ACSIS103
Identify, plan and apply the elements of scientific investigations to answer questions and solve problems using equipment and materials safely and identifying potential risks
ACSIS104
Decide variables to be changed and measured in fair tests, and observe measure and record data with accuracy using digital technologies as appropriate
ACSIS107
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
ACSIS221
Compare data with predictions and use as evidence in developing explanations
ACSIS108
Reflect on and suggest improvements to scientific investigations
ACSIS110
Communicate ideas, explanations and processes using scientific representations in a variety of ways, including multi-modal texts

VIC
VCSSU077
Changes to materials can be reversible, including melting, freezing, evaporating, or irreversible, including burning and rusting
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
