1. Engineering Design · Optimizing the Solution Process
- Fair testing (age 8+): Plan and carry out fair tests in which variables are controlled and failure points are considered to identify aspects of a model or prototype that can be improved
2. Engineering Design · Developing Possible Solutions
- Comparing Possible Solutions: Generate and compare multiple possible solutions to a problem based on how well each is likely to meet the criteria and constraints
3. Engineering Design · Defining and Delimiting Engineering Problems
- Simple Design Problems: Define a simple design problem reflecting a need or want that includes specified criteria for success and constraints on materials, time, or cost
4. Earth and Human Activity · Natural Hazards
- 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
5. Earth's Systems · Weather and Climate
- Seasonal changes (age 8+): Represent data in tables and graphical displays to describe typical weather conditions expected during a particular season
- Weather vs climate: Obtain and combine information to describe climates in different regions of the world, distinguishing between weather and climate
6. Heredity: Inheritance and Variation of Traits · Biodiversity and Humans
- Inheritance Vocabulary: Use vocabulary for variation and inheritance — inherited characteristic, acquired characteristic, variation, offspring, trait, species, breed, genetic, environment — and apply these when comparing organisms and explaining similarities and differences within and between species
7. Heredity: Inheritance and Variation of Traits · Adaptation
- How animals adapt to environments: Identify how animals and plants are adapted to suit their environment and understand that adaptation may lead to evolution over time
8. Heredity: Inheritance and Variation of Traits · Natural Selection
- 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
9. Heredity: Inheritance and Variation of Traits · Inheritance of Traits
- 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
10. From Molecules to Organisms: Structure and Processes · Growth and Development of Organisms
- 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
11. From Molecules to Organisms: Structure and Processes · Structure and Function
- Structures for Survival: Construct an argument that plants and animals have internal and external structures that function to support survival, growth, behaviour, and reproduction
12. Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions · Types of Interaction
- 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)
13. Matter and Its Interactions · Types of Interactions of Matter
- Heating & Cooling Changes: Observe and describe that some materials change state when heated or cooled, and measure the temperature at which changes occur in degrees Celsius
14. Matter and Its Interactions · Structure and Properties of Matter
- Evaporation & the Water Cycle: Identify the role of evaporation and condensation in the water cycle, and associate the rate of evaporation with temperature
