Science inquiry
- AC9S3I01Pose questions to explore observed patterns and relationships and make predictions based on observations
- AC9S3I02Use provided scaffolds to plan and conduct investigations to answer questions or test predictions, including identifying the elements of fair tests, and considering the safe use of materials and equipment
- AC9S3I03Follow procedures to make and record observations, including making formal measurements using familiar scaled instruments and using digital tools as appropriate
- AC9S3I04Construct and use representations, including tables, simple column graphs and visual or physical models, to organise data and information, show simple relationships and identify patterns
- AC9S3I05Compare findings with those of others, consider if investigations were fair, identify questions for further investigation and draw conclusions
- AC9S3I06Write and create texts to communicate findings and ideas for identified purposes and audiences, using scientific vocabulary and digital tools as appropriate
Science understanding
- AC9S3U01Compare characteristics of living and non-living things and examine the differences between the life cycles of plants and animals
- AC9S3U02Compare the observable properties of soils, rocks and minerals and investigate why they are important Earth resources
- AC9S3U03Identify sources of heat energy and examine how temperature changes when heat energy is transferred from one object to another
- AC9S3U04Investigate the observable properties of solids and liquids and how adding or removing heat energy leads to a change of state
