Writing Standards - [Drawing conclusions from evidence](https://ai.page/c/drawing-conclusions-from-evidence/index.md): Report on findings from enquiries using oral and written explanations, draw simple conclusions, make predictions, and suggest improvements ## 10. Reading Standards for Informational Text - [Evidence Supporting Ideas](https://ai.page/c/evidence-supporting-ideas/index.md): Identify scientific evidence that has been used to support or refute ideas or arguments, evaluating the strength of evidence - [Repeated tests for reliability](https://ai.page/c/repeated-tests-for-reliability/index.md): Distinguish between precision (consistency of repeated readings) and accuracy (closeness to true value), use significant figures and standard form correctly, and choose and use appropriate measuring instruments to minimise uncertainty ## 11. Applied Science, Technology, Engineering and Manufacturing Service Area Standards · Understand energy sources - [Natural resources](https://ai.page/c/natural-resources/index.md): Obtain and combine information to describe that energy and fuels are derived from natural resources and that their uses affect the environment ## 12. Applied Science, Technology, Engineering and Manufacturing Service Area Standards · Understand the engineering design process - [Simple Design Problems](https://ai.page/c/simple-design-problems/index.md): Define a simple design problem reflecting a need or want that includes specified criteria for success and constraints on materials, time, or cost ## 13. Applied Science, Technology, Engineering and Manufacturing Service Area Standards · Understand measurement systems - [Accurate Measurement](https://ai.page/c/accurate-measurement/index.md): Take measurements with increasing accuracy and precision using a range of scientific equipment, taking repeat readings when appropriate ## 14. Earth and Space · Earth and the Solar System - [The solar system (age 11+)](https://ai.page/c/the-solar-system-age-11/index.md): Describe the detailed structure of the solar system, including moons, asteroids, and comets, compare orbital periods and distances of the planets, and distinguish between planets, dwarf planets, and other bodies ## 15. Life · Interdependent Relationships in Ecosystems - [Food Webs & Interdependence](https://ai.page/c/food-webs-and-interdependence/index.md): Construct and interpret food webs showing the interdependence of organisms in an ecosystem, explaining how a change in one population affects others ## 16. Life · Organization for Matter and Energy Flow in Organisms - [Classifying Organisms](https://ai.page/c/classifying-organisms/index.md): Describe how living things are classified into broad groups (micro-organisms, plants, animals) according to common observable characteristics, similarities, and differences ## 17. Physical · Energy in Chemical Processes and Everyday Life - [What Plants Need to Grow](https://ai.page/c/what-plants-need-to-grow/index.md): Understand that plants need water, light, and a suitable temperature to grow and stay healthy ## 18. Physical · Structure and Properties of Matter - [Testing Materials for Uses](https://ai.page/c/testing-materials-for-uses/index.md): Give reasons, based on evidence from comparative and fair tests, for the particular uses of everyday materials including metals, wood, and plastic - [How Materials Change State](https://ai.page/c/how-materials-change-state/index.md): Explain melting, freezing, boiling, condensing, and sublimation using the particle model, interpreting heating and cooling curves to identify melting and boiling points ## 19.
