Space Nova Resource

About this resource

In Space Nova, the Nova family embark on an action-packed quest for extra-terrestrial intelligence that will bring them face-to-face with epic life-forms, physics-defying phenomena and out-of-this-world planets beyond their wildest dreams.

The Space Nova Resource provides different classroom activities for years 3-6, with clips from the animated children’s series used as provocations for year level appropriate and rich science learning sequences, such as Living Things, Forces, Science and Human Lives and Energy. The sequences address Science Understanding content descriptors in the Australian Curriculum.

Through curated Space Nova clips, tangible experiences and thought-provoking discussion starters, these learning sequences will give students opportunities to critically analyse their observations and challenge their pe-conceptions. This approach lends itself to differentiation, as all students bring varying prior knowledge and experiences to the classroom.
