Teach AC9SFU02 this week?
TeachKoala turns this descriptor into a complete lesson — illustrated slides with teacher notes, a differentiated activity sheet and a quiz — aligned to AC9SFU02 specifically, never an invented code. Your first lesson is free.

What Foundation Science students should achieve
Coverage is judged against the achievement standard — not by ticking every content description. These are the official Foundation Science standard sentences this code builds towards:
- They identify factors that influence the movement of objects.
- They describe the observable properties of the materials that make up objects.
- They identify examples of people using observation and questioning to learn about the natural world.
- With guidance, they represent observations and identify patterns.
- Students pose questions and make predictions based on their experiences.
- They engage in investigations and make observations safely.
The Science understanding progression either side of AC9SFU02
A class can only meet this descriptor if they were taught the one before it. If yours hasn't, that's where the lesson starts — not here.
Builds towards · Year 1
- AC9S1U01identify the basic needs of plants and animals, including air, water, food or shelter, and describe how the places they live meet those needs
- AC9S1U02describe daily and seasonal changes in the environment and explore how these changes affect everyday life
- AC9S1U03describe pushes and pulls in terms of strength and direction and predict the effect of these forces on objects’ motion and shape
