In this lesson students will investigate the risks that ecosystems are facing.
Different living things have different life cycles and depend on each other and the environment to survive
Questions, plans and conducts scientific investigations, collects and summarises data and communicates using scientific representations
Selects and uses materials, tools and equipment to develop solutions for a need or opportunity
Compares features and characteristics of living and non-living things
Describes how agricultural processes are used to grow plants and raise animals for food, clothing and shelter
Living things depend on each other and the environment to survive
Science involves making predictions and describing patterns and relationships
Science knowledge helps people to understand the effects of their actions
Investigates regular changes caused by interactions between the Earth and the Sun, and changes to the Earth’s surface
Science knowledge helps people to understand the effect of their actions
With guidance, identify questions in familiar contexts that can be investigated scientifically and predict what might happen based on prior knowledge
Describes how adding or removing heat causes a change of state
Investigates the suitability of natural and processed materials for a range of purposes
With guidance, identify questions in familiar contexts that can be investigated scientifically and make predictions based on prior knowledge
Safely use appropriate materials, tools, equipment and technologies
Describes the characteristics and effects of common forms of energy, such as light and heat
Describes how contact and non-contact forces affect an object’s motion
With guidance, plan and conduct scientific investigations to find answers to questions, considering the safe use of appropriate materials and equipment
Use formal measurements in the collection and recording of observations
Consider the elements of fair tests and use formal measurements and digital technologies as appropriate, to make and record observations accurately
Use a range of methods including tables and column graphs to represent data and to identify patterns and trends
Defines problems, describes and follows algorithms to develop solutions
Describes how digital systems represent and transmit data
Use a range of methods including tables and simple column graphs to represent data and to identify patterns and trends
Compare results with predictions, suggesting possible reasons for findings
Compare results with predictions, suggesting possible reasons for findings
Reflect on an investigation, including whether a test was fair or not
Reflect on investigations, including whether a test was fair or not
Represent and communicate observations, ideas and findings to show patterns and relationships using formal and informal scientific language
Represent and communicate observations, ideas and findings using formal and informal representations
