This worksheet enables students to record their observations during their mould growing experiment.
Investigate the physical conditions of a habitat and analyse how the growth and survival of living things is affected by changing physical conditions
Plan and conduct statistical investigations by posing and refining questions or identifying a problem and collecting relevant data; analyse and interpret the data and communicate findings within the context of the investigation
Examine why advances in science are often the result of collaboration or build on the work of others
Compare methods and findings with those of others, recognise possible sources of error, pose questions for further investigation and select evidence to draw reasoned conclusions
Interpret and compare data sets for ordinal and nominal categorical, discrete and continuous numerical variables using comparative displays or visualisations and digital tools; compare distributions in terms of mode, range and shape
Establish the formula for the area of a rectangle and use it to solve practical problems
Interpret and compare a range of data displays, including side-by-side column graphs for two categorical variables
The growth and survival of living things are affected by physical conditions of their environment
Science involves testing predictions by gathering data and using evidence to develop explanations of events and phenomena and reflects historical and cultural contributions
Solve problems involving the comparison of lengths and areas using appropriate units
Reflect on and suggest improvements to scientific investigations
The growth and survival of living things are affected by the physical conditions of their environment
Pose and refine questions to collect categorical or numerical data by observation or survey
Suggest improvements to the methods used to investigate a question or solve a problem
Construct, interpret and compare a range of data displays, including side-by-side column graphs for two categorical variables
Solve problems involving the comparison of lengths and areas using appropriate units
Plans and uses materials, tools and equipment to develop solutions for a need or opportunity
Investigates the effects of increasing or decreasing the strength of a specific contact or non-contact force
Describes and represents mathematical situations in a variety of ways using mathematical terminology and some conventions

Selects and uses the appropriate unit and device to measure lengths and distances including perimeters
Selects and uses the appropriate unit to calculate areas, including areas of rectangles
Combines, splits and rearranges shapes to determine the area of parallelograms and triangles
Constructs graphs using many-to-one scales
