1. Earth and Space Science · A variety of weather hazards result from natural process; humans cannot eliminate weather-related hazards but can reduce their impacts.

1. Designing for Weather Hazards: Make a claim about the merit of a design solution that reduces the impacts of a weather-related hazard such as flooding, wind damage, or extreme temperatures

2. Earth and Space Science · Climate describes patterns of typical weather conditions over different scales and variations; historical weather patterns can be analyzed.

1. Seasonal changes (age 8+): Represent data in tables and graphical displays to describe typical weather conditions expected during a particular season
2. Weather vs climate: Obtain and combine information to describe climates in different regions of the world, distinguishing between weather and climate

3. Life Science · Sometimes differences in characteristics between individuals of the same species provide advantages in survival and reproduction.

1. Variation & Survival Advantage: Use evidence to explain how variations in characteristics among individuals of the same species may provide advantages in surviving, finding mates, and reproducing

4. Life Science · Some living organisms resemble organisms that once lived on Earth .

1. Fossils as Evidence: Analyse and interpret data from fossils to provide evidence of organisms and environments that existed long ago

5. Life Science · Different organisms vary in how they look and function because they have different inherited information; the environment also affects the traits that an organism develops.

1. Inherited characteristics: Analyse and interpret data to provide evidence that plants and animals have traits inherited from parents and that variation of these traits exists in a group of similar organisms
2. Traits: inherited and environmental: Use evidence to support the explanation that traits can be influenced by the environment as well as inheritance

6. Life Science · Being part of a group helps animals obtain food, defend themselves and cope with changes.

1. Animal Groups & Survival: Construct an argument that some animals form groups that help members survive, such as herds, packs, or colonies

7. Life Science · Organisms have unique and diverse life cycles.

1. Life Cycles of Organisms: Develop models to describe that organisms have unique and diverse life cycles but all share the common stages of birth, growth, reproduction, and death

8. Physical Science · Objects in contact exert forces on each other; electric and magnetic forces between a pair of objects do not require contact.

1. Contact & Non-Contact Forces: Notice that some forces need contact between two objects (contact forces) while magnetic forces can act at a distance (non-contact forces)

9. Physical Science · Patterns of motion can be used to predict future motion.

1. Predicting Motion Patterns: Make observations and measurements of an object's motion to provide evidence that a pattern can be used to predict future motion
