STEAM Lessons Mapped to Australian Core Standards

The units of work for Australia is mapped to the Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA, 2018), aligned to the core standards and sequence content for Science Years 3-6. In mapping to the curriculum, the STEAM learning Continuum, Robotics and Coding curricula were also considered in providing part of the STEAM connection mapping for each Unit of Work (UoW), especially for the technology pillar.

The Australian Units of Work are based on the Australian Curriculum (ACARA, 2018).

Try these quests first!

To help educators get started, these quests provide a simple entry point for in-game projects. Although not specifically mapped to core standards, they require less preparation and can be delivered autonomously with the game’s questing engine and the player’s AI robot companion, Socket.
