Curriculum content descriptions

AC9S1U03

Describe pushes and pulls in terms of strength and direction and predict the effect of these forces on objects’ motion and shape


VCSSU048

The way objects move depends on a variety of factors including their size and shape: a push or a pull affects how an object moves or changes shape


STe-1WS-S

Observes, questions and collects data to communicate ideas


STe-2DP-T

Develops solutions to an identified need


STe-5PW-ST

Observes the way objects move and relates changes in motion to push and pull forces


ACSSU033

A push or a pull affects how an object moves or changes shape


AC9S2H01

Describe how people use science in their daily lives, including using patterns to make scientific predictions


ST1-1WS-S

Observes, questions and collects data to communicate and compare ideas


ST1-10ES-S

Recognises observable changes occurring in the sky and on the land and identifies Earth’s resources


ACSHE034

Science involves observing, asking questions about, and describing changes in, objects and events


VCSSU041

People use science in their daily lives


ST1-2DP-T

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


ST1-4LW-S

Describes observable features of living things and their environments


ST1-5LW-T

Identifies how plants and animals are used for food and fibre products


ACSHE035

People use science in their daily lives, including when caring for their environment and living things


AC9S2I01

Pose questions to explore observed simple patterns and relationships and make predictions based on experiences


VCSIS050

Respond to and pose questions, and make predictions about familiar objects and events


ST1-6MW-S

Identifies that materials can be changed or combined


ST1-7MW-T

Describes how the properties of materials determine their use


ACSIS037

Pose and respond to questions, and make predictions about familiar objects and events


AC9S2I02

Suggest and follow safe procedures to investigate questions and test predictions


VCSIS051

Participate in guided investigations, including making observations using the senses, to explore and answer questions


ACSIS038

Participate in guided investigations to explore and answer questions


AC9S2I03

Make and record observations, including informal measurements, using digital tools as appropriate


VCSIS052

Use informal measurements in the collection and recording of observations


ACSIS039

Use informal measurements to collect and record observations, using digital technologies as appropriate


AC9S2I04

Sort and order data and information and represent patterns, including with provided tables and visual or physical models


VCSIS053

Use a range of methods, including drawings and provided tables, to sort information


ST1-8PW-S

Describes common forms of energy and explores some characteristics of sound energy


ST1-9PW-ST

Investigates how forces and energy are used in products


ST1-3DP-T

Describes, follows and represents algorithms to solve problems


ST1-11DI-T

Identifies the components of digital systems and explores how data is represented


ACSIS040

Use a range of methods to sort information, including drawings and provided tables and through discussion, compare observations with predictions


AC9S2I05

Compare observations with predictions and others’ observations, consider if investigations are fair and identify further questions with guidance


VCSIS054

Compare observations and predictions with those of others


ACSIS041

Compare observations with those of others


AC9S2I06

Write and create texts to communicate observations, findings and ideas, using everyday and scientific vocabulary


VCSIS055

Represent and communicate observations and ideas about changes in objects and events in a variety of ways


ACSIS042

Represent and communicate observations and ideas in a variety of ways
