Abstract
An invitation to be part of a small research project focusing on Australian Curriculum and the North provided an opportunity for professional learning in science for an Early Career Teacher working with Year 1-2 students. This article explores how the use of students’ photography of local water catchments helped to develop questioning and inquiry skills over the Primary Connections unit of Water Work. Through the use of a Class Science Journal the photographs provided a differentiated and inclusive means to engage and build students’ interest in water as an important resource as students developed conceptual understandings about where water comes from and how science helps people manage resources.
