very simple. Multiply side by side by side (SxSxS or S³).
If you were asked to find the volume of an odd shape, such a tap or a sculpture, how would you calculate it?
Watch this video To see how you can measure volume using its water displacement.
44
SummaryIf you placed a 36cm³ block (for example) into a full cup of water and the block went fully under water, the 36cm³ of water would spill out (except we would convert it to milliliters. 36ml. Or if the cup wasn’t full, the water would rise 36ml.

Reflection1. How can you measure volume using its water
displacement? (use the word “submerge” for a clear explanation.
2. In what kind of a career might you need to know the volume of an irregular shaped object?
3. If you placed an object that had a volume of 36cm³, would the water level rise 36ml if part of the object floated above the surface? Why/why not?
4. Find a measuring jug, put in some water and take note of the amount. Find a waterproof object that can mostly float, and an object that sinks completely. Place one object in and write about what you observe of the water level and why you think the water level raised as much as it did. Do the same with the other object. Compare the two.
Extension Q: How might density impact water displacement of an object?

Create your own Political Campaign
Mission:
Your final mission in history this term is to create your own political party and campaign to convince the Australian public to vote your party into the Federal House Of Representatives.
To do this, you will need to follow the steps provided in this slideshow.
This task is to be completed entirely in an offline format, preferably cardboard.

Political Parties
You’ve heard of the Liberal Party, the National Party, the Greens and the Labor Party.
But did you know that there are many lesser known political parties too?
Animal Justice Party
Affordable Housing Party
Better Families Party
Health Australia Party
Transport Matters Party
Shooters, Fishers and Farmers Party
A political party becomes a parliamentary party when it has party members elected to parliament at the federal, state or territory level.
For the remainder of this term you are going to create a political party of your own and, using your skills of persuasion, convince Australian voters to elect you to the House of Representatives at a Federal Level.
The next slide will guide you through this process.
A political party is an organisation that represents a particular group of people or set of ideas.
It aims to have members elected to Parliament so their ideas can affect the way Australia is governed.
Party Platform and Policies
Where to begin?Start by thinking of on important issue that will benefit Australia as a whole. This will help you decide on a name for your political party.
DO NOT make your party about one small issue. Your party needs to speak for important issues that affect most Australians. For example, we will not accept a ‘No Homework Party’ or ‘No School Uniform Party’
Party NameChoose a name for your political party.
Party PlatformWhat are your party’s main beliefs? These need to be clearly stated so people know what your party stands for.
Party PoliciesWhat are 3 actions your party would like to implement on a particular issue once they are elected to parliament?
Steps to help you form your political party.
NOTE: you will need to have your party name, platform and policies checked by your teacher before you can proceed to creating your poster.

Now you need to convince the people of Australia to vote your party into the Federal House of Representatives.
Then you will become a Parliamentary Party with the power to make change in Australia.
To ensure your success, you must create one campaign display that includes the following:
Your party name Your party platform and policy (see slide 4) A catchy slogan Eye catching visual effects (including:
attention grabbing pictures, colours, symbols, infographics, etc.)
Be sure to engage your powerful persuasive language skills!!
REMEMBER: This is an offline task so a cardboard poster would be best
Your poster will be put on display around the school when we return to the classroom.

Grammar Term 3 Week 9
ClausesA clause is a group of words that contains a verb and its subject (a finite verb). The subjectof a clause may be expressed or understood. In the example, Stand up! the subject you isunderstood - not included in the sentence.
There are two types of clauses.(a) A main clause (independent clause) contains the main thought of the sentence andmakes sense standing alone. Examples: I spoke to the teacher who is our football coach. Thedog that was barking chased me across the lawn.
(b) A subordinate clause (dependent clause) cannot make sense standing on its own. Tomake a sentence, subordinate clauses must be added to a main clause. Examples: I saw thedog when I came home. They went to the shop so they could buy ice-creams. Subordinateclauses add information to a sentence and function in the same way as adjectives, adverbsor nouns. Examples: That’s the house where Susan lives. (adjective) She didn’t want to visitwhere Susan lives. (adverb) I don’t know where Susan lives. (noun)
Sentences are analysed by finding and naming the clauses.(a) Simple sentences consist of one clause. Example: Horses run.(b) Complex sentences have more than one verb and thus have more than one clause. Acomplex sentence has at least one main clause (independent clause) and one or moresubordinate clauses (dependent clauses). Example: When it was hot we went for a swimbecause we wanted to get cool.(c) Compound sentences consist of two or more main clauses (independent clauses) joinedby a conjunction. Example: I washed the dishes and Billy dried them.
Underline the main clause and circle the subordinate clause in each sentence. Hint! Themain clause might be in two parts with the subordinate clause embedded in between.a. The student who stayed away from school was punished.
b. The lady who is in charge of the school spoke to the grade 3 teachers.
c. I broke the bottle that had juice in it.
d. The farm where the grapes are grown belongs to my uncle.
e. The shed that houses the equipment was burnt to the ground.
f. The cupboard that is used to store glasses is made of mahogany.
g. The food that is fit to be eaten is in the refrigerator.
Sentence a Day
An adverbial clause is a complete message or thought, containing a verb or a verbgroup, which provides information which describes the person or thing named.Adverbial clauses can be used to include more information in a sentence and to make itmore interesting. An adverbial clause usually begins with a preposition (e.g. when,while, as, before, although, until, after, since, unless, whenever, where).
Write a sentence using the independent clause below. Remember the adverbial clause youwrite must contain a verb.

Using Water Displacement to Calculate Volume
22
You can use the water displacement of an object to calculate the volume of the object, regardless of its shape. In order to do this, you simply
1. Fill a measuring jug with water (enough to cover the object).2. Note what the water level before placing the object in.
3. Place the object in and note what the new water level is.4. Calculate the amount of water that has grown by subtracting the initial water level
by the new water level. This means you are finding the difference.
Important: Make sure the object’s unit is written correctly. If you are measuring the volume of a solid object, you use cm³ or m³. 1 millilitre is the equivalent of 1cm³. If 4ml of water is displaced, then the object’s volume is 4cm³

What is Volume?
Volume refers to the
amount of space an
object takes up.
Volume is measured in
units cubed because it
has three dimensions.
1. Using the interactive tool create a rectangular prism that
has its first layer measuring 3 cubes long by 4 cubes wide.
Suppose this rectangular prism is 2 layers high. How many
cubes make up this prism? Answer on paper or your Maths
slides.
2. Using the interactive tool create a rectangular prism that
has its first layer measuring 5 cubes long by 3 cubes wide.
How many cubes make up this prism if this prism is;
a) 2 layers high?
b) 3 layers high?
c) 10 layers high?
3.How can we work out the number of cubes that fit
inside ANY rectangular prism? Describe your thinking.
Explore this interactive volume tool for a few
minutes. Can you increase and decrease the volume of the
rectangular prism?
Now try these

Mini golf Activity Individual/partner
• Use your imagination to design a mini golf course.• The aim is to get the "ball" to the "hole" in the least
number of attempts as possible.• The mini golf course can be played outside or in a small
indoor space.• Vary the way you get the "ball" to the "hole" (kick/throw
instead of hitting, flick a coin or roll a marble on a tablefor small spaces).
Safety • Make sure the "holes" are not too close to each other.• Players waiting to hit must be at least 3 metres from the
hitter.
Time: 30 minutes
Equipment • Various objects for the golf club e.g.
bat, racquet, stick.• Various objects for "holes", such as:
o door mat or towelo hoola hoop, string or ropeo buckets, cups, bins or containers.
• Various objects for "balls", such as:o tennnis ball, rubber handballo frisbeeo soccer ball or footballo rolled-up sockso coins or marbles for indoor use.
Activity variations
• Add more obstacles to make the course harder.• If space is restricted, set up shorter "holes" that
only require chipping or short game shots.• Incorporate parts of the natural or built
environment outdoors as obstacles at each"hole".
