Investigate how scientific knowledge is used by individuals and communities to identify problems, consider responses and make decisions


VCSSU073

Scientific understandings, discoveries and inventions are used to inform personal and community decisions and to solve problems that directly affect people’s lives


ACSHE100

Scientific knowledge is used to solve problems and inform personal and community decisions


AC9S6I01

Pose investigable questions to identify patterns and test relationships and make reasoned predictions


VCSIS082

With guidance, pose questions to clarify practical problems or inform a scientific investigation, and predict what the findings of an investigation might be based on previous experiences or general rules


ST3-8PW-ST

Explains how energy is transformed from one form to another


ST3-9PW-ST

Investigates the effects of increasing or decreasing the strength of a specific contact or non-contact force


ACSIS232

With guidance, pose clarifying questions and make predictions about scientific investigations


AC9S6I02

Plan and conduct repeatable investigations to answer questions including, as appropriate, deciding the variables to be changed, measured and controlled in fair tests; describing potential risks; planning for the safe use of equipment and materials; and identifying required permissions to conduct investigations on Country/Place


VCSIS083

With guidance, plan appropriate investigation types to answer questions or solve problems and use equipment, technologies and materials safely, identifying potential risks


ACSIS103

VCSIS084

Decide which variables should be changed, measured and controlled in fair tests and accurately observe, measure and record data


ACSIS104

Decide variables to be changed and measured in fair tests, and observe measure and record data with accuracy using digital technologies as appropriate


AC9S6I04

Construct and use appropriate representations, including tables, graphs and visual or physical models, to organise and process data and information and describe patterns, trends and relationships


VCSIS085

Construct and use a range of representations, including tables and graphs, to record, represent and describe observations, patterns or relationships in data

Construct and use a range of representations, including tables and graphs, to represent and describe observations, patterns or relationships in data using digital technologies as appropriate


VCSIS086

Compare data with predictions and use as evidence in developing explanations


ACSIS221

Compare data with predictions and use as evidence in developing explanations


AC9S6I05
