Curriculum
ACSSU080
Light from a source forms shadows and can be absorbed, reflected and refracted
ACSHE081
Science involves testing predictions by gathering data and using evidence to develop explanations of events and phenomena and reflects historical and cultural contributions
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
ST3-1WS-S

VCSSU073
Scientific understandings, discoveries and inventions are used to inform personal and community decisions and to solve problems that directly affect people's lives
VCSSU080
Light from a source forms shadows and can be absorbed, reflected and refracted
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
VCSIS084
Decide which variables should be changed, measured and controlled in fair tests and accurately observe, measure and record data
