Science inquiry
- AC9S5I01Pose investigable questions to identify patterns and test relationships and make reasoned predictions
- AC9S5I02Plan 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
- AC9S5I03Use equipment to observe, measure and record data with reasonable precision, using digital tools as appropriate
- AC9S5I04Construct 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
- AC9S5I05Compare methods and findings with those of others, recognise possible sources of error, pose questions for further investigation and select evidence to draw reasoned conclusions
- AC9S5I06Write and create texts to communicate ideas and findings for specific purposes and audiences, including selection of language features, using digital tools as appropriate
Science understanding
- AC9S5U01Examine how particular structural features and behaviours of living things enable their survival in specific habitats
- AC9S5U02Describe how weathering, erosion, transportation and deposition cause slow or rapid change to Earth’s surface
- AC9S5U03Identify sources of light, recognise that light travels in a straight path and describe how shadows are formed and light can be reflected and refracted
- AC9S5U04Explain observable properties of solids, liquids and gases by modelling the motion and arrangement of particles
