Curriculum content descriptions

AC9S5U04

Explain observable properties of solids, liquids and gases by modelling the motion and arrangement of particles


VCSSU076

Solids, liquids and gases behave in different ways and have observable properties that help to classify them


ST3-1WS-S

Plans and conducts scientific investigations to answer testable questions, and collects and summarises data to communicate conclusions


ST3-2DP-T

Plans and uses materials, tools and equipment to develop solutions for a need or opportunity


ST3-6MW-S

Explains the effect of heat on the properties and behaviour of materials


ST3-7MW-T

Explains how the properties of materials determines their use for a range of purposes


ACSSU077

Solids, liquids and gases have different observable properties and behave in different ways

Examine why advances in science are often the result of collaboration or build on the work of others


ST3-4LW-S

Examines how the environment affects the growth, survival and adaptation of living things


ST3-5LW-T

Explains how food and fibre are produced sustainably in managed environments for health and nutrition


ACSHE081

Science involves testing predictions by gathering data and using evidence to develop explanations of events and phenomena and reflects historical and cultural contributions


AC9S5H02

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


ACSHE083

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


AC9S5I01

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


ACSIS231

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


AC9S5I02

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


ACSIS086

Identify, plan and apply the elements of scientific investigations to answer questions and solve problems using equipment and materials safely and identifying potential risks


AC9S5I03

Use equipment to observe, measure and record data with reasonable precision, using digital tools as appropriate


VCSIS084

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


ACSIS087

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


AC9S5I04

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


ST3-3DP-T

Defines problems, and designs, modifies and follows algorithms to develop solutions


ST3-11DI-T

Explains how digital systems represent data, connect together to form networks and transmit data


ACSIS090

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


ST3-10ES-S

Explains regular events in the solar system and geological events on the Earth’s surface


ACSIS218

Compare data with predictions and use as evidence in developing explanations


AC9S5I05

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
