FULL SCIENCE Curriculum: 40 Lesson Plans + 4 Summative Assessment Tasks + Worksheet Suggestions (Year 7)

Covering:
Physical Sciences:
AC9S7U04 - investigate and represent balanced and unbalanced forces, including
gravitational force, acting on objects, and relate changes in an object’s motion to
its mass and the magnitude and direction of forces acting on it.

Earth and Space Sciences:
AC9S7U03 - model cyclic changes in the relative positions of the Earth, sun and moon and explain how these cycles cause eclipses and influence predictable phenomena on Earth, including seasons and tides.
+
Chemical Sciences:
AC9S7U05 - use particle theory to describe the arrangement of particles in a substance, including the motion of and attraction between particles, and relate this to the properties of the substance.
AC9S7U06 - use a particle model to describe differences between pure substances and mixtures and apply understanding of properties of substances to separate mixtures.
+
Biological Sciences:
AC9S7U01 - investigate the role of classification in ordering and organising the diversity of life on Earth and use and develop classification tools including dichotomous keys
AC9S7U02 - use models, including food webs, to represent matter and energy flow in
ecosystems and predict the impact of changing abiotic and biotic factors on populations
+
Science as a human endeavour (all content descriptors)
+
Science inquiry (all content descriptors)
