Curriculum
ACSSU077
Solids, liquids and gases have different observable properties and behave in different ways
ACSHE081
Science involves testing predictions by gathering data and using evidence to develop explanations of events and phenomena and reflects historical and cultural contributions
ACSHE083
Scientific knowledge is used to solve problems and inform personal and community decisions
ACSIS231
With guidance, pose clarifying questions and make predictions about scientific investigations
ACSIS087
Decide variables to be changed and measured in fair tests, and observe measure and record data with accuracy using digital technologies as appropriate
ACSIS086
Identify, plan and apply the elements of scientific investigations to answer questions and solve problems using equipment and materials safely and identifying potential risks
ACSIS218
Compare data with predictions and use as evidence in developing explanations
ACSIS090
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
ACSIS091
Reflect on and suggest improvements to scientific investigations
ACSIS093
Communicate ideas, explanations and processes using scientific representations in a variety of ways, including multi-modal texts
ST3-1WS-S
Plans and conducts scientific investigations to answer testable questions, and collects and summarises data to communicate conclusions
ST3-2DP-T
Plans and uses materials, tools and equipment to develop solutions for a need or opportunity

VCSSU073
Scientific understandings, discoveries and inventions are used to inform personal and community decisions and to solve problems that directly affect people's lives
VCSSU076
Solids, liquids and gases behave in different ways and have observable properties that help to classify them
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

Compare data with predictions and use as evidence in developing explanations
VCSIS087
Suggest improvements to the methods used to investigate a question or solve a problem
