- Case-Study Cards: Extreme Events A set of four printable case-study cards for the Lesson 9 group analysis — a cyclone, a flood, a tsunami, and a heatwave — each with real data (a key figure), the cause, effects on the surface and community, and how people responded. Used to support the cause/effect/response analysis activity.
- Habitat Sorting Cards (Local Plants & Animals) A printable set of 8 local plant and animal cards for the Lesson 2 habitat-sorting group activity. Each card names the living thing, its habitat, and prompts students to identify how it meets its four survival needs.
- Reference Card: Circuit Symbols A printable circuit-symbol reference card for Lessons 10–12. Shows the four conventional symbols (cell, wire, globe, switch) with a labelled diagram and a note on what each component does, so students can draw circuits the standard way scientists do.
- Reference Card: Inside the Earth & the Ring of Fire A one-page reference card for Lesson 8 covering Earth's four layers (with real depths and temperatures), tectonic plates, and the Pacific Ring of Fire. Gives students the factual background to label diagrams and explain why earthquakes and volcanoes cluster at plate boundaries.
- Source Sheet: Saving the Numbat A curated, Year 6-readable source sheet on the numbat (Western Australia's faunal emblem), a threatened Australian species. Provides factual evidence on its needs, the threats to its survival, and conservation actions — for use in the Lesson 4 evidence-based response activity.
- Teacher Card: Chemical Change Demonstration Sequence A teacher demonstration card for the Lesson 7 'Observing chemical change' assessment task. Lists the five-change demonstration sequence in order with what to highlight, the correct classification, and a per-step safety note — so the teacher can run the demo smoothly while students complete their results grid.
