Below is a list of curriculum requirements relevant to the F-2 discussion and activities from the previous page.
Completing the discussion as described, without the students completing any of the associated activities, covers many of these. Next to each of the content descriptions below, the activity that covers it is listed.
We recommend that you amend the discussion and activities as required to focus more on the particular content description that you need to cover. If you need any assistance, feel free to contact us at support@ala.org.au.
