Science as a human endeavour

• AC9S7H01Explain how new evidence or different perspectives can lead to changes in scientific knowledge
• AC9S7H02Investigate how cultural perspectives and world views influence the development of scientific knowledge
• AC9S7H03Examine how proposed scientific responses to contemporary issues may impact on society and explore ethical, environmental, social and economic considerations
• AC9S7H04Explore the role of science communication in informing individual viewpoints and community policies and regulations

Science inquiry

• AC9S7I01Develop investigable questions, reasoned predictions and hypotheses to explore scientific models, identify patterns and test relationships
• AC9S7I02Plan and conduct reproducible investigations to answer questions and test hypotheses, including identifying variables and assumptions and, as appropriate, recognising and managing risks, considering ethical issues and recognising key considerations regarding heritage sites and artefacts on Country/Place
• AC9S7I03Select and use equipment to generate and record data with precision, using digital tools as appropriate
• AC9S7I04Select and construct appropriate representations, including tables, graphs, models and mathematical relationships, to organise and process data and information
• AC9S7I05Analyse data and information to describe patterns, trends and relationships and identify anomalies
• AC9S7I06Analyse methods, conclusions and claims for assumptions, possible sources of error, conflicting evidence and unanswered questions
• AC9S7I07Construct evidence-based arguments to support conclusions or evaluate claims and consider any ethical issues and cultural protocols associated with using or citing secondary data or information
• AC9S7I08Write and create texts to communicate ideas, findings and arguments for specific purposes and audiences, including selection of appropriate language and text features, using digital tools as appropriate

Science understanding

• AC9S7U01Investigate the role of classification in ordering and organising the diversity of life on Earth and use and develop classification tools including dichotomous keys
• AC9S7U02Use models, including food webs, to represent matter and energy flow in ecosystems and predict the impact of changing abiotic and biotic factors on populations
• AC9S7U03Model cyclic changes in the relative positions of the Earth, sun and moon and explain how these cycles cause eclipses and influence predictable phenomena on Earth, including seasons and tides
• AC9S7U04Investigate and represent balanced and unbalanced forces, including gravitational force, acting on objects, and relate changes in an object’s motion to its mass and the magnitude and direction of forces acting on it
• AC9S7U05Use particle theory to describe the arrangement of particles in a substance, including the motion of and attraction between particles, and relate this to the properties of the substance
• AC9S7U06Use a particle model to describe differences between pure substances and mixtures and apply understanding of properties of substances to separate mixtures
