1. Earth and Space Science · A variety of hazards result from natural process; humans cannot eliminate natural hazards but can reduce their impacts' effect.
- Natural Disaster Solutions: Generate and compare multiple solutions to reduce the impacts of natural Earth processes on humans, such as earthquakes, floods, or volcanic eruptions
2. Earth and Space Science · Energy and fuels that humans use are derived from natural sources and their use affects the environment in multiple ways.
- Natural resources: Obtain and combine information to describe that energy and fuels are derived from natural resources and that their uses affect the environment
3. Earth and Space Science · Earth's physical features occur in patterns.
- Finding patterns in data: Analyse and interpret data from maps to describe patterns of Earth's features, recognising that many features result from processes that occur over long periods
4. Earth and Space Science · Four major earth systems interact.
- Erosion and weathering: Make observations and measurements to provide evidence of the effects of weathering or the rate of erosion by water, ice, wind, or vegetation
- Earth's atmosphere: Develop a model to describe ways the geosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere interact as connected Earth systems
5. Earth and Space Science · Earth has changed over time.
- How fossils form: Identify evidence from patterns in rock formations and fossils in rock layers to support an explanation for changes in a landscape over time
6. Life Science · Organisms have both internal and external structures that serve various functions.
- Senses, Brain & Responses: Use a model to describe that animals receive information through their senses, process it in their brain, and respond in different ways
- Structures for Survival: Construct an argument that plants and animals have internal and external structures that function to support survival, growth, behaviour, and reproduction
7. Physical Science · Patterns can encode, send, receive and decode information.
- Patterns & Codes for Information: Generate and compare multiple solutions that use patterns to transfer information, such as codes and signals
8. Physical Science · An object can be seen when light reflected from its surface enters the eyes.
- How We See Objects: Develop a model to describe that light reflecting from objects and entering the eye allows objects to be seen
9. Physical Science · Waves are regular patterns of motion.
- Waves & How They Move: Develop a model of waves to describe patterns in terms of amplitude and wavelength, and understand that waves can cause objects to move
10. Physical Science · Energy can be produced, used or released by converting stored energy.
- Building an energy-converting device: Apply scientific ideas to design, test, and refine a device that converts energy from one form to another
11. Physical Science · When objects collide contact forces transfer so as to change objects' motion.
- What happens when things collide: Ask questions and predict outcomes about the changes in energy that occur when objects collide
12. Physical Science · Energy can be moved from place to place.
- How energy travels around: Observe and provide evidence that energy can be transferred from place to place by sound, light, heat, and electric currents
13. Physical Science · The faster an object moves the more energy it has.
- Speed and energy: Use evidence to construct an explanation relating the speed of an object to the energy of that object
