Light from a source forms shadows and can be absorbed, reflected and refracted
Science involves testing predictions by gathering data and using evidence to develop explanations of events and phenomena and reflects historical and cultural contributions
With guidance, pose clarifying questions and make predictions about scientific investigations
Decide variables to be changed and measured in fair tests, and observe measure and record data with accuracy using digital technologies as appropriate
Identify, plan and apply the elements of scientific investigations to answer questions and solve problems using equipment and materials safely and identifying potential risks
Compare data with predictions and use as evidence in developing explanations
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
Plans and conducts scientific investigations to answer testable questions, and collects and summarises data to communicate conclusions
Plans and uses materials, tools and equipment to develop solutions for a need or opportunity
Defines problems, and designs, modifies and follows algorithms to develop solutions
Explains how energy is transformed from one form to another
Explains how digital systems represent data, connect together to form networks and transmit data
Scientific understandings, discoveries and inventions are used to inform personal and community decisions and to solve problems that directly affect people's lives
Light from a source forms shadows and can be absorbed, reflected and refracted
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
With guidance, plan appropriate investigation types to answer questions or solve problems and use equipment, technologies and materials safely, identifying potential risks
Decide which variables should be changed, measured and controlled in fair tests and accurately observe, measure and record data
Construct and use a range of representations, including tables and graphs, to record, represent and describe observations, patterns or relationships in data
Compare data with predictions and use as evidence in developing explanations
Examine how people use data to develop scientific explanations
Examine how people use data to develop scientific explanation
Identify sources of light, recognise that light travels in a straight path and describe how shadows are formed and light can be reflected and refracted
Examine why advances in science are often the result of collaboration or build on the work of others
Pose investigable questions to identify patterns and test relationships and make reasoned predictions
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
Use equipment to observe, measure and record data with reasonable precision, using digital tools as appropriate
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
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

A science experiment that explores the perception of colour.
Would shining a different coloured light on an object change its colour? Let’s investigate!
This Physical Sciences experiment allows students to investigate how colours may change in certain conditions. It also guides young scientists through designing a fair test and the experiment procedure.
Students follow the scientific method to conduct the experiment in small groups and then complete the worksheet provided.
