ACSSU078

The Earth is part of a system of planets orbiting around a star (the sun)

ACSHE081

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

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

ACSIS231

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

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

ACSIS087

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

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

ACSIS218

Compare data with predictions and use as evidence in developing explanations

ACSIS091

Reflect on and suggest improvements to scientific investigations

ACSIS093

Communicate ideas, explanations and processes using scientific representations in a variety of ways, including multi-modal texts

VCSSU078

Earth is part of a system of planets orbiting around a star (the Sun)

VCSSU073

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

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

VCSIS083

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

VCSIS084

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

VCSIS085

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

Compare data with predictions and use as evidence in developing explanations

VCSIS087

Suggest improvements to the methods used to investigate a question or solve a problem

VCSIS088
