Organization and Function |
Interactions between organisms, including the effects of human activities can be represented by food chains and food webs
ACSSU112 |
The Food Web and the Physical Environment |
Chemical sciences | |
Mixtures, including solutions, contain a combination of pure substances that can be separated using a range of techniques
ACSSU113 |
Elements and the Periodic Table |
Earth and space sciences | |
Predictable phenomena on Earth, including seasons and eclipses, are caused by the relative positions of the sun, Earth and the moon
ACSSU115 |
What Causes the Seasons |
Some of Earth’s resources are renewable, including water that cycles through the environment, but others are non-renewable
ACSSU116 |
Water Cycle Natural Energy and Material Resources |
Physical sciences | |
Change to an object’s motion is caused by unbalanced forces, including Earth’s gravitational attraction, acting on the object
ACSSU117 |
Gravity and the Solar System |
Science as a Human Endeavour | eTAP Lesson |
Nature and development of science | |
Scientific knowledge has changed peoples’ understanding of the world and is refined as new evidence becomes available
ACSHE119 |
|
Science knowledge can develop through collaboration across the disciplines of science and the contributions of people from a range of cultures
ACSHE223 |
Collaborate to Evaluate Presentations |
Use and influence of science | |
Solutions to contemporary issues that are found using science and technology, may impact on other areas of society and may involve ethical considerations
ACSHE120 |
Resources in the Ecosystem |
People use science understanding and skills in their occupations and these have influenced the development of practices in areas of human activity
ACSHE121 |

The Scientific Method |
Planning and conducting | |
Collaboratively and individually plan and conduct a range of investigation types, including fieldwork and experiments, ensuring safety and ethical guidelines are followed
ACSIS125 |
Information Collection |
Measure and control variables, select equipment appropriate to the task and collect data with accuracy
ACSIS126 |
Tools and Technology |
Processing and analysing data and information | |
Construct and use a range of representations, including graphs, keys and models to represent and analyse patterns or relationships in data using digital technologies as appropriate
ACSIS129 |
Graphing Data |
Summarise data, from students’ own investigations and secondary sources, and use scientific understanding to identify relationships and draw conclusions based on evidence
ACSIS130 |
Drawing Conclusions |
Evaluating | |
Reflect on scientific investigations including evaluating the quality of the data collected, and identifying improvements
ACSIS131 |
Finding Answers to Questions |
Use scientific knowledge and findings from investigations to evaluate claims based on evidence
