1. Environmental and Sustainability Education · Apply project-based learning to communicate about and act upon solutions for environmental problems in partnership with local communities, including tribes

1. Indigenous Ecological Knowledge: Understand that indigenous peoples of the rainforest have developed deep ecological knowledge over thousands of years — using plants for medicine, food, and building materials, practising sustainable farming methods like shifting cultivation, and understanding animal behaviour and forest ecology in ways that modern science is only beginning to appreciate

2. Earth and Space Sciences · Use evidence, data, and observation to notice and describe patterns in daylight and in the movement of the sun, moon, and stars.

1. Why seasons change: Make observations at different times of year to relate the amount of daylight to the time of year, noticing longer days in summer and shorter days in winter
2. Sun, Moon, and stars: Use observations of the sun, moon, and stars to describe predictable patterns such as the sun rising and setting, the moon changing shape, and stars appearing at night

3. Life Science · Use observational evidence to show and explain similarities and differences between plant and animal parents and their offspring.

1. Offspring resemble parents: Observe that young plants and animals resemble their parents but are not identical, recognising inherited similarities and individual differences

4. Life Science · Use research and investigation to show and explain how plants and animals use parts and behaviors to survive: use learned understandings to engineer a solution to a human problem.

1. How animals adapt to environments: Identify how animals and plants are adapted to suit their environment and understand that adaptation may lead to evolution over time

5. Physical Science · Use evidence, data, and investigation to show and explain how light and sound behave; use learned understandings to design a solution to a communication problem.

1. Light & Seeing in the Dark: Observe that objects in darkness can be seen only when illuminated by a light source
2. Communication with Light & Sound: Design and build a device that uses light or sound to solve the problem of communicating over a distance
3. Vibrations & Sound: Understand that vibrating materials can make sound, and that sound can make materials vibrate
