……..
Covering:
Biological Sciences
AC9S5U01: examine how particular structural features and behaviors of living things enable their survival in specific habitats.

Earth & Space Sciences:
AC9S5U02: describe how weathering, erosion, transportation and deposition cause slow or rapid change to Earth’s surface.

Chemical Sciences:
AC9S5U04: explain observable properties of solids, liquids and gases by modelling the motion and arrangement of particles.

Physical Sciences:
AC9S5U03: 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.

General:
Nature and development of science
AC9S5H01: examine why advances in science are often the result of collaboration or build on the work of others.

Use and influence of science
AC9S5H02: investigate how scientific knowledge is used by individuals and communities to identify problems, consider responses and make decisions.

Questioning and predicting
AC9S5I01: pose investigable questions to identify patterns and test relationships and make reasoned predictions.

Planning and conducting
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 investigations on Country/Place.
AC9S5I03: use equipment to observe, measure and record data with reasonable precision, using digital tools as appropriate.

Processing, modelling and analysing
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.

Evaluating
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.

Communicating
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.

Including: hands-on activities, explicit teaching content, formative assessment options, differentiation strategies, extension tasks, summative assessment (incl. marking rubric), cross curriculum opportunities, outdoor learning opportunities, early career/ real life education (related jobs) and materials needed (per lesson).
