Teaching Activities 

9ME1A: Observe, using their senses, a range of materials used to make specific objects products, places and spaces

Opportunities for students to meet this indicator would happen incidentally throughout the teaching day. When cooking students would have the opportunity to observe and explore using their senses the ingredients used to produce a food product. This could include smelling, tasting and touching. Similarly in different environments throughout the school such as playground, sensory rooms and classroom students would have the opportunity to explore these places and spaces with their senses. Teachers could make observational statements that draw student’s attention to what they are observing.

‘SN, look we are using eggs in the cake.’

‘SN, we used honey to make a sandwich. Can you taste the honey?’

‘SN, we are sitting on the concrete. It feels hot/cool/hard?’

‘SN, we are making pizza. Can you smell it cooking?’

Websites that contain resources, games or activities that could be used to support this goal include:
