Curriculum
ACSSU097
Electrical energy can be transferred and transformed in electrical circuits and can be generated from a range of sources
ACSHE098
Science involves testing predictions by gathering data and using evidence to develop explanations of events and phenomena and reflects historical and cultural contributions
ACSHE100
Scientific knowledge is used to solve problems and inform personal and community decisions
ACSIS232
With guidance, pose clarifying questions and make predictions about scientific investigations
ACSIS104
Decide variables to be changed and measured in fair tests, and observe measure and record data with accuracy using digital technologies as appropriate
ACSIS103
Identify, plan and apply the elements of scientific investigations to answer questions and solve problems using equipment and materials safely and identifying potential risks
ACSIS221
Compare data with predictions and use as evidence in developing explanations
ACSIS107
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
ACSIS108
Reflect on and suggest improvements to scientific investigations
ACSIS110
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
ST3-8PW-ST
Explains how energy is transformed from one form to another
ST3-11DI-T
Explains how digital systems represent data, connect together to form networks and transmit data
ST3-8PW-ST
Explains how energy is transformed from one form to another
VCSSU081
Energy from a variety of sources can be used to generate electricity; electric circuits enable this energy to be transferred to another place and then to be transformed into another form of energy

Investigate how scientific knowledge is used by individuals and communities to identify problems, consider responses and make decisions
AC9S5I01
Pose investigable questions to identify patterns and test relationships and make reasoned predictions
AC9S5I02
Plan 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 i
AC9S5I03
Use equipment to observe, measure and record data with reasonable precision, using digital tools as appropriate
AC9S5I04
Construct 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
AC9S5I05
Compare methods and findings with those of others, recognise possible sources of error, pose questions for further investigation and select evidence to draw reasoned conclusions
AC9S5I06
Write and create texts to communicate ideas and findings for specific purposes and audiences, including selection of language features, using digital tools as appropriate
